Pick #1: Al Horford Over 7.5 Rebounds

Horford has gobbled up 21 rebounds through two games versus Milwaukee, averaging 36.5 minutes of playing time per contest. That’s up five minutes per outing from what he averaged against the Nets, and we shouldn’t expect him to see a minutes reduction anytime soon.

That’s because Horford has been tasked with guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo frequently. He’s excelled at that task to the point where the Celtics can’t afford to not have him out there against the Greek Freak.

Horford averaged 8 rebounds per game during the regular season playing only 29 minutes per night, so if we project him around 35 minutes the over on his rebounding prop shows major value.

Aside from injury, another factor that could reduce his playing time is if the game’s a blowout. However, with the Bucks favored by just 2.5-points, oddsmakers expect Saturday’s tilt to go down to the wire.

Pick: Al Horford Over 7.5 Rebounds (-150)

Pick #2: Draymond Green Under 8.5 Points

Our next target is the under on Draymond Green’s point total. Green has been making headlines left, right and center through two games of Golden State’s series with Memphis, seemingly for everything but his scoring.

Green is incredibly versatile, but with a roster featuring so many offensive studs, the Warriors don’t need to rely on him for points. They need him to rebound, defend, distribute and disrupt.

In four games versus the Grizzlies this season Green has failed to eclipse 8 points each time. He averaged only 7.5 points during the regular season, but the main reason to fade him is the lack of opportunity.

Green has taken six or fewer shots in five of his past six playoff games. There’s no reason to expect his volume to increase, even in a game 225.5 total, with a  especially with how Jordan Poole is playing. Poole is launching the ball at will now, and should arguably be considered the third Splash Bro. Between him, Curry and Klay Thompson there aren’t very many more shots to go around, and that’s before you add in Andrew Wiggins.

Draymond Green is averaging 42 assists per 100 possessions used during the postseason.

Green looks like the odd man out, making his rebounding and assist numbers more attractive if you want to target some of his overs.

Pick: Draymond Green Under 8.5 Points (-130)
