Donovan Mitchell, Under 28.5 Points  

NBA Odds: -115 at BetMGM

Mitchell scored a playoff-high 33 points in Game 1 vs. the Pacers, but on 13-of-30 shooting and the Cavs lost. He was averaging closer to 17 attempts per game this postseason. With PG Darius Garland and PF Evan Mobley and their combined 39 ppg hopefully back for Game 2, Mitchell shouldn’t have to shoot 30 times.

Max Strus, Over 2.5 3-Pointers 

NBA Odds: -112 at FanDuel

Strus was 2-for-8 on 3’s in Cleveland’s Game 1 loss. But the small forward is in there to shoot 3’s on offense. He hit 3-plus in three of the four games vs. the Heat, the lone Under due to shortened minutes in a 55-point win. Reinforcements should open up looks for Strus.

Draymond Green, Over 4.5 Assists 

NBA Odds: -106 at BetMGM

The Warriors forward was inconsistent in the seven-game series vs. Houston, scoring anywhere from 4 to 16 points, grabbing 1 to 8 rebounds and adding 1 to 7 assists. He was a difference-maker when he passed, and against the taller Timberwolves, he’s been a pass-first playmaker, generating 6 and 7 assists in two regular-season games.
