We are back to basketball this week for our DraftEasy Over/Under picks, and it feels good to be back. We are catching the NBA at the right time, as the Conference Finals are finally getting good. Boston has struggled on the road all playoffs, but can you really trust LeBron James ’s supporting cast to come through with the season on the line? LeBron looked gassed in Game 5, and if he has to lean on his teammates more than usual, this game could be awfully interesting.  

Because this is such a huge game, I decided to make picks for two different Over/Under games. The first is the 4/4 game, where you can win 5X your money. In the second, you just have to guess 3/4 to double your money. Let’s get right to it.

BOS @ CLE 4/4

LeBron James 30.5 PTS: UNDER

When LeBron has gone over in this series, he has gone way over, with 42 points in Game 2 and 44 in Game 4. If he follows the same pattern, he could have another huge game in Game 6. That being said, James has two things going against him in this game. First of all, Cleveland’s role players have played much better at home in this series, and if they play well again, LeBron will almost certainly try to take it easy and let them go to work. Which brings me to my second point: LeBron looked gassed at the end of Game 5, and he no longer has the luxury of three off days like he had between Games 2 and 3.

Al Horford 2.5 STL+BS: UNDER

This number seems low until you realize Horford has only gone over once in this series, and that was in Game 2. In fact, Al Horford has gone over 2.5 STL+BS in just five of his 17 playoff games this season. I don’t like those odds.

Terry Rozier 5.5 AST: UNDER

Rozer has had 6+ assists in three games this series, including each of the last two. That being said, he and his teammates have struggled on the road all playoffs, and I think there is a decent chance Rozier plays fewer minutes, or his teammates miss a bunch of potential assists.

Kevin Love 2.5 3PM: UNDER

Love probably has to luck into three made threes sooner than later, but he hasn’t yet in this series. He doesn’t look healthy, and the Celtics have played fantastic defense against him. I think they can do it for one more game.

BOS @ CLE 3/4

LeBron James 9.5 AST: OVER

LeBron had 12 assists in Games 2 and 3 but he has gone under in the other three games. The Cavs have played much better at home in this series, and LeBron probably needs to be more of a distributor in this game so he can conserve his energy.

Terry Rozier 2.5 3PM: UNDER

Rozier has struggled on the road all playoffs, and he is 4-13 on threes in Cleveland in this season. He did make three threes in Game 4, but it took nine attempts and two of his makes came in garbage time. You can’t really count on that.

Kevin Love 20.5 PTS: UNDER

Love has gone over 20.5 points just once in this series, and that was all the way back in Game 2. He is shooting 28.0 percent on threes in this series, and if those shots finally start falling, he will almost certainly go over. I just don’t think Love is healthy, and I think the Celtics and Al Horford have done a great job defending him all series.

Tristan Thompson 10.5 REB: OVER

Thompson’s rebirth is the second biggest reason the Cavs have made it this far after they barely squeaked by the Pacers. The Celtics are probably best off letting Marcus Morris guard Thompson, but he has been one of their better defenders against LeBron, and Thompson has the advantage on the glass against the smaller Morris. Thompson has gone over 10.5 rebounds just twice in this series, but I am expecting Thompson and his teammates to play well at home yet again.
