Lebron James OVER 5.5 Assists -105 At Sportsbook
LeBron James is a monster in the postseason. Even at the ripe old age of 40, James is giving the Timberwolves all they can handle.
I love the value on LeBron OVER 5.5 assists this afternoon. James has crosses 5.5 assists in 15 of his last 19 games on the road, while averaging 7.8 assists per contest. Additionally, when trailing 2-1 in a playoff series, LeBron is an incredible 6-1 SU, averaging 32 points, 11.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists a night.
Grab the value on LeBron's props in Game 4.
Aaron nesmith OVER 13.5 Points +104 at Sportsbook
Indiana Pacers swingman Aaron Nesmith has quietly put together a phenomenal postseason. The Vanderbilt product is shooting the lights out, while knocking down over 50% of shots, and 45% of three-pointers thus far. Nesmith put up 12 points a game this season, while playing 25 minutes a night. He's now played at least 27 minutes in all three Pacers' postseason games, so an extra bucket is hardly a stretch.
Also working in his favor, Nesmith is averaging 15.3 points per game over this last 10 games on the road. With Milwaukee's defense focusing on stopping Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, Nesmith has thrived. The Bucks have struggled to stop the outside shot all year long, and Nesmith has knocked down four three-pointers in back-to-back games. Look for him to score at least 14 points on Sunday.
Franz Wagner OVER 24.5 Points -104 At Sportsbook
It's Franz time ladies and gentlemen. With Jrue Holiday out of the lineup, the Celtics menacing defense lacks the depth to contain both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner for 48 minutes. Wagner has crossed this line in back-to-back contests while shooting 45% from the floor.
The German forward even knocked down three three-pointers to lead the Magic to victory in Game 3. Wagner knows he'll need to repeat that performance tonight, in a must win game for Orlando. In three playoff games, Wagner is averaging 38 minutes a night, taking nearly 24 shots per game. Expect his usage rate to stay high, as Jamahl Mosley's squad pushes for victory against the shorthanded Celtics. Bet on Franz Wagner's OVER 24.5 points player prop.
