Karl Anthony-Towns o1.5 Assists

gl
Towns’ potential assists metric, which sat at 4.8 during the season, dropped to 3.3 versus Detroit in Round 1 and sits just on the other side of two dimes against the Celtics. But with Boston now playing without Jayson Tatum, its rotations get a shakeup and KAT finds himself guarded by bigger defenders in Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet. Towns is a versatile 7-footer who can put the ball on the ground and attack the basket, especially if he has slower matchups on him. Expect him to be aggressive, drawing defenders and opening up kickout spots to shooters. New York is a much better shooting team inside MSG, ranked fourth among home court field goal success. Player projections all come in above 2.5 dimes with a ceiling of 2.9 assists. My number says 2.8 helpers from Towns, which should have Over 1.5 assists 

Cubs under 12 -121

The total has gone under the last 5 CHW games and 7 of 8 road games. Good luck

NYK -2.5

Knicks will finish off Boston at home after being blown out last game and Brunson getting fouled out. Look for knicks to make it to the next round at home

Celtics +2.5
Celtics need this game to stay alive. So I will take the points

Twins -110

They have won 11 in a row might as well make it 12

Kansas City Royals ML -140
Home game on a quick turnaround for both teams. Fatigue a factor for STL.

Florida Panthers PL +115

Better team playing at home. This series is 3-2 and a loss would force a game seven back in Toronto. Florida knows this is their best opportunity and will build on the game five killing. Panthers are 27-12 at home this year. Even a one goal lead late can lead to an open netter. I see Florida winning 5-2.

Texas -1.5 runs +105. Evoldia is pitching tonight with a 1.79 era. McCullers is going for Houston with a 15.75 era. Texas has won 6 in a row now so stay with hot team.

Chicago under 11.5 The Under is 8-1-1 in the White Sox's last 10 games

Giants ML -190
I’ll take Logan Webb at home. This guy is a cy young when pitching in his home
Ballpark.

Taj Bradley o17.5 outs…-155…has hit 18 outs 3 out of last 4…now facing light hitting Marlins

Boston Celtics +3 (-110) buy up 0.5 Pts

Predicting the outcome of a game based solely on trends or records can lead to misconceptions. Sometimes, intuition is needed to make a guess.
This series is fiercely competitive for both teams, defined by intense victories and gut-wrenching defeats.
I am confident that Vegas is not yet ready to conclude this exhilarating series. Instead, we will have a dramatic Game 7, where anything can happen.

New York Yankees -145
Mets starter Megill has allowed 11 runs in his last three starts
Mets have lost four of Megill's last five starts
Yankees starter Rodon has only given up six runs in his previous four starts
Rodon is averaging more than a strikeout per inning and is allowing a .171 batting average on the year
Yankees averaging 5.81 runs per game (2nd in the MLB)

New York Knicks -2.5

This is their Championship game. I believe they have to win this game to move on and they will. They been playing defensively much better than Boston this series and I see them putting the hold on them. NY by double digits in this one. I also like a sprinkle on the under 211 , defense will come to play tonight

Florida Under 1.5 1P

Series has turned defensive after a few game of offense. Look for “Bob” to control Toronto offense . Games in this Series have started off slow last fee games.

Under 1.5

NBA Boston +2.5
Celtics played strong in game 5.
They have owned the knicks in the past.
So I think they will come out on top in
this one and force a game 7 back in Boston

Unfortunately… the Knicks -2.5. If you follow Selections Central, you’ll know I talk about my Boston (and Nuggets) future plays all the time.

But in this one let’s break it down.. 2.5 points. Ok Knicks play a lot of close ones, so you may want to go ML - but here’s the statistical breakdown:

In game 5, the Knicks shot 35.8% my goodness. High school teams shoot better. But much like the logic to go with the Celtics in game 3, bc of statistical anomalies in 1 & 2 with terrible Celtics shooting -the Knicks have a similar argument. Knicks shot 40% from 3, which is high but Celts shot 44%! Additionally the more important stat is that they shot 52.4% from the field. That’s crazy. And most of the runaway was in the second half

52.4% vs 35.8% and I think these teams are close skill wise… but now the Knicks are better when Celtics don’t have Porzingis (for significant time) or Tatum. Anunoby shot 1-12 and he’s an effort/defense guy… you think he’ll be motivated to play good defense in the Garden?

Unsure if I’ll be laying any Unfair Advantage units (another way to say my hard earned dollars lol) on them yet, but I believe the Knicks win this one by 7-9 and it does not come down to the final shot. I do think it’ll be within 5 points sometime in the 4th quarter though.

A's +1.5..-135...Sears has a 2.80 ERA this year and the A's won his last 5 starts..The Giants don't hit lefties well and have only won twice when facing one this year
