SGA 4+ assists each game+260
1u
6.5 vs den this year, 6.4 regular season, 4+ in 73/80 this year and that’s mostly regular season minutes. I make this over 60% in 6g so -150
10
2-WAY PARLAY+300
1u
Cavs G3 / Pacers series bet, negatively correlated so we get some extra juice. I see plenty of reason to like Cleveland with healthy bodies back, but Indy is good and an 0-2 horn deficit is a lot to overcome when you’re not Boston over NYK levels of good. I make this scenario 33% likely so +200 vs this price.

Steph had become the caretaker on this team so lots of reshuffling in minutes and touches and passes without him. Podz is one of three 2-way guys on the team, rebounds well, defense, move the ball so he’ll get minutes. 6a on 9 potentials G2 and averages 4.7apg in 11g without Curry this year w 4+ in 9/11. Actually 5+ in 64%, though many pre Butler.

05/11 12:30 AM
Ant only 7 assists on 12 potentials this series, it’s been Randle with 11 and 7 assists the last two games and leading the series in potential assist by a lot with 25. Might be part Ant injury part defense but Ws are making Julius beat them.
87
Celtics -1.5 series vs NYK-240
2.4u
If the Knicks push to 7 or win the series, take my money.
83
Tatum 3s leader vs NYK+160
1u
11.5 3pa vs NYK with 10+ all four, no one else getting consistent 3pa, just should get mega volume and be a clear favorite here
89
Tatum assists leader vs NYK +250
0.5u
10/4/9/5 ast = 7apg in season series, Brunson had 2/5/4/10 so 5.25
88
Tatum 3+ 3s every game vs NYK+6000
1u
These every game bets NEVER hit. One blowout, injury, off night, etc usually kill them. BUT Tatum took 10+ 3s all 4g vs NYK and made 3-4-7-8. If he really takes 10+ every game, I have this at 16% even in a 6g series. I can get to over 35% in 5g or less. 60-1 is implied 1.6%. This will almost certainly be my favorite bet of the round by implied value. We’re talking 10x or 20x here. Full unit if you can get down.
26
Cavs in 6 vs IND+450
1u
Feels like Indiana is good but Cleveland is just a little better at almost all the same things. Indiana is good enough to contend in games and the series but Cleveland should win out.
Splitting between Cleveland and five and six gives implied 44% and +126, Sacrificing sweep as a huge improvement on Cleveland -1.5 at -160 implied 62%
84
Mobley reb leader vs IND+155
1u
This is basically a head to head with Allen, and the matchup much prefers Mobley rebounding. 12 and 13 in the two games against Indiana versus nine from Alan both games, and the rebounding chances number reflect the same thing. Allen is being pulled away from the basket to defend Turner and could even lose some minutes.
68
Mobley 8+ reb every game vs IND+575

Allen is being pulled away from the basket to defend Turner and could even lose some minutes. Implied 15% but I make this more like 18 to 24%, even though these bets do usually lose so don’t go crazy.
47
Haliburton assists leader vs CLE-250
2.5u
Easiest money you'll make this round. Hali had 13-13-12-12 assists in 4g vs Cavs last year and has a G1 line of 10.5 compared to garland 6.5 playing hurt and Mitchell 5.5. That means he should be four or five ahead each game and just slowly widen his lead. This is the Giannis points leader of this round.
19
Tatum to avg 3+ 3s vs NYK-220
2.2u
If Tatum takes 10 a game as a 35% shooter in 5 games, this has an 81% shot of cashing. If it’s more like 11.5 and 37%, it goes to 97%. Even against Orlando with them completely eliminating 3PA, he hit this. Should be good unless he gets hurt or is ice cold all series. Implied 69% is nice but way too low, should probably be at least -500.
35
Haliburton steals leader vs CLE+800
0.5u
Steals are always a goofy random market, but he leads all players in steals per game, and the Pacers have more steals and fewer times stolen than Cleveland, in part because Haliburton is the one handling.

