🏀 NBA In-Season Tournament Semi-Final Bets

LeBron Jaaaaaaames.

💰 Punt: Bruce Brown Over 7.5 Assists & Rebounds
📗 Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 1.83 (5/6)
⚽️ Game: IND Pacers @ MIL Bucks

These two sides both rank in the top 5 for pace in the NBA which will lead to more possessions and hopefully more missed shots from the Bucks for big Bruce Brown to rebound!

When they played each other last month, Brown recorded 16 combined rebounds (9) and assists (7). The major reasoning behind this bet is the minutes that Brown will likely play, he played 35 minutes against the Celtics in the quarter-final and I’m predicting he’ll see a similar amount of time here.

When he’s played 35+ minutes this season, Brown has averaged 9.7 assists and rebounds, going over his 7.5 assists and rebounds line in 6/7 games so far. He has recorded 8 exactly twice so if the line moves to 8.5 it’ll be 4/7 games that he’s covered. However, I can see him having a big game and hopefully around 36 minutes of court time!

Punt: Bruce Brown Over 7.5 Assists & Rebounds @ 1.83 (5/6) with Bet365.

💰 Punt: LeBron James Over 15.5 Assists & Rebounds
📗 Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 1.91 (10/11)
⚽️ Game: NO Pelicans @ LA Lakers

It’s hard not to back something LeBron related when it comes to an elimination game. He posted 31 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists the other night against the Phoenix Suns and I’d expect something along those lines here for the near 39-year-old freak of nature.

He logged 40 minutes the other night against the Suns in their narrow victory which has seen them advance to face the Pelicans tonight in Vegas. I’d expect a similar amount of time on the court for the arguable GOAT here, when he’s played 36+ minutes over his last 10 games he’s averaged 17.2 rebounds and assists and is over this 15.5 assists and rebounds line in 8/10 of those matches. He’s also logged 18 & 15 assists and rebounds respectively in his last 2 games vs the Pelicans when playing 36+ minutes.

This season he’s over this line in 3/4 games when playing 36+ mins, falling short with 14 vs the Rockets who have one of the best defences in the NBA.

Occam’s Razor = sometimes the simple bet is the right bet. Maybe. 🐐
