NBA Postseason Basketball Predictions: daily updates

TUESDAY 7 MAY

Boston Celtics-Cleveland Cavaliers (GARA 1)

Under points of Donovan Mitchell it’s risky, it’s the same thing we said in game 7 against Orlando, where the Cavaliers star returned to make the difference with a 39-point effort, following the 50 in game 6! However, the estimates give him once again clearly below the proposed line at 28.5 points (which he had never exceeded in the previous 4 matches against Orlando) given that he is expected to score a 23.7 point projection in the first at the TD Garden, not the place easier to play.

It must however be said that Spida scored 30 points on average in 2 regular season matches against the Celtics, both played in Boston where he always went over the line, but these are the playoffs and Boston has the 5th defense this year in points allowed, 2nd in FG% and also 4th in 3P%. Boston has also had the 2nd lowest pace factor in the last 20 games, and Cleveland’s pace is never that high either, all cues that don’t help Over and high scores, with Mitchell who will obviously be the one specially monitored by Boston’s defense . At home, the Celtics are also the team that concedes the fewest free throws to opposing starting SGs, so Mitchell shouldn’t have too much help with the clock stopped.

Oklahoma City Thunder-Dallas Mavericks

Here is the overall number that comes out of the estimates above Josh Giddey it’s a nice 26.4 Points+Rebounds+Assists for this first home match of the series against Dallas who play at a high pace (also OKC which has the 3rd highest pace factor in the last 5 at home) and defensively is 20th in points conceded, 22 ° in assists and 25th also in rebounding efficiency.

The Mavs are the 9th team that concedes the most threes to opposing starting PGs, Giddey has brought down 6.1 defensive rebounds on average in the last 15 games (+1.1 compared to his own seasonal averages) and in this period of time he has also provided 6.0 assists per evening (+1.3), all indicators that are growing and pushing towards Over , as was the case in the last 2 clashes with Dallas in which Giddey finished with 22 and 26 PRA.
