DraftKings is strongly favoring the over. Smart scored 17 in game 1 vs the Nets and averaged 17 ppg in 3 regular season game against them. I like the over here again against a weak Nets defense.
Kyrie Irving OVER 24.5 points
Kyrie scored 29 in game 1 vs the Celtics. He averaged 26.9 ppg in the regular season and 30.7 ppg vs the Celtics in 3 regular season games. Both FanDuel and DraftKings are favoring the over in this spot.
Jayson Tatum OVER 4.0 assist
Books are very strongly favoring the over here at 3.5. Tatum had 5 assist in game 1 vs the Nets. I think worst case scenario here is we push at 4.
Evan Fournier OVER 2.5 assist
All of the major books are strongly favoring over 2.5 assist. NumberFire has Fournier projected for 3.6. He averaged 3.4 apg on the regular season and averaged 3.3 apg in 3 games vs the Nets on the regular season.

Books are strongly favoring the under here. Tatum made just 1 3-pt in game 1 vs the Nets and just 2.9 made per game on the regular season.
Mikal Bridges OVER 1.5 3-pt made
We took the over in game 1 at 1.5 and Bridges hit 2. Let’s go back to the well. All of the major books are favoring the over yet again. Bridges averaged 1.9 3-pt made on the regular season and 1.7 3-pt made in 3 games vs the Lakers on the regular season. All signs point to Bridges making 2 3’s again tonight.
