Lost among the numerous stats that Dwyane Wade is putting up in this series is the re-emergence of Jermaine O'Neal. It's no coincidence that the Heat's two wins came with O'Neal playing a more pivotal role. After scoring just 5 points in Game 1, O'Neal talked with his coach about becoming more involved and low & behold, the Heat actually got him the ball on the block in Games 2 & 3. The result ... 22 in Game 3, 19 in Game 2. The better part of that is he is getting to the free throw line, shooting 15 of 16 from the line in those two games. As long as the Heat don't go away from what got them their two wins and get O'Neal his touches (double digit shots needed), I like the big guy to get past this number. He'll need to remain aggressive offensively and stay out of foul trouble. Probably wouldn't hurt if the Hawks kept the game close to so that he could play more minutes. Only played 31 in the blowout in Game 3. 36 in Game 2.

Looks good, EP. Having the Hawks focusing on Wade should help this number too.
I'm thinking of taking Jermaine O'Neal +2.5 Points + Rebounds vs Al Horford. Already have the Heat/Hawks OVER 13.5 3 PT FG Made. Might add more for the later games if I like anything.Comment -
You've been dead on with these props so far so I'm going to tail these till it hurts! What the hell is another bet on top the 15 others I already have going on?
