    Picked: May 26 @ 12:36am

    Analysis

    Chet Holmgren has yet to clear this prop total in the Western Conference Finals, his high being 19. The Thunder are getting killed when Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein share the floor (minus 36 in 68 possessions). But they're excelling when only one of them plays. So Mark Daigneault is trying to split their time. Holmgren has not played more than 28 minutes since Game 1. This is already a tough matchup for Holmgren, and Hartenstein continues to play well. Look for Holmgren to play 26-28 minutes again and fall short on this combo line.

    -105
    PTS + AST + REB
    Picked: May 26 @ 8:54am

    Analysis

    This is a significantly discounted combination line for De’Aaron Fox who has eclipsed this in his last six postseason games, including both appearances in the Western Conference Finals. After missing the first two games of this series, Fox logged 31 minutes in consecutive games and had Game 4 not been a blowout he was set to play more, indicating he appears to be operating without limitations. I was very encouraged by how he’s played and think this combo line presents strong value.

    -125
    REB + AST
    Picked: May 26 @ 9:16am

    Analysis

    De’Aaron Fox has played exactly 31 minutes in both games since returning from his ankle injury. While he didn’t score more than 15 points in either game, he made significant impacts in other areas. After posting seven rebounds and six assists in Game 3, he had 10 rebounds and five assists in Game 4. Over five regular season games against the Thunder, he averaged 3.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists. Look for him to remain productive in both departments.

    D. Vassell
    Over 18.5
    -110
    PTS + REB
    Picked: May 26 @ 9:20am

    Analysis

    With the Spurs blowing out the Thunder in Game 4, Devin Vassell played a series low 33 minutes. He still finished with 13 points and six rebounds, despite only attempting seven shots. For the entire series, he is averaging 17.0 points and 5.8 rebounds. He was more productive on the road than at home during the regular season. He averaged 12.5 points and shot 40.8% from the field at home, compared to 15.3 points a game and 46.4% shooting on the road. In what should be a closer game, I like Vassell’s chances of hitting this over.

    First 5 Innings Moneyline
    Picked: May 26 @ 9:35am

    Analysis

    It was less than a week ago that Tyler Mahle faced this Diamondbacks team and gave up 6 earned runs through 5 innings and there's very little evidence that he'll have a drastic improvement this time around. Eduardo Rodriguez is due for some regression for Arizona, but the Giants aren't great against lefties and I think he does enough to limit runs. Ultimately, this is a fade of Mahle and a lean on the Dbacks bats that are starting to heat up.
