A pivotal playoff Sunday presents four matchups with major stakes. Three of today's games are in series sitting at 2-1, which signals sincere motivation for respective underdogs. The.
The Cavaliers couldn't keep up with Toronto's scintillating shooting in Game 3, yet the Raptors are unlikely to sustain 61% from 3-point range, suggesting today will reveal if they can compete with Cleveland over a long series.can put up big numbers, while the key question is if Portland's secondary scorers can complement their All-Star forward in hopes of tying the series.continues today in South Philly at 7 p.m. ET. The Celtics, as you might have heard, have gotten the better of this rivalry dating back to the 1960s.
The 76ers listas doubtful, which is at least an intriguing upgrade to his status. Today will reveal if this is a competitive series or merely a gentleman's sweep. The nightcap features the Lakers seeking the franchise's first playoff sweep since the 2010 Western Conference semifinals, one that saw Kobe Bryant average an efficient 32 PPG.
Los Angeles could getWith an eye toward uncovering compelling betting angles and daily fantasy decisions, let's take a look at the day ahead.being targeted in pick-and-roll actions and essentially played off the floor at times against the Cavaliers, "CMB" is taking on more minutes and production opportunities. Pacing the team and 12th overall in the playoffs with 15.7 rebounding chances per game, the same rate as Atlanta's, Murray-Boyle is seeing the chances required to support this rebounding prop.
The rookie is only gaining traction in the rotation, with the team's recent success in the series providing momentum heading into this matinee. Eighth among all players in the playoffs with 15.3 drives per game, Castle is getting downhill early and often against the Trail Blazers. Whileis one of the league's better rim protectors, Castle thrives from floater range and taking on contact in the restricted area, suggesting he can excel as a two-level scorer this afternoon.
Even if Wemby is active, expect Castle to take on a more aggressive scoring approach. It's possible I am overoptimistic with these overs today, although the reasoning for each case feels sound. In Drummond's scenario, he's been part of the 76ers' most effective stretches as a bully, setting screens and creating driving lanes for the team's athletic guards. While the Celtics can push Drummond off the court by going small, Philly doesn't really have many alternative looks in the frontcourt.
Simply put, the 76ers are one of the league's worst rebounding teams, which means it's difficult for Nick Nurse to keep Drummond on the pine. With Wembanyama ailing, there doesn't seem to be a clear chalk play. Barnes is the most affordable of the heliocentric stars playing today. Not only does he control the offense in many regards for Toronto, he's also at the head of the team's defensive scheme.
Few players in this price range can reasonably top 60 DraftKings points. One of the league's best floor generals is enjoying a renaissance in this series against the Spurs. With 35 shot attempts over the past two games, Holiday is proving he can still handle high usage paired with effective efficiency. The Trail Blazers simply need his offensive organization and defensive stewardship to compete with the Spurs today.
One of the true positives for Portland in this series has been the emergence of Henderson as a confident scoring microwave. The passing production remains scarce, but his team simply needs buckets at the moment. With Holiday handling distribution duties, Henderson can focus on attacking closeouts and creating gravity with his newfound touch.
