Going towards the later stages of the playoffs I'm finding the lines to be super sharp so only playing these for 0.5 unit each
Obi Toppin (Pacers) over 9.5 points -1.95 odds on bet365
Mike Conley (Timberwolves) over 16.5 Points + Assists- 1.85 odds on Ladbrokes

Funny enough I like the same guys as you tonight Doubler, just playing it a little differently.
Obi Toppin (Pacers) over 15.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists - 9/10 (Sportingbet)
Mike Conley Jr (Timberwolves) over 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists - 19/20 (Sportingbet)

Nothing like the unsolved NBA mystery of how players will constantly take 10+ shots per game, and then on a given night just decide 'nah I am not shooting tonight' and take just 5 shots...
Also who would of thought the defending champs, are going to get swept 4-0 by the Timberwolves, crazy!

If you look closely this Timberwolves team is built like the 2020 Lakers. Athletic bigs that can defend and get their own points. Gobert/Kat/Naz are AD/Dwight/Javale. Defensively ANT/McDaniels/NAW is Caruso /Green/KCP. They are a nightmare for the Nuggets.Naidoo wrote:

More importantly I need OKC to win against Mavericks to get better odds for Timberwolves W. Conference outright winners and a sprinkle for them to win it all, especially if Celtics blowout the Cavs in the game before that.

Oh yeah no doubt, this Timberwolves team is special and I think they could go all the way. I was just surprised at how easily they took care of the Nuggets away from home as well.
If no Jarrett Allen, then I see the Celtics winning 4-0. Says so much that books only offering 19/10 on Celtics to sweep the series.

1-1 on this, Tyrese got his groove back today unfortunately.

This should have been a 2-0, Brunson gets injured in the first quater, doesn't play until the 3rd quarter and finishes with 29 points, just a bad beat on the SGP with the rest cashing rather easy.

Kyrie Irving ( Mavericks) over 23.5 points- 1.86 odds on Ladbrokes, juiced everywhere else
Luka is hobbling, has a knee injury, anticipating Kyrie to play 42-45mins, they don't want to go back home 0-2. I like this spot for Kyrie, a natural scorer

Knicks/Pacers series is going by home form, so would expect a Pacers win tonight to tie the series 3-3. One player who has struggled in the last two games is Donte Divincenzo, who has missed plenty of shots. Based on those performances, his PRA line has dropped to 24.5. It seems too low to me, Divincenzo is a player who will still put up a minimum of 13+ shots a game, and based on the volume he should go over this line, if he improves his shooting.
Donte Divincenzo (Knicks) over 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists @ 17/20 (Sportingbet)
