Brunson took only four 3-pointers in Game 3 while scoring 30 points. He knows where his success comes against the Cavaliers, inside the arc. Brunson has shot 60% or better from inside the arc in every game of this series. Emphasizing that will only help his scoring. Then, look at each of the last two rounds: New York won so handily in each clinching game, Brunson did not play even 29 minutes in either game. Fading his assists prop is actually a bet on the Knicks.
Jalen Brunson o26.5 Points Scored (-110)
The Cavaliers defense focused on Brunson in Game 2, holding him to 7-of-16 from the field, but he solved that riddle in Game 3, going 10-of-19 from the field and getting to the free throw line 12 times.

Injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell have thrown a wrench in the Oklahoma City Thunders’ offense. Without those guards, OKC lacks reliable ball handlers. That forces Shai Gilgerous-Alexander play point guard rather than start off the ball, where he’s most dangerous. The San Antonio Spurs are keeping SGA guessing with pressure but not fully commit to double teams. Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t been able to get into rhythm, shooting a collective 12 for 32 the past two games. The rest of the Thunder’s starters aren’t picking up the slack, meanwhile the Spurs are getting great contributions from their starting five.
