A.Davis u2.5 Ast+100

AD cleared this in 5 of 6 games in the series against GS, but this is a good time to fade his assists prop. He only averaged 3.7 potential assists a game, but was able to convert on 20 of his 22 potential assists (91% rate). Expect him to regress closer to his season average of 60% going forward, but even that might be a bit high considering the Lakers team total is 9 points lower than their season average. Projecting this closer to -150

J.Murray u35.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-110

R.Hachimura o6.5 Pts-120

Rui will be needed for the more physical forwards of Porter & Gordon.. even Bruce Brown who is extremely physical

J.Murray u6.5 Ast-130

U6.5 AST in 6 straight vs. AD. 40 of the 73 AST (54%) go to Jokic, mostly via PnR. DEN ranks #1 in this playtype, & faced PHX who were 2nd worst in defending. LAL defend 3rd best + will have better coverage/help on Jokic. #PlayerProps

Previously, LAL sent help 73% of time on Jokic post-ups, creating open looks for DEN shooters. He’s their worst, & LBJ should sag-off creating chances. 5+ 3PA in 4 of L5 vs LAL. AG shooting 43.8% from 3PT @ home in the playoffs. #PlayerProps
