Mitchell Robinson OVER 9.5 Rebounds
When it comes to sports betting, it's common to focus on the big names and overlook the underdogs. However, sometimes the lesser-known players can surprise us the most. Mitchell Robinson is one of those players who can catch us off-guard.
Robinson is a young and promising center for the New York Knicks. He's known for his tenacious rebounding ability, which was exemplified in Game 1 against the Miami Heat, where he grabbed a whopping 14 rebounds. He's been averaging 9.7 rebounds per game during the playoffs, and with a rebounding line set at 9.5 in Game 3, Robinson can surpass this mark with relative ease.
Robinson's relentless approach to rebounding is what sets him apart from other players in his position. His length, athleticism, and timing make him a nightmare for opposing teams in the paint. He has the skills to consistently grab rebounds and perform at a high level.
A few of the sportsbooks are leaning toward the Over as well. FanDuel is juicing the Over at -148, and Unibet isn't too far behind at -141. Take the Over!
Klay Thompson OVER 23.5 Points
Klay Thompson is a stellar shooter, with a remarkable average of 41.6% from beyond the arc throughout his career. His exceptional talent means he can take shots from just about anywhere on the court, and when the pressure's on, his teammates rely on him to score.
To stay even with the Lakers, Klay will have to bring his A-game and deliver some superb shots at crucial moments. Given Klay's ability to shoot accurately and quickly, he may have a huge night. It's worth mentioning that Klay has had an impressive track record against the Lakers, and he easily exceeded this point total in Game 1 and Game 2.
It's also worth noting that Klay has been on fire lately, averaging 23.6 points per game in his last 5 games. He seems to have incredible momentum, and with the importance of Game 3, he will look to leave his mark. Bearing in mind that there are several game factors to consider, Klay's recent success and history against LA make the OVER 23.5 points bet sound like a realistic possibility.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 17.5 Points
Meet Bam Adebayo, one of the Miami Heat's brightest talents, a player who can dominate both in offense and defense. Yet, in his next game against the New York Knicks this Saturday, his point production may fall short of 17.5.
Why? Because the Knicks boast one of the most impenetrable defenses in the NBA, which can stump even the most seasoned scorers. New York's defense is the best in the league at limiting points in the paint.
That said, let's not forget that Adebayo is a phenomenal athlete who can surprise us even when the odds seem stacked against him. However, Bam is only averaging 16.9 points per game during the playoffs, and he's stayed under this total in 4 of his last 5 outings. That's enough for us to pull the trigger on the Under!
