- Luka Doncic OVER 40 Points and Rebounds (-105)
- Pascal Siakam OVER 24.5 Points (+100)
Luka Doncic OVER 40.0 Points and Rebounds (-105)
Luka Doncic looked more than fine in his first game back from a calf strain, scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in 33 minutes, just short of this prop.
I think we continue to see him improve game by game and improve his play. Nobody on the perimeter can guard him, and he can be in line for a serious uptick in free throw chances on his home court after just four trips to the charity stripe in Game 4. – Reed Wallach
Pascal Siakam OVER 24.5 Points (+100)
The Toronto Raptors will be without guard Fred VanVleet in Game 5, which means Pascal Siakam is going to have an even bigger role offensively.

While Siakam has cleared this line just once in the series (34 points in Game 4), the volume has been there for him.
The All-Star forward has taken 19, 16, 20 and 18 shots through the first four games of this series, and he said he needs to be more aggressive going forward.
Siakam on what he learned watching Game 3 back:
— Vivek Jacob (@vivekmjacob) April 22, 2022
"I didn't realize I took only five shots the whole second half, that was the first thing... be more aggressive."
I love getting this prop at even money, especially since Siakam has been the focal point on offense in this series. – Peter Dewey
Siakam took just five shots in the second half of their Game 3 heartbreaking loss, providing Philly a window they needed to climb back and steal a win on the road.
In Game 4, he responded in a huge way; dropping 34 points on 53% shooting while grabbing eight boards and dishing out five assists. He put Toronto on his back, and has a chance to continue to take charge in Game 5 tonight.
Without Fred VanVleet available for Toronto, Siakam's usage rate in Game 4 went from 20% in Game 3, to 27.5% in Game 4. Via StatMuse, Siakam averaged 24.9 PPG without VanVleet in 15 games this season.
I believe in Siakam to continue to burden the scoring load for Toronto, and keep Game 5 close on the road as an eight-point dog as well. -- Ben Heisler