Hit for us last series so let’s run it back. Be sure to grab this stray +300 at ESPN, looks 200 or shorter everywhere else and he should the favorite.
48
SGA rd2 assists leader+1800

same bet/reason as yesterday, just a heads up on a bad number hanging at bet365. I make him around +300 right now.
14
Tatum assists leader vs NYK+160
1u
17 potentials g1 vs 12 Brunson, and he was better in regular season matchups too. Tatum was my favorite before the series and I like him even more after G1. Play fresh or add to your position.
53
DiVincenzo assists leader vs GSW+10000
0.1u
Just a small touch cuz I don’t think this is a Conley series and DDV was really good the last two Ws games with 9 assists in one of them. This is a wide open market.
54
Gobert 10+ reb each game vs GSW+1200
0.25u
Rudy had 12–11–10–9 reb vs gsw, 10.5rpg… Ws really hurt them on oreb and don’t have enough offense to play Rudy off so he should get plenty of reb and can always have that monster game like 24 vs Lakers, 15 games with 18+ last two seasons

27
Celtics -1.5 series vs NYK-115
0.5u
Everything went wrong for Boston in game one, almost everything went right for New York, and it still took overtime to win by a single shot. I’m more confident in Boston after that, not less.
Teams home G2 after G1 loss by 3+ are 65% ATS, incl 17-5 rd2. Since 2020, Boston when fav after losing as a fav 15-3 ATS in playoffs. Great bounce back spot and the buy low spot on the Celtics we’ve been waiting for, so it’s time to take the Boston futures escalator.
48
Ant 40+ pts any game vs GSW 🐜+115
0.5u
The most fun bet you can make this round, just rooting for Ant to clown Jimmy and Draymond for how they’ve treated this Minnesota franchise over the years. He’s done this in 4 of 6 playoff series.
36
SGA assists leader vs DEN+600
1u
Huge 21 potentials G1 the way they’re defending him, way ahead of Jokic (12) and JDub (8). We’ll see if that lasts, but that’s enough margin ahead of Jokic to take an early swing at this market and think SGA should at least be played to give us options later

JDub assist overs hit rd1, keep playing. Had 9-8-6 last 3g vs denver, 7.7apg on 13.7 potentials way up from 5.1 and 9.4 season averages. 5+ every game of sweep last round, and 3+ in 28 straight games rn and 67/73 on season (92%) and now he’s playing better and more minutes. This looks 70 or even over 80% likely. If you can’t play, 6apg +300 dk is an ok pivot.

39
Braun 10+ pts each game vs OKC+725
1.5u
Braun points 16–24–19–14 vs okc, avg 18.3ppg… excellent in 3 of 4, getting 3s up (2.25/g), 2.6 bpm, 9 stocks… 10+ pts in 76/86 (88.4%) in 34mpg, playoffs up to 39mpg, only >4 fouls 1x all yr (5) and often plays with bench even in blowouts. I make this over 50% even in a tougher Braun series.
26
A.Gordon 3+ reb each game vs OKC+170
1u
AG had 18 regular season games under 24’, otherwise he’s had 3+ in 37/41 games (90%) and had 4+ all 7g vs LAC in obviously way higher minutes. It’s not sexy but I make this over 50%.

SGA assists leader vs DEN+200
1u
Adding to position after G2. He’s up 4 assists and 6 potentials a game on Jokic so +200 series leader still mispriced. +800 dk for rd2 leader is likely a matchup vs Hali Jokic too so esp if you think Denver gets another win, that’s a great escalator.

Brunson rd2 points leader+2000
0.5u
Books have this series going longest and I agree with my Celtics belief, so hopefully that means 7g. Steph out, Ant/Donovan playing hurt, the biggest completion here should be Jokic/SGA but that series could end in 6 or even 5. We want points and games, and Brunson has the best shot at both. Market up at dk too.
14
Ant most 3s vs GSW 🐜 +1800
0.25u
Buddy has been scorching hot at 9/17 but he runs super hot and cold and falls out of the rotation entirely at times. If that happens, with curry out too, this race becomes wide open. Ant only 3/9 right now so we need to see the volume come back and shot start to fall, and the injury to not stick around, but this dude led the league in threes with huge volume and we got at least three more games to come so worth a sprinkle
15
Butler most rebounds vs MIN+4000
0.25u
Ant 23, Rudy 20, Jimmy 18 right now. Edwards should tail off and Rudy is a huge favorite and far out in front in rebounding chances, but he continues to let many of them go through his hands. We’ve seen Butler in do everything mode previously and he’s only two behind Rudy right now, with always a chance Rudy could get played out of the rotation some too.

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Bet the Texans to go from worst to first in the division, and even doubled down with a Will Anderson DROY cherry on top. Joe Flacco CPOY +25000 and Nuggets over Heat +1600 exact outcome were fun, too!
Most Heartbreaking Bet
MVP bets. Tom Brady +1400 in 2021, odds-on favorite in December, but shutout vs. Saints on SNF. Nikola Jokic +900 in 2023, rightful leader all the way, but the moron voters get bored and go with Embiid last minute. Brock Purdy +5000 in 2024, odds-on favorite on Christmas, but the voters are too proud to vote for him or Dak. You're killin' me, Smalls!
