Last time we'll see this at + odds. In their four regular-season meetings, the Spurs designed their defense to dare Alex Caruso and Lu Dort to shoot. The duo combined for 25.4 three-point attempts per 100 possessions against San Antonio, way up from 18.3 overall this season. How it works is that Wemby roams off the corner as the help defender, the closeout from the perimeter rotation arrives late, and Caruso is the guy left holding the ball with daylight in the corner or above the break. Mitch Johnson is gambling that Caruso can't beat him from three. Now looking at the rotation and lineup, with JDub back, McCain and Joe should get squeezed to shorter rotations, and Caruso's defensive versatility on the Fox-Wemby switches keeps him on the floor 25-plus minutes. NBA.com data confirms 5.3 wide-open three-point attempts per game against San Antonio specifically. He's shooting 38.2% from three this postseason on real volume. The only way this loses is if he shoots terribly. The looks will be there, and this is at home, where role players play better. #PlayerProps
