New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat
Friday, May 12, 2023 – 07:30 PM EDT at Kaseya Center
Kevin Love (Miami Heat)
- Over 7.5 Points Scored
The New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, and the Heat shot poorly from the field. The main culprit of this was Kevin Love who was 2-10 from the field including 0-7 from behind the 3-point arc.
After shooting accurately from three-point range in these playoffs, Love had one of his worst performances for the Heat this season.
The Pick
Kevin Love is getting plenty of attempts from the field even though he’s only averaging 21.1 minutes per game during the postseason. Love is averaging 8.2 points per game this postseason. He is also averaging 7.1 field goal attempts per game during the postseason.
Love’s willingness to pull the trigger when he has an open shot will bode well for us tonight. Although Kevin Love was once a star player, he is now a role player for the Heat, and we know that role players play better at home.
NBA Prop Pick: Kevin Love Over 7.5 Points (-114) at Caesars Sportsbook
Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Friday, May 12, 2023 – 10:00 PM EDT at Crypto.com Arena
Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers)
- Over 2.5 Assists
Anthony Davis had to leave the game in Game 5 after suffering an elbow to the temple. There was a worry that Davis would have a concussion and be forced to miss Game 6. Fortunately for the Lakers, Davis tested out of concussion protocols and will be active tonight.
The Pick
Anthony Davis averaged 2.6 assists per game during the regular season. The number is the same for the postseason with Davis averaging 2.6 assists per game as well.
Davis has gone over tonight’s assist prop total of 2.5 and 5 of his last six games against the Golden State Warriors. He is averaging 3.8 assists per game over that span.
Davis has also gone over tonight’s total in seven of the 11 postseason games he has played this season. He will get his teammates involved and go over his assist prop tonight.
NBA Prop Pick: Anthony Davis Over 2.5 Assists (-130) at Bet365
Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)
- Over 5.5 Assists
The Los Angeles Lakers have a huge incentive to try and win the series tonight. The Golden State Warriors are one of the best home teams in the league and the Lakers do not want to play a Game 7 in San Francisco.
Therefore, all hands will be on deck for the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, but don’t expect the defending champion Warriors to go down without a good fight.
The Pick
Draymond Green is leading the Warriors in assists this postseason averaging 7.2 assists per game. Green only is averaging 2.3 turnovers per game. This gives Green an impressive 3.2 assist-to-turnover ratio.
Green is able to rack up assists with his chemistry with Steph Curry. Oftentimes, the Warriors pick and roll between Green and Curry turns into Green making a short hand off for an easy Curry bucket.
We will see plenty of those tonight as the Warriors put up a fight to try to extend this series to 7 games.
NBA Prop Pick: Draymond Green Over 5.5 Assists (-130) at Bet365
