L.Walker u7.5 Pts-110

Lineup change: Vandy starting. Different fit this series. Schroder coming off bench & should take USG in lineups w/ Lonnie & Rui. 51.4% of shots coming from 3PT & DEN allows 4th fewest. He took 1 shot in the 2nd half. #PlayerProps

M.Porter o6.5 Rebs-120

Via @JoeDellera & @wheatonbrando . 12 reb chances in Game 1. 7 & 9 L2 vs: LAL. Malone puts him on AR, making it easier to sag off & help on blitz. This also allows him to be closer to rim while AG is busy w/ LeBron. #PlayerProps

D.Russell u20.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-120

Don’t think this series is for him. LAL need size. 9 MIN in the 2nd half. D’Lo was a team worst (-25) in Game 1 vs. DEN & may be at risk for losing his starting role. Tough matchup vs. KCP & B. Brown. 4.0 pAST L4. #PlayerProps

L.James u2.5 3pt M-185

Under in 10 of L12 games. AG tight on-ball defense. LBJ avg. 1.4 3PM vs. DEN (4th lowest) amongst all teams L2 szn. DEN 3rd lowest 3PT FREQ% in playoffs & allow 4th lowest above-the-break 3PA (LBJ takes 97% of time). #PlayerProps

Doubling down on this after AD managed to dish out 3 assists on 1 potential assist last game. Yes, you read that correctly. I was wondering out loud on twitter how he got credit for 2 of his assists (that were very questionable calls by the scorekeeper) and the tracking data apparently backed me up. His pass rate and potential assist rate were down in Game 1 and yet he had a 300% potential assist conversion rate. “He can’t keep getting away with this!”. Projecting this closer to -145

D.Schroder o9.5 Pts+100

Bet at FanDuel. Likely starting again in G2 and Russell minutes trending down. See full analysis on @GreenDotDaily at 3pm ET.

Bet at DraftKings. Big bounceback spot for AG. This is down to -135 and -140 at some books. Grabbing now before DK adjusts. See full analysis on @GreenDotDaily at 3pm ET.

15 points in game 1, but made 2/3 closely contested threes. Lakers 6th best vs spot up shooters in reg season (1.01 ppp - 0.95 in playoffs). Under in 7/12 in playoffs.

D.Russell u4.5 Ast-120

Didn't play the last 13 minutes of Game 1 and will get squeezed again due to lack of defense. 3, 1, 2, 3 assists L4 on 4.9 potential assists per game -- way down from his 11.1 potentials per game during regular season.
