Rui Hachimura over 12.5 points (-109)
Hachimura over 12.5 points
The absences of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves have forced Hachimura to play an enhanced offensive role for the Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch, and he’s answered the call by beating this line in six straight games and eight of his last nine heading into Wednesday night’s Game 5 clash with the Houston Rockets.
Reaves, who averaged 23.3 points per game for the Lakers during the regular season, could return to action Wednesday after sitting out for multiple weeks with a strained oblique. But even if he does play, there’s no guarantee on how many minutes he’ll receive or how effective he’ll be after missing nearly a month of action.
Hachimura is averaging 14.9 points per game over his last 10 contests and 15.5 per game in this series with Houston while playing a solid 39 minutes per contest. He’s shooting a very efficient 56% from the field while averaging 11 field goal attempts during these playoffs, but the massive minutes he plays make him a lower-usage, efficient scoring option for the Lakers on a nightly basis.
Collin Murray-Boyles over 21.5 PRAs (-110)
CMB over 21.5 PRAs
Murray-Boyles is having a breakout rookie season for the Toronto Raptors, but he’s been especially rising to the occasion in these playoffs in four games against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
CMB has looked like the better option at centre over Jakob Poeltl and is earning close to 30 minutes per game over the last two contests, as he continues to stuff the stat sheet for the Raptors in all areas.
He’s averaged 26.75 points + rebounds + assists in this series, recording 22 or more PRAs in each of those playoff games. CMB has also beaten this line in eight of his last 10 games overall as his role continues to evolve for the Raptors.
At -110 (52.3% implied odds), we’re getting good value on this betting market due to his increase in minutes and ability to contribute across all three statistical categories.
James Harden over 3.5 turnovers (-125)
Harden over 3.5 turnovers
In a now best-of-three playoff series, Harden will be handling the ball even more than usual for the Cavaliers in Game 5.
Toronto’s ball-hawkers have been giving the veteran guard fits in this series with their intensity, prompting Harden to turn the ball over four times or more in every game of this series, including seven and eight times, respectively, over the last two contests.
Harden averaged 3.6 turnovers per game during the regular season, eclipsing this line in exactly 50% of his games, including the four playoff games with Toronto. He’s turned the ball over four or more times in six of the nine clashes with Toronto this season, averaging 4.2 turnovers per game against the Raptors.
Jamal Shead has been a defensive nuisance for Cavaliers guards in this series, and to this point, Harden has especially struggled when being guarded by Toronto’s point guard.
