Naturally, his absence should create more opportunities for other shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the start of last season, Pritchard is 13-5 against this prop when playing without Tatum. The fifth-year guard averaged 3.8 makes on 42.6 3PT% in those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Pritchard has gone over 2.5 threes in 47 of 81 games this year (58.0%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sengun over 31.5 points\/rebounds (-122):<\/strong> If the Warriors are going to commit to playing small, Houston should give Sengun every opportunity to capitalize around the rim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Game 1, Golden State deployed Draymond Green (6-foot-6) at centre. He&#8217;s a strong and scrappy defensive presence, but he gives up five inches of height to Sengun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the Warriors didn&#8217;t have much of an answer for the Rockets&#8217; Turkish big man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sengun scored 26 of Houston&#8217;s 85 points (11-of-18 shooting) and added nine rebounds. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has cashed this bet in 3 of his past 4 against Golden State.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors allowed the third-most rebounds to opposing centres this year, per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mitchell over 17.5 points\/assists (-122):<\/strong> Mitchell is playing some seriously productive basketball right now, and this is a great way to buy in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his final 11 games of the regular season, Mitchell went 8-3 against this line while averaging 12.2 points and 6.8 assists (19.0 PA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the postseason, his numbers have held up as the Heat continue to give him opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>April 16 (at Chicago):<\/strong> 15 pts, 9 ast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>April 18 (at Atlanta):<\/strong> 16 pts, 5 ast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>April 20 (at Cleveland):<\/strong> 18 pts, 9 ast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami is probably going to be eliminated in four or five games.
