Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 29.5 Points + Jrue Holiday Over 0.5 Steals (-110)

Giannis is seeing some of the highest volume in all of the playoffs. He’s taken 25+ FGA in every game this series, going over this number in his last two games. While he started out slow on the road, Giannis was honestly just missing shots he normally does not (including free throw regression). That being said, this is a must win game, and without Middleton, Jrue and Giannis are gonna continue to see extremely large usage. If he’s gonna keep taking 25+ shots and getting to the free throw line 10+ times then sign me up. Holiday has 2+ steals in every game this series and in 9 straight against the Celtics, I think he should be able to grab one for us today.

Jaren Jackson Jr. (MEM) Over 14.5 Points + Tyus Jones (MEM) Over 5.5 Assists (+110)

Jaren Jackson Jr has played very well this series, averaging 20.3 points per game despite facing some foul trouble. Without Ja Morant in the lineup, we saw him take 21 shots, scoring 21 points despite going 0-7 from beyond the arc. JJJ really looked to take advantage of his size mis-match, and was constantly attacking Wiggins down low and getting to the freethrow line. JJJ is averaging 7.3 3PA this series, and will continue to take advantage of the increased usage he will see with Ja Morant out. Tyus Jones also comes in and immediately makes an impact. In his first game he was more aggressive, but still grabbed 5 assists, leading the team with 12 potential assists. Jones played 41 minutes and will continue to serve in that point guard role, I like his assist number and to grab a double double as well. 

Tyus Jones (MEM) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Speak of the devil! Jones has been one of my favorite guys to target whenever he gets starting minutes, and he showed why last game. In his first playoff start, he scored 19 points, grabbing 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 8-18 shooting. I’m not sure if he’s gonna continue to be that aggressive, but with guys like Dillon Brooks struggling we could definitely see Jones continue to live in that 15+ FGA range. Jones will likely see 40+ minutes again, and have a good chance to rack up rebounds and assists.
