    Analysis

    Let's sneak this one in at the wire. SF is at the end of a trip and has lost them all on it. Just will be quick on this one to get it in.

    Picked: May 3 @ 8:12am

    Analysis

    I would go ahead and play +2.5 as cheap as +1.5 is ... but for these purposes. Atlanta is obviously miles better, but it's the end of a trip. Ronald Acuna Jr. surely is out again and Spencer Strider hasn't pitched in the majors since last September off injury. Kyle Freeland (3.48 ERA) has been not terrible, which is about the best compliment you can give a Rockies pitcher most years.

    Rebounds
    Picked: May 2 @ 11:14pm

    Analysis

    With their season on the line, the Pistons played Ausar Thompson 36 and 37 minutes the past two games. He responded with 15 and 10 rebounds, not to mention a total of 12 assists, six blocks and six steals. Thompson's athleticism, hustle and energy are off the charts. For Game 7, I'm expecting a ton of missed shots in what projects as another defensive grinder, giving Thompson plenty of opportunities to grab eight rebounds. I would also go Over 8.5 at plus money.

    Rebounds
    Picked: May 3 @ 8:25am

    Analysis

    Ausar Thompson has grabbed at least eight rebounds in five of the six games in this series. The one time he didn’t, he finished with seven boards over just 25 minutes in Game 1. Since then, he has averaged 34 minutes a game. He is one of the Pistons best defenders, so despite his offensive shortcomings, he should play a ton again as the team tries to advance to the second round. There is plenty of juice here, but the over is still appealing.

    T. Harris
    Over 17.5
    -122
    Points
    Picked: May 3 @ 8:30am

    Analysis

    Tobias Harris came into Game 6 with an ankle injury. It didn’t seem to limit him as he finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. That was his fourth straight game with at least 20 points. Jalen Duren has disappeared in this series, which has left Harris to average 35 minutes and 17.2 shot attempts per game. There should be no shortage of minutes and shot attempts for him in this crucial Game 7, so take this over.
