Jimmy Butler Over 6.5 Rebounds
Warriors vs Rockets, 9:30 p.m. ET
One of our top plays is Jimmy Butler over his rebound line. Playoff Jimmy has been a different player this year. He’s coming off two straight games where he cleared this line and on top of it scored a ton of points.
He’s crashing the glass with intensity and efficiency, showing he can still do it all in high-pressure moments. The Warriors will continue to count on him to contribute in every phase of the game, including on the boards.
Pick: Jimmy Butler Over 6.5 Rebounds
Jimmy Butler Over 5.5 Assists
Warriors vs Rockets, 9:30 p.m. ET
We’re also taking Jimmy Butler over assists in tonight’s game. Beyond his scoring and rebounding, Butler is critical in creating opportunities for his teammates.
He’s been a steady playmaker throughout the playoffs, making smart reads and finding the open man consistently.
As the Warriors rely on him more and more in these tight games, Butler’s ability to distribute the ball will be just as valuable as his scoring and rebounding.
Pick: Jimmy Butler Over 5.5 Assists
Amen Thompson Over 7.5 Rebounds
Warriors vs Rockets, 9:30 p.m. ET
On the opposite end we are backing Amen Thompson to go over his rebound line. Like Butler, Thompson can do it all. He’s the Rockets’ second-best rebounder and can rack up assists as well.
After a strong nine-rebound performance in Game 1, it’s clear that Alperen Sengun needs Thompson’s help controlling the glass to limit the Warriors’ second-chance opportunities. In a must-win game for Houston, we hope to see Amen continue production.
Pick: Amen Thompson Over 7.5 Rebounds
