The Magic allowed opponents to shoot 37.3% from deep in non-garbage-time situations this season, which was the fifth-highest rate in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Mazzula&#8217;s game plan revolves around taking a crazy amount of 3s, and I expect White to have a heavy volume on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: White hit 3+ threes in 57 of 76 games this season (73.6%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sengun over 10.5 rebounds (-114):<\/strong> The Golden State Warriors are an A-plus matchup for opposing bigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Golden State allowed the most rebounds per game to opposing centres over the last 30 days (17.24) and the third-most over the entire season (16.38).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6-foot-7 Jimmy Butler is the tallest player in its starting lineup, with 6-foot-6 Draymond Green playing centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sengun had the luxury of playing the Warriors two weeks ago and finished that game with 14 rebounds in 33 minutes. That marked the third-straight game against Golden State where he cleared this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Turkish centre averaged 10.3 rebounds this season, so this line seems light considering the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mitchell under 24.5 points (-106):<\/strong> This is less about Mitchell&#8217;s performance and more about how good the players around him are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers coasted to an Eastern Conference-best 64-18 record, scoring by committee. Seven different players averaged over 10 points per game with four taking more than 10 shots per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitchell led the pack in both categories (24.0 PPG, 18.6 FGA\/game), but he was far from the clear-cut alpha dog you see on other teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fading him against this number makes sense, especially against the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami ranked ninth in defensive rating this season and held opposing shooting guards to the second-fewest points (20.68) and 3s (3.02) per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 3:05 p.m. ET on 04\/18\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got three prop bets from Sunday&#8217;s NBA playoff slate.
