Pick 4:

Jrue Holiday 20+ (Player Points) 3 units

Jrue Holiday Over 23.5 (Player Points)

Pick 5:

Bobby Portis 25+ (Points, Rebounds & Assists)

Portis’ role in this playoffs is a prime example. After being a key bench player for the Bucks over the regular season, Portis fell out of the playoff rotation towards the end of the Nets series. During the Conference Finals, the sixth year pro had re-assimilated into his normal bench role through the first four games. But now, he’s been thrust into the starting lineup in Game 5, to replace Antetokounmpo.

The immediate results were stellar. Portis scored 22 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 36 minutes in Game 5. The big man tied for the Bucks lead with 20 field goal attempts, also representing his high water mark for the season. In fact, Portis lead the Bucks in usage in Game 5, showing that his involvement was part of the gameplan.

The Arkansas product has been primarily matched up with John Collins or Danillo Gallinari, neither of whom has provided much resistance. Portis has scored 21 points on 8/15 shooting against them both this series.  With Clint Capela shifting his focus to defending Brook Lopez, it’s the more nimble Portis who has the advantageous frontcourt matchup.

Plus, the Hawks have struggled to defend power forwards all season.

The Bucks came into Game 5 with a strong gameplan predicated on moving the ball around. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday were exceptional in balancing their own socring with facilitating, allowing Portis and Lopez to combine for 55 points. The former will continue to be the focal point of the Hawks defensive gameplan, so I’m expecting more opportunity for Portis.

Adding:

Bogdan Bogdanovic Over 17.5 (Player Points)

Bogdan Bogdanovic Over 2.5 3-Pointers
