Friday Playoff Picks
Three games, seven plays.
All wagers and returns based on $10. Please check game time lineups before wagering.
Knicks at HAWKS 7:05 pm EDT, Nets at CELTICS 8:35 pm, Clippers at MAVERICKS 9:35 pm.
3-pointers: Tristan Thompson (Celtics) double-double +400 (returns $50.00) Thompson is most likely going to get the rebounds. He's had 10+ in both playoff games and seven of his last 10. He's +400 because his point total is a crapshoot.
2-pointers: Alec Burks (Knicks) Over 2.5 assists +130 (returns $23.00) Burks averages 2.2 assists for the year and 3 per game in the playoffs, where he's playing more minutes.
Kyrie Irving (Nets) Over 24.5 points And Nets win +130 (returns $23.00) This should be fun.
Trae Young (Hawks) Game high scorer +105 (returns $20.50) As I have no idea who's going to win the game, I'm going in a different direction.
Free throws: Marcus Smart (Celtics) Over 23.5 points, rebounds, assists -105 (returns $19.60) In the first two games, Smart has gone for PRA's of 25 and 28. He should have as much energy at home tonight.
MAVERICKS +3 Over Clippers -108 (returns $19.30) The Mavs get no respect. The Cubans beat the Ballmers in games 1 and 2 in L.A., and in two out of three during the season, they're returning home, and they're still 'dogs. Obviously, the Clippers have to throw everything into the pot to win this game, but I'm still not going to diss the Mavs.
Steals: Maxi Kleber (Mavericks) Over 14.5 points, rebounds, assists -113 (returns $18.90) Kleber has played 30+ minutes in each of the series' first two games and gone for PRAs of 19 and 20. Fun stat: In the 17 other games this season, Kleber went 30+, he's beaten this number 12 times.
