Hey All!
We have our first 3 unit play in the NBA Playoffs. Exciting times.
Take the Suns -1, 3 units
Suddenly, because Booker is out and Phoenix is on the road, they’re a virtual pick-em? Ya know what I say to that? Get the fuck outttaaaa here! The Suns are an incredibly deep, talented, and well-coached team. Monty has plenty of time to prepare for game 3 and after Phoenix had such a horrid 2nd half of defense, the Suns will come out with renewed energy on that side of the floor. The Pelicans pretty much couldn’t miss a bucket either, so that’s bound to regress. A line like this one is very rare on a team that should still be considered the favorite to win the title. Booker is important, but he’s not the most essential piece for Phoenix; Chris Paul is, and this team still has their leader. 3 units on the Suns to win/cover.
Prop Tonight: Durant over 36.5 Points and Assists, 1 unit
The Nets will look to expose Boston’s concentrated attention on Durant and that will result in one of 2 things – either a ton of points or a ton of assists for the All-Star and former MVP. Kevin Durant is one of the best offensive players in the world and this feels low for a “response-game” tonight.
