Maxey 40+ pts any game vs BOS+300
0.5u
Fun bet. Maxey had 40+ 4x each of the last 3 seasons, including vs Boston this year, and 1 in his 5 playoff games already a couple years ago. With Embiid out and his floater working vs drop he should cook

Jokic 17+ reb any game vs MIN+300

Somehow Jokić has hit this bet in 11 straight series. Absurd player. Had 16 and 19 vs Minn already this year. Had 17+ reb in 25% of his games over 32 minutes. I make this -400.

Castle 8+ apg vs POR+165

Continuing to invest in Castle assists: 8apg since start of February, 9 since start of March. Books haven’t caught up and series should play fast, plus that was in 28mpg

Tatum 10+ rpg vs PHI+210
2u
Boston huge reb edge vs Philly. Last 13g Tatum 10.8rpg in 34mpg. Last two playoffs 10.2rpg. He’s avg 10rpg in 8 of his last 9 playoff series. Reb effort always goes up, and seems to be playing bigger role nearer basket post Achilles. 10rpg looks better than 50/50, 12 in play, was over 11 last two series.

Already talked about this in buckets, already liked at -175 like it us everywhere else, terrible line

Maxey pts leader vs BOS+140
1u
Bad line, - line elsewhere and I was eyeing it anyway. Getting helped out here by Jaylen Brown points being factored to high before the Tatum return, plus Embiid out + Boston drop

Fox assist leader vs POR+800
0.25u
After some deeper dive research I’m a bit skeptical about Castle assists now but stuck with a lot of stock. It felt like a lot more of the offense went through Fox, half court vs transition which is more playoff style. Fox way more potentials in G1, and getting a cheap number cuz Jrue had a monster game. This is a bit of a hedge that could lose both ways but it’s a bad number based on Game 1 results.

Jrue 8+ apg vs Spurs+450

Insane number. 10 apg thru 2g on 16 potentials and playing huge playoff minutes as always. Only 8 for +450 is wild, that should be the price for 10 which is a reach but attainable. Collab with @JoeDellera

Tobias Harris 8rpg vs ORL+1300
0.5u
Tobias 8rpg on 14+ chances a game, reb usually up in playoffs. Ausar 7.7 in 11.7, high effort & Duren getting limited. Both guys should see their minutes slowly increase the longer the series goes, likely more reb chances as buckets are harder to come by. Play both 8rpg together, likely only one has a shot late but these # are way off. 🤝 @JoeDellera

Celtics -1.5 series vs PHI-155

Buckets pick. Totally unmoved by G2 result, ~30 pt shot variance swing. This still gives Boston an extra L to play with but doubt they need it. I make this over -300

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!
