Article Recap: 1/2 bubble

Nikola Jokic Over 21.5 points: He ended up with 21 points. LMA decides not to foul him down 4 with 3 seconds between shot and game clock. Which would have put him over. I just don’t get why he didn’t foul him and Pop was pissed.

Joel Embiid Under 25.5 points: He went way under and with Gasol on the floor he only had 4 points.

Favorite Plays

Kevin Durant OVER 31.5 scoring Prop: Since Boogie went down Durant is just straight carrying this team. He has gone for 38, 33, 45, and 50 points since then. This is a KISS (Keep it simple stupid) play in my opinion. With the injury concern with the Splash brothers he might have to continue this 40+ point performance to try to win this game. I would lean Durant for the Rapidfire with Harden points.

James Harden OVER 33.5 scoring prop: I was hoping they lowered him prop after not going over this mark all Jazz series. With Curry and Thompson, the main two guys guarding him, dealing with ankle injuries which limit their lateral quickness it’ll be extremely hard to guard harden. Curry guarding harden has led to 53 points per 100 possessions while with Klay guarding him he has 29 points per 100 possessions with 49 points per 100 possessions overall. Their best chance is if Curry is out and only Iggy and Klay are guarding him. This should be a high flying large volume of 3s game and fun to watch. I would go over up to 34.5 points and that’s it.

I think the Rockets steal game 1
