New York Knicks @ Boston Celtics (9:00am)
Jayson Tatum is done for the remainder of the post-season, which provides a huge opportunity for Finals MVP Jaylen Brown. Brown averages a PRA of 37.5 without Tatum this season which includes Game 2 last series against the Magic, where he had 36 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
This average PRA is just in an average of 34.5 minutes per game though – I have absolutely no doubt that Brown will be playing closer to 42 minutes against the Knicks to keep their season alive, with the reason behind the low minutes in Game 4 being foul trouble.
Although Brown hasn’t been great this post-season (we successfully took the unders in Game 4), his numbers at home are much better. Being the primary scorer in this Boston team now, expect a big game.
SGM: Brown over 37.5 PRA / Porzingis Under 21.5 PR / Brunson 6+ Assists = $4.20
Golden State Warriors @ Minnesota Timberwolves (11:30am)
Has played well at home these playoffs and will look for another big game when the Timberwolves look to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
Jaden McDaniels averages 18.5 points at home this post-season, and even his overall playoff numbers are solid going at 15.6 per game.
From his four home games, McDaniels covered this line in three of them, while hitting 16+ points on all three of those occasions. With Minnesota desperate to wrap this series up on their home court, I think we’ll see McDaniels playing around 40 minutes as Jimmy Butler’s primary defender, and out of sheer time on court that should provide the wing enough looks on the offensive end.
SGM: McDaniels Over 12.5 Points / Hield Over 13.5 Points / Kuminga 15+ Points = $4.75
