🔥 Jayson Tatum Over 16.5 rebounds + assists (+102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Boston hasn't been living up to its billing as an NBA championship odds favorite after blowing two straight games against the Knicks. And while Tatum's shooting woes have been killer, he's still managing to put up major rebounding and assist numbers. Despite shooting just 28.6% from the floor through two games, the Celtics' All-Star is averaging 15 boards and 5.5 apples against New York.

He's been a rebounding machine all playoffs while sitting third in rebounds per game during the postseason (12.5), and Tatum has topped 16.5 rebounds and assists in five of six playoff games. That streak should continue against the Knicks, especially since it's the only positive way he seems to be impacting the series.

🔥 Anthony Edwards Under 3.5 made 3-pointers (-140) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although Edwards is coming off his most prolific season as a 3-point shooter, the 23-year-old has left a lot to be desired from behind the arc during the postseason. He's shooting just 33.3% from deep and averaging 2.7 makes per game through seven playoff contests while taking just 8.1 threes per outing, down from his regular-season average of 10.3.

Edwards has hit fewer than four 3-pointers in three straight games while shooting just 3-for-20 (15%) from deep over that span. The Warriors will likely want to keep the pace slow without Curry, and that should make it much more difficult for Edwards to hit the Over against a Golden State team that was seventh in defensive rating this season (111.7).

✅ Best odds: -140 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $7.14 profit)

🔥 Buddy Hield Over 14.5 points (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

With Curry out and the Warriors hoping to make use of the game they stole in Minnesota, Steve Kerr needs to continue relying on Hield. The former Oklahoma star has been as lethal in the playoffs as he was for the Sooners when he won the Wooden Award, shooting 18-for-28 (64.3%) from distance across his last three games while averaging 24 points per matchup.

Without Curry for all but 13 minutes in the series against Minnesota thus far, Hield's usage rate has jumped up to 24% after sitting at only 18.2% during the previous series against the Houston Rockets. That usage has led to a team-leading 33 field-goal attempts through two games, and his volume alone should help Hield hit this Over for the fourth straight contest.

✅ Best odds: -105 via DraftKings (bet $10 to win $9.52 profit)
