M.McBride o4.5 Pts-120

“Just keep shooting. Keep trusting my work.” - McBride, going into Game 1 Run it back! Brand new series, and I’ve got Deuce McBride circled as an X-Factor. As the sixth man off the bench, he struggled against Detroit’s physicality, shooting just 29% from the field over six games and clearly losing confidence by the end, getting to the point of passing layups over harder baskets. But with new matchups and a change of scenery, everything, both mentally and physically, can shift. Despite the rough showing, McBride still offers a valuable two-way impact with his 6’9” wingspan, which will be especially important against a high-powered Celtics team. The Knicks ranked dead last in 3PA per 100 possessions among all playoff teams during the regular season. New York needs players willing to fire against a Celtics squad that leads the league in 3PA. According to PBP Stats, the Knicks were -7.79 points per 100 possessions without Deuce on the floor (across 1,593 minutes). If he rediscovers his outside shot, it unlocks 5-out spacing off the bench—forcing Porzingis to defend the perimeter instead of camping in drop coverage. And with Game 1 often serving as a feel-out spot + blowout potential on the road, McBride could see extended run in a looser rotation.

Tailing @TurveyBets. Most places have this at 15.5 but Sleeper has u16.5 PTS which is what I’m grabbing. Averaged 9 PPG against Boston this season and held to 29.6% from the field. Also expect him to be running around and focused on defending Tatum.

The Celtics won the first quarter against New York by 11, 19, and 19 already this season. Maybe Boston thinks this is a cakewalk and screws around and this is a game all the way, but if they are good, the starters should make a statement immediately.
