Ayton the Glass Eater

Anyone who saw Game 1 had to notice Deandre Ayton. With the style the Milwaukee Bucks play, he was often left alone to have his way with rebounding duties. In fact, the only guys that could stop him from grabbing boards were his own teammates.

Tonight I think it’s smart to go after Ayton’s rebounding number as he looks like a threat to pull down 20. The first step would be getting minutes and he is certainly getting them at this point. In his last four games, he’s crept into the 40s twice while never playing less than 36 in any of the four games. Simply put, when your center is in this type of company, you don’t pull him off the floor for long.

Ayton’s rebound total at FanDuel is sitting at 12.5 (-118) at the moment which is not a bad number but the -118 price tag is steep. Instead of paying -118 for 13 rebounds, why not take his “to record 14+ rebounds at +124? Over time this approach can save bettors cash especially in situations like tonight.

Over his last four games, Ayton has pulled down at least 17 boards in three of them. The only time he failed was in Game 5 against the Clippers when he grabbed 11. After what we saw in Game 1, it makes sense to ride Ayton again at this number and price until we see Milwaukee make a noticeable adjustment. Even then, it will be tough to keep Ayton off the glass.

  • The Pick: Ayton to record 14+ rebounds (+124)

Cam for Three

The Phoenix Suns can shoot the three-ball. In their last three games they’ve connected on 40.7% of their three-point attempts and at times it feels like they don’t miss. While Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges all get their fair share of shine, one guy that is still flying under the radar is Cameron Johnson. He’s been canning threes in the playoffs but people forget that he’s been doing it all year.

Johnson is a spark plug off the bench for the Suns and we can expect him to play at least 20 minutes tonight. While that doesn’t seem like much, he played 20 minutes in Game 1 and still attempted four three-pointers. In his last seven games, he’s hit at least two trays in five of them. He looks like a good bet to hit at least two three-pointers tonight.

  • The Pick: Johnson to record 2+ made threes (+108)
