Welcome back grinders to another addition of my Monkey knife fight plays article. We had an exciting double OT game last time these two powerhouses in the East go at it again tonight.
ARTICLE RECAP:
Steph Curry scoring prop: It was set at 34.5 points and he ended up with 37.
Damian Lillard assist prop: It was set at 6.5 assists and he ended up with 12.
Draymond Green Assists prop: It was set at 7.5 assists and he ended up with 11. I mentioned this play in my PrizePicks article because that play was based on Iggy being out and this article had already came out. So make sure you are checking out both daily not just one or the other. Props always build off each other.
Favorite Plays
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 57.5 MKF points prop: Giannis is coming to play angry tonight. After fouling out and losing in Game 3 and posting a 31% FG% which is lowest of the playoffs and second lowest on the entire season. I would say to go over on his scoring prop but that might be too high for my liking still so the fantasy prop is much safer. He is currently averaging 59.3 fantasy points per game and is currently and easily leading this series in rebounds with an amazing 18.0 rebounds per game. (Over on his rebounding prop). Another reason he has been getting these massive fantasy performances even if he isn’t scoring well is that he has been playing a lot of point guard as well as the Bucks running the offense through him while in the post. This has led to a steady increase in assists. He is currently tied for second in potential assists per game with 14.0 during the conference finals. He has bumped this number every round of the playoffs as the competition increases the offense moves more around Giannis where they need to optimize each possession. He had 7.0 potential assists round 1, 12.2 potential assists round 2 and finally he has moved up to a huge 14.0 potential assists per game this series. This has increased his floor drastically becoming the most reliable fantasy performer during both conference finals. He has been a monster all these playoffs and looks to continue that tonight for game 4.
Eric Bledsoe UNDER 5.5 assists prop: This is an easy one to me. He has had one ceiling game where he had 7 assists but besides that he is down under 5.5 assists in 9 of the last 10 games. With George Hill playing great and Brogdan getting healthier I’m expecting the minutes to decrease for Bledsoe. It looked like the Coach liked running Hill out there at Point more than Bledsoe. Who posted a 63 offensive rating last game which is horrible. Combine that with them running the offense more through Giannis this should be an easy under.
