Sure, Julian Champagnie went 0-for-5 in Game 4, but the number to notice there is the five. It marked actual reluctance from the gunner. Otherwise, Champagnie has taken at least seven 3-pointers in each game of this series. He has shot 37.6% from deep in the postseason after hitting 38.1% in the regular season. When taking seven 3-pointers, it is more likely than not Champagnie will hit at least three of them. This should not be set at plus money.

There is some inclination to take the Under on Dylan Harper’s points prop, set at 9.5 (-115 at bet365). But he is still logging minutes, 25 in Game 5, and perhaps he finds a rhythm now eight days removed from that initial injury. Despite the clear knock on his explosiveness, Harper has still found rebounds. He snagged five in Game 4 and six in Game 5. Credit the rookie for finding ways to impact the game despite losing some of his offensive effectiveness.
