Coach starts things off with two SportsLine plays of the day. The first comes from the NBA playoffs: the Suns (-9.5) to cover against the Pelicans (10 p.m. ET). "[The Suns] have been terrific: 4-1 against-the-spread this year against New Orleans," he says.
Coach goes to Major League Baseball for the second play of the day: the Dodgers (-145) to beat the Braves (10:10 p.m. ET). "The Dodgers have won seven straight games by at least two runs," he says.
Barner's two plays come from the NBA playoffs. The first is the Heat (-7) to cover against the Hawks (7:30 p.m. ET). "The Hawks are really in trouble here," he says. "They'll go only as far as Trae Young can carry them."
Barner also likes a player prop: Over 24.5 points for Anthony Edwards in the Timberwolves-Grizzlies playoff game (8:30 p.m. ET). "The guy had 30 points in the play-in game against the Clippers," he says. "He had 36 points in Game 1 against the Grizzlies."
Cimini also has a player prop from that game: Over 21.5 points for Dillon Brooks. "He feels comfortable on the floor," he says. "He's going to get his 15 to 17 shots. He shot the ball 17 times in Game 1."
Coach then chimes in with his Cash with the Coach play: Over eight runs in the Astros-Angels game (8:10 p.m. ET). "The Astros: three out of the last four games they've gone Over the total of nine," he says. "The Angels: the last five games have gone Over their total."
Selesnick closes out the show with two player props from the NBA. The first is Under 20.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists for Steven Adams in the Grizzlies-Timberwolves game. "He has been trending down recently with Brandon Clarke actually stealing minutes from him," he says.
His final play comes from the Suns-Pelicans game: Over 19.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists for Mikal Bridges. "He faced New Orleans four times in the regular season and eclipsed this total in all four matchups," he says.
