Dorian Finney-Smith 3+ 3-Pointers Made (+105)

Dorian Finney-Smith has hit this line in three of the last four games. As one of the floor spacers for the Dallas Mavericks, he gets enough volume to trust this line. 

On top of that, he’s playing 42.8 minutes per game. He’s going to be out on the floor, so the opportunities will always be there. He’s shooting 38% from downtown in this series and is averaging close to seven attempts a night. With Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson going down hill – and Rudy Gobert refusing to come out the paint – Finney-Smith will be in position to get open looks all night long. – Donnavan Smoot

Jalen Brunson OVER 23.5 Points and Assists (-115)

I can’t say enough good things about Jalen Brunson, who is going to get PAID this offseason, as he’s cleared this line in every game in this series. 

Yes, Doncic is back, but Brunson has taken 18 and 20 shots in the two games with Luka, and he’s averaging 28.6 points and 4.6 assists per game in these playoffs. 

As long as Brunson’s shot volume stays the same, he’s a great bet to get 24-plus points and assists, and he may do it on points alone.  – Peter Dewey

Joel Embiid OVER 27.5 Points (-125)

Doc Rivers is starting to feel the pressure, folks.

When asked about his history of blowing 3-1 series leads, rather than shift the focus to something like, “the past doesn’t matter, our team is focused on Game 6 tonight,” he used the opportunity to try and defend the losses instead.

I bring this up to indicate that like Doc, the Philadelphia 76ers are feeling the same added pressure after losing two straight up 3-0. And if they’re going to go down fighting, it won’t happen without the ball consistently in Joel Embiid’s hands.

To the Toronto Raptors’ credit, they’ve limited him to 21 and 20 in the last two games, but I fully expect to see Embiid’s usage rate back in the mid-30's after three days off to recover. Both he and Doc know he needs to be the catalyst in this series, and I believe he’ll take every opportunity given to set the tone early and try to shift the narrative back in their favor. – Ben Heisler
