Odds as of May 27th

Duncan Robinson Can Shoot

Given the personality of the Miami Heat, it can be expected that they “show up” at home tonight down 0-2 in the series. The books have them listed as narrow 1.5-point underdogs to a team that just beat them by 34 points the other day which is an indicator. If they are able to make this a game and possibly win, they will need their role players to step up.

They have a three-point shooter in Duncan Robinson who is more than capable of filling it up from deep.

In Game 1, the Miami Heat took 50 shots from beyond the arc. They didn’t win, but they only lost by two points in overtime. They went away from the deep ball in Game 2 only taking 28 attempts and the strategy got them dog walked.

Duncan Robinson doesn’t need many shots to get to 15 points. He can get there in a hurry if the three-ball is falling. In fact in his last seven games, he’s canned at least five threes in four of them. Because of this, instead of taking his points total at 13.5 (-106), it makes sense to take 15+ at +124 at FanDuel.

  • The Pick: Robinson to score 15+ Points (+124)

Dame Time

If you watched Game 2 of this series, you saw what a one man wrecking crew looks like. Damian Lillard might be the most electric player in the NBA at the moment and he is must watch television whenever he is playing. What he did in the first half of Game 2 was insane.

His point total is jacked up to 33.5 tonight and while that’s not a bad play, his three-point prop looks better. In both games of this series, Lillard has taken at least 12 three-point attempts. He’s hit at least five of those attempts in both games including nine last game. Look for more of the same tonight.

  • The Pick: Lillard OVER 4.5 made threes (-111)
