1. LeBron James OVER 9.5 Rebounds

I’m riding a 5-0 prop heater since the inception of this article, so I feel a little added pressure to do right by everyone again tonight. Tonight’s first prop should look familiar if you read my Game 3 or 4 NBA picks, but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
LeBron James continues to see an increase to his rebounding production as Dwight Howard‘s minutes have disintegrated into the single digits. With Markieff Morris picking up 30 minutes in Game 4, the small-ball Lakers with Anthony Davis running the five creates a clearer path for LeBron to clean up on the defensive boards.
What’s an added bonus is the number remains at -134, identical to the price this same prop at the same 9.5 over/under had on Tuesday. Let’s go right back to the well for a unit on this prop and hopefully collect on it for a third game in a row.
2. Duncan Robinson OVER 11.5 Points

After basically no-showing in Games 1 and 2 of this series, Duncan Robinson kicked it into gear in Games 3 and 4. The past two games he’s seen his court time boosted to an average of 36 minutes per and would’ve seen more if not for foul trouble in Game 4. Even better, he’s averaged 15 points and eight 3-point attempts per game the past two.
There should be ample opportunity for the sharpshooter to bust above 11.5 points with that kind of volume from deep. Add in some possible extended run in an elimination game, and all the signs are there to make this over one of my favorite NBA picks on the day. One unit should do the trick.
