New York @ Boston picks

Jrue Holiday's assist output could have been higher if not for the Celtics’ piss-poor shooting in the second half of Game 1. Holiday would register six potential assists in Monday’s outing but came in just below his closing assist prop total of 3.5 (Over -115). With Boston bound to rebound from that poor shooting effort in the second half and playing with a little extra after Game 1’s collapse, Holiday’s early player projections sit north of four assists for Wednesday’s clash. Before missing the final three games with the Magic, Holiday has dished out five and six dimes in the first two games of Round 1, boasting an average of 9.5 potential assists in those showings. The early movement in his assist market is trending toward the Over, with sharper books jumping from Over 3.5 assists -106 to as high as -120.
