The Oklahoma City Thunder look to send the Phoenix Suns away for the season by completing the sweep tonight, and earning an extended rest while the Lakers and Rockets get their series sorted.
In a game as meaningful as this one, we aren't just looking for standard lines — we’re looking for the "ceiling" performances. That’s where the ladder pick comes in. If you think a player might go way over their line, you bet their standard over, then "ladder" up into alternate territories (25+, 30+, 35+) for a higher payout.
Today, I'm targeting Thunder guard Isaiah Joe, who's back in the lineup after missing the last game due to a personal reason.

Isaiah Joe Three-Pointers Ladder
Joe's entire shot diet this postseason has been 3s. All of them. He's 5-for-15 from the field, all from deep.
He's only played two games, but he's logged 15 and 20 minutes, respectively, making him a regular rotation piece when active, generally speaking.
Joe went 3-for-8 and 2-for-7 from deep in this series and is averaging a 3-point attempt nearly every other minute he's out there. Because of his shot diet and volume — not to mention he's a career 40% 3-point shooter (39% in the playoffs) — he's worth backing at just 1.5, and he'll always be a candidate to explode.
As you can see with our Action Network Trends, in his last 10 games, he has an 80% hit rate on over 1.5 made 3-pointers.
He's only made more than three 3s in a playoff game in 44 appearances. Granted, that's life of a role player — he lacked consistent minutes in Philly — but still.
