Odds as of May 12 at Sportsbook
Josh Hart OVER 12.5 Points
Josh Hart has been a thorn in the side of the Boston Celtics. In fact, he's gone over this 12.5 player prop line in seven of his last 12 against the C's, while shooting 50% from the field.
More recently, Hart's crossed this line in five of his last six games and is a great bet to continue his hot shooting tonight. , Hart's shooting a wildly efficient 51% from the field and 42% from deep this postseason. He's also a great bet to pop up with a crucial offensive rebound or put back, so 13 points is an easy target.
Plus, Tom Thibodeau rides his starters like no other coach, so expect to see Hart on the floor for 40 plus minutes tonight as the Knicks look to take a stranglehold of this series.
OG Anunoby UNDER 14.5 Points
We're betting that Hart steals all of Anunoby's buckets tonight. Despite a strong run of scoring across the second half of the season, OG has taken a back seat in the playoffs. It's no surprise, as the former Toronto Raptor's top mission every night is to guard the opposition's best scorer.
As such, Anunoby has been tasked with containing Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown this series, and he'll continue to play rabid defense again in Game 4. That being said, OG's scored just seven total points across the past two games. He's made just 3-of-15 field goal attempts in that time frame, while playing 35 minutes a game. There's no reason to believe that changes tonight, as the Celtics play desperate basketball in an effort to tie the series. Fade Anunoby in Game 4.
Jimmy Butler OVER 6.5 Rebounds
Jimmy Buckets has sured 6.5 rebounds in five straight games. Butler will need to do so again in Game 4 as the Warriors fight to avoid the dreaded 3-1 hole.
Crucially, "Playoff Jimmy" has seen 15 rebounding chances per night across his past five games played, and will be hitting the glass heavy again tonight as the Warriors continue to trot out their small ball lineup.
On top of that, Butler's played 41 minutes a night this postseason. Look for Jimmy to continue to take up the mantle for the Steph Curry-less Warriors in Game 4.
