Chet Holmgren H/L 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Chet Holmgren averaged 1.4 made threes on 3.6 attempts during the regular season. That’s jumped to 2.2 makes on 5.3 attempts this postseason—but I still see value on the under.
Against Denver, Holmgren went 0-for-3 in Game 1 and followed it with a 2-for-3 performance in Game 2. Now heading into a hostile Mile High environment, against a Nuggets team hungry to respond after a 149-point defensive collapse, I expect a more locked-in effort from the Nuggets.
Holmgren can still be efficient, but I doubt he’ll find the same rhythm from deep. And with sharp books pricing the under as high as -140 while Underdog is hanging a better number, it’s worth jumping on the value.
Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Prediction: Chet Holmgren Lower Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Max Strus H/L Than 10.5 Points
The Cavaliers are expected to get key reinforcements in Game Three with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley likely returning after missing Game Two.
If they’re back in the lineup, it should cut into the offensive workload for role players like Max Strus. His points prop sits at 10.5, which feels high given his scoring volatility. He did put up 23 points last game without Garland and Mobley, but this number looks like an overreaction and I’m going to take the under.
Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Prediction: Max Strus Lower Than 10.5 Points
