Solid week for us finishing 12-7 and up 3.18 units depending on your strategy and if you took every play or not. We’ve got Game 5 of the NBA Finals tonight and I am going to be in the building. I can’t even express how PUMPED I am to be able to be in The Garden for a potential clinch game tonight. It’s going to be ROCKIN. LET’S GO CELTICS!!!

Celtics ML / Jayson Tatum 25+ Points (-117) 🥇
The Celtics got embarrassed in Game 4 but return home tonight and they are 16-4 following a loss this season.
Early shots weren’t falling for the Celtics and the Mavs were hitting everything. We should see things shift the other way tonight similar to Games 1 and 2 in Boston. The Celtics defense has held the Mavs to less than 100 in all 3 games where the starters actually played in the 4th quarter.
As far as Tatum goes, he’s been getting the most shot attempts and scoring opportunities and his shooting percentage was much better in Games 3 and 4 than 1 and 2.
Hopefully JT is ready for this moment tonight.

Player Prop
Payton Pritchard Threes Made Over (0.5) 🥈
We took this one in Game 3 and it hit late and it’s good value again tonight at -120.
Pritchard has hit at least 1 three in 10 of his last 13 games (77%).
He’s taken an average of 3.8 three point attempts per game in The Finals and he’s hitting at 37% in the playoffs so he should hit one tonight.
He’s hit at least 1 three in 7 of his 10 home playoff games (70%).

Dodgers (Paxton) (-1.5) 🥉
The Dodgers lost Mookie Betts to a broken hand yesterday but I still like them to cover the -1.5 going into this game. They have covered -1.5 in 2 of the 3 games against the Rockies this season.
The LA bats will face Cal Quantrill who they beat 4-1 the first time they faced him this season and they had 9 hits off of him in 4.1 innings. They also come in hitting just under .300 against him lifetime.
6-1 James Paxton will pitch for the Dodgers and he’s really been quite dominant in 9 of his 12 starts this season. That’s resulted in the Dodgers covering the -1.5 run line in 9 of his 12 starts (75%).
Let’s roll with the Dodgers to cover tonight despite not having Mookie at the top of the lineup.
