Bogdan Bogdanovic Under 16.5 Points
After dispatching the Knicks in five games, things get just a bit tougher for the Hawks today. While Atlanta was very impressive as a team in the first round of the playoffs, Bogdanovic struggled a bit in the scoring department. He only shot 4-for-11 in each of the final two games of the series and was 5-for-16 from 3-point range in those two games combined. The shot attempts per game were also down slightly from what we saw down the stretch of the regular season.
If Bogdanovic’s recent form is any indication, the line of 16.5 total points for Sunday’s Game 1 matchup is a bit rich. Those shooting struggles saw him finish under that line in each of the last three games. His 9 points in Game 5 marked the lowest total we have seen from Bogdanovic in some time. Although the 76ers did not rank as highly as the Knicks defensively for the season, the Hawks will still have their work cut out for them. Philadelphia finished fifth in scoring defense and seventh in defending the 3-point shot, a particular hindrance to Bogdanovic’s game. Of course, the 76ers were also very strong on their home floor this season, a fact that only further moves the needle to the under.
Kristaps Porzingis Under 5.5 Rebounds
The fact that the Mavericks have forced a Game 7 in a series that started out with them being listed as decisive NBA betting underdogs is remarkable. It is also virtually no thanks to Porzingis. He has struggled mightily during the playoffs. His scoring and rebounding production have both been well below his season averages.
Considering the plus-money odds that are placed on the under for this prop, it’s impossible to look anywhere else. The Awesemo NBA Player Props Tool loves the value here, especially considering what Porzingis has done throughout this series After a five-rebound outing in Game 6, he has now only exceeded 5.,5 total boards once in the six playoff games to date. Going back to the tail end of the regular season, Porzingis has only gone over the line twice in his last nine games played. Plus-money odds to the under stacks up as a favorite option for Sunday’s games.

Reggie Jackson (LAC) Over 14.5 Points
Jackson has provided a huge boost to the Clippers in the first round of the postseason. After strong performances early on in the series, he was moved into the starting lineup. Jackson hasn’t disappointed since. His 25 points in Game 6 on Friday marked his highest scoring total of the series to date. It also was his fifth consecutive game scoring 15 points or more.
The line for Sunday’s Game 7 sits at 14.5 points. As such, Jackson will need to run his scoring streak to six straight games with at least 15 for the over to cash. Minutes are far from a concern here. Jackson played 38 in Game 6, a must-win for the Clippers just to force today’s decisive series finale. He is also getting up plenty of shot attempts, finishing with no fewer than 12 in the last five contests. The big question for Los Angeles coming into the playoffs was who would step up as the third option behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. So far Jackson has clearly been that guy. There is no sense in picking against that continuing today.
