Robert Williams (BOS) Over 1.5 Blocks (-140)

This is a number we were taking advantage of earlier in the series and now that it seems like he’s fully healthy, I’m right back on it. During the regular season, Robert Williams finished 3rd in total blocks, averaging 2.2 per game this year. His health has been up and down but when he’s playing 20ish minutes he’s 6/6 on 1.5 blocks, hitting this in six straight playoff games. I expect Timelord to continue to stay in the 23-27 minute range in a relatively close game. Williams is a great per minute producer and has been dominant on defense this postseason, I’m expecting another good performance.

Robert Williams (BOS) Over 1.5 Blocks + Jimmy Butler (MIA) Over 1.5 Steals (+230)

This is an example of two guys continuing to do what they’ve done all season long. Butler has been Mr. Consistent throughout the playoffs, but finally ended up dropping a goose egg last game. One of the main reasons the Heat got blown out (besides making 0 shots) was the lack of defensive intensity. Butler is averaging 2.0 steals through 14 playoff games, with 2+ in 11/14 games. I’m expecting the Heat to come out motivated today, and Jimmy Butler will get back to doing what he’s doing. You could pair this with something safer but I’m confident with what I saw with Williams last game, if he stays healthy he’s gonna hit this number.
