    NBA | New York 101 @ Miami 109 | 05/08 | 11:30 PM UTC

    Jalen Brunson OVER 29.5 Total Points + Rebounds -111

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: Jalen Brunson is in prime position for a big night. With Immanuel Quickley out, Brunson will not get much rest tonight. This is a must-win bounce back situation for the Knicks, and Brunson will be leading the fight. The guard has already surpassed this prop in 2 of the 3 games this series, and now he will have more minutes to get it done. Nobody could shoot on either side of the ball in Game 3. I am confident a better shooting performance will carry this prop. Brunson has also been sneaky on the boards, hitting his rebounds over in his last 7 games. Expect production from him all over the court tonight.

    NBA | New York 101 @ Miami 109 | 05/08 | 11:30 PM UTC

    Julius Randle OVER 8.5 Total Rebounds -139

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: If Julius Randle wants to show up, he will. There is no reason Randle shouldn't be able to hit double-digit boards in a must-win bounce back situation. Although we are working with a small sample size, the center is averaging 13 rebounds in the series. Our Sims have him at 9.4, but I feel confident he will hit double-digits with the 30 plus minutes he should be playing.

    NBA | Philadelphia 119 @ Boston 115 | 05/01 | 11:30 PM UTC

    Tobias Harris OVER 16.5 Total Points -127

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: The Sixers need to find offense from other sources tonight given the questionable status of Joel Embiid. Tobias Harris has proven that he can step up without their MVP. Harris averages 20.6 points through his 76 games played without Embiid since 2019. He most recently put up 25 points in Game 4 without the center. For a player who doesn't always show consistency, Harris is having a solid postseason averaging 20.3 points. The Sixers play faster without Embiid which should allow role players like Harris to step up.

    NBA | Boston 128 @ Atlanta 120 | 04/28 | 12:30 AM UTC

    De'Andre Hunter OVER 1.5 Total 3pt FieldGoals +100

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: De'Andre Hunter has every opportunity to hit this. I'm a little surprised there isn't more juice. Hunter has hit a 3-pointer in every game this series, and has gone over this prop in three of the five games. The volume is consistently there, the question comes down to efficiency. Hunter is coming off back-to-back games with three triples, and I expect him to keep the momentum. Atlanta's best chance of staying in this game is by hitting perimeter shots. With plenty of attention being given to Trae Young, Hunter will be a solid second candidate to take care business from the behind the arc.

    NBA | Phoenix 112 @ L.A. Clippers 100 | 04/22 | 7:30 PM UTC

    OVER 226.5 -110

    LOSS

    ANALYSIS: The Clippers have too much on their hands. This defense is not impressive without Kawhi Leonard on the court. The Clippers lineup will be smaller and faster under Westbrook, which leads me to believe we will see another over in Game 4. The Clippers cannot guard Devin Booker, and if they give him more attention today, it only allows for more Kevin Durant opportunities. Durant and Booker have both put up 40 plus minutes this series. Given their history, these players will prioritize their energy into producing points, while pumping the breaks on defense.
