Indiana Pacers @ Cleveland Cavaliers (9:00am)
The Pacers made short work of the Cavs in Game 4 with a 41 point half time lead, making the second half a snooze fest. The Cavs tidied things up and made it look semi respectful in the box score, but the majority of Indiana’s starters were not required in the second half.
Turner was one of those, with only the 22 minutes played and he only played 26 in the Cavs blow out Game 3. Turner has shot really well this series and is finding plenty of open three’s against Cleveland’s 3-2 zone. Shooting 52% across the four games and 57% from outside, both well up on season averages. A handy 7.3 rebound average including a measly 3 in the Cavs big win.
This line is set to his regular season average, but Turner seems to have found another gear for Playoffs and Indiana would be ecstatic. Smart punters may monitor Donovan Mitchell who is questionable with an ankle, his play will have a huge affect on the result of this game.
SGM: Turner Over 21.5 PR/ Nembhard 4+ Assists/ Toppin Over 5.5 Points = $3.10
Denver Nuggets @ Oklahoma City Thunder (11:30am)
It takes a team to win a championship and the Denver Nuggets know this first hand. With the selfless play of Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun this series, the Nuggets are now two wins away from another Western Conference Final. The problem is, so is OKC.
The series is deadlocked and both teams have won one and lost one, on their home floor. Gordon has been ever reliable this series and has even dug Denver out of some pretty tight situations. 38+ minutes in each game except the huge blowout, and I expect the same here. His PRA numbers have been consistently around the 30 per game and from a variety of sources. 16 rebounds in the last game but also an assist average of 5.5APG in the two home games. With so much focus on Jokic and OKC clearly affecting his impact, Gordon’s influence needs to be above average.
SGM: Gordon Over 26.5 PRA/ Hartenstein 8+ Rebounds/ Caruso 1+ Threes = $3.30
