Mitchell Robinson reb leader vs IND+1100
1u
Mitch is a rebounding monster, especially oreb. He’s only 2 reb behind Hart and KAT, the only competition here, and starting comes at the direct expense of both. More Mitch means less Hart minutes, and it also means KAT further from the basket on both ends. There’s injury risk as the minutes ramp up but I’d make him the favorite as a starter so this is a bad number heading into G3 in a starting role he could keep.
78
KAT round leader in rebounds-140
2.8u
Series should go longer than WCF, and KAT dominated vs Indy, with Knicks crushing on glass esp oreb. Series rebounds line too juiced to play but I don’t like the big men in the west anyway, not great reb or consistent minutes. Should be clear favorite here barring injury or constant fouls.
56
Haliburton 3s leader vs NYK+250
1u
Hali absolutely bombed vs Knicks in playoffs last year, took almost 10 a game and made 29 in seven games, over 4 a game on 44%. Averaging 8.8 attempts in 13 games against the Knicks the last two seasons with 3.3 makes. Shouldn’t be huge 3pt volume this series but I like Hali as the clear favorite.

Haliburton 3s leader Conf Finals+650
0.25u
Hali absolutely bombed vs Knicks in playoffs last year, took almost 10 a game and made 29 in seven games, over 4 a game on 44%. Averaging 8.8 attempts in 13 games against the Knicks the last two seasons with 3.3 makes. Shouldn’t be huge 3pt volume this series but I like Hali as the clear favorite.
29
Mathurin 3s leader vs NYK+12500
0.25u
2.3 per game in the playoffs, Mathurin has been playing well and he already hit 7/9 in one game against Knicks. It’ll be tough coming off the bench but it’s such a long number.
51
Alexander-Walker 3s leader vs OKC+1400
0.25u
Minnesota is running short on options but NAW has played well both ways and is 4th in minutes. Huge plurality of wolves atop 3s leader market rn, and I still think it’s Ant most likely but if this ends quickly and he keeps missing (correlated!) it could be wide open. Be sure to shop around for long numbers on this market!
22
Ant 6rpg vs OKC-210
0.05u
If you like surer things, this is still playable. No need to add to your -155 pre flop position.
7
Ant reb leader vs OKC 🐜+500
1.25u
If you played pre series +5000 you’re set. This bet looks even better after G1 and is still worth investing at +500. He’s leading right now and the bigs were poor in G1.
50
Ant pts leader vs OKC 🐜+2500
0.5u
SGA is probably gonna win this. Already up 31-18 and much better matchup for him. This is a bet on principle. 13 points is nothing to a scorer like Ant. If he gets hot and 3s rain, we’ll be glad to have this ticket. Just too many games left to not take a shot on such a dynamic scorer.
54
Ant ast leader vs OKC 🐜+1400
0.5u
SGA had 9a G1 so he’s a huge favorite now but he did that on only 10 potentials. By potentials, JDub and Ant were right there with him. It’s a long series and this still looks like a pretty coin flippy race G2 forward. SGA has a big head start now on JDub (5) and Ant (3) but a lot can happen. I bet both guys before the series and G1 didn’t go well but I still see opportunity so let’s take one more shot at this market on both guys. Add to your position or play fresh.
51
JDub ast leader vs MIN+1600

JDub steals leader vs MIN+130
0.65u
JDub had 5 steals in G1 and leads both teams in SPG anyway, including 1.8 in the playoffs and 2.8 vs Minnesota this season. He was straight ripping guys. I don’t like playing steals game to game bc they’re so volatile but he’s got a great head start and looks like the best pick. You can play just o1.5 steals if you prefer.

DDV o6.5 3PA+110
MIN
103
118
OKC
0.75u
FINAL 5/23
DDV took 12 3s in G1 and is clearly a big part of the rotation and plan. When he plays 27+ minutes this season, he has 7+ 3pa in 23/32 games, 72% hit rate to this, averaging 8.4 attempts. If you can bet attempts, we don’t have to worry about makes. If you prefer makes, go for the outliers I’m case the volume is high and the shots fall.

More Mitch means less Hart minutes, and it also means KAT further from the basket on both ends. There’s injury risk as the minutes ramp up but I’d make him the favorite as a starter so this is a bad number heading into G3 in a starting role he could keep. Should be the favorite for G3 leader too, see if your book has the market available

Pacers 4-2 exact outcome vs NYK+500
0.5u
Are we sure these teams didn’t body swap midseason? Pacers 60-win pace since Jan 1 and D leapt into top 10, while Knicks #2 offense plummeted to below avg around the same time. Both teams have looked the part in the postseason too. I think this series is long and twisty but think the Pacers are better, so spitting series bet on Indy in 6 (+500) or 7 (+700), combined implied +243.

Hart 6 Reb each game vs IND 💙-110
2u
In 12 healthy games vs Indy last 2 years, Hart is averaging 11.3rpg with at least 8r every game and double digits all but two. He’s had at least 6r in all 24 healthy playoff games the last 2 years and should be an oreb weapon vs bad reb team. 10.4rpg in playoffs so far. The floor is there and so is the ceiling.

Buckets 5% draft 🪣 Haliburton 8.9 BPM and 138 Ortg since Jan 1. He might be the best meaningful player in the east playoffs. I like Pacers as clear first round favorites, and we don’t know for sure if the Cavs are the real thing in the playoffs. Pacers can score with anyone and have already shown they’re live vs NYK or BOS in potential ECF.

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.

Taking advantage of a bad SGA price we may never see again, plus Ant, gives us implied -114 for what should effectively be OKC or MIN to in the title. Either one will be favored WAY more than that in a Finals matchup.

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!
