We had another amazing outing yesterday, going 2-1 in a crucial NL West matchup between the Giants and Dodgers. For those keeping track at home, that pushes my 10 day record to 16-4. With a record like that we gotta keep the locks rolling. Tonight, it's the all important game five of the NBA Finals and the stakes have never been higher. The winner will get a huge leg up in Game Six which could decide the series. With some huge stars like Curry, Tatum, and Horford in the mix, there are plenty of locks to work with.
Warriors G Klay Thompson: Under 20.5 Points (90 Thrive Points)
Klay Thompson is quietly having one of his worst Finals in awhile. He's averaging 17.3 points a game and is shooting a ice cold 35% from the field. This is a far cry from his epic series against Denver in which he averaged nearly 23 points a game. Klay's shots are flat not falling, he's 13-38 in the Finals and defending the tag team of Smart-Brown-Tatum is obviously affecting his offensive game. He's averaging about one 20 point game a series, and I think game three might have been his offensive explosion. He's game six Klay for a reason, not game 5 Klay.

Celtics PG Marcus Smart: Over 4.5 Assists (80 Thrive Points)
Even though ball movement stagnated in the fourth quarter, Smart was able to notch five assists against the Warriors in Game Four. This was the third consecutive game where Smart collected five assists in the NBA Finals and his 10th 5+ assist performance in his past 15 games. Assists have been hard to come by as the Warriors shut down passing lanes and force isolation plays from the Celtics stars. However, Smart has been able to get it done and I'm personally keeping with the streak. Here's the top players in the NBA finals by assists per game.
Warriors C Kevon Looney: Over 6.5 Rebounds (90 Thrive Points)
In the words of Kawhi Leonard "Board Man gets Paid" and Looney is looking like a multi-million dollar man with his rebounding ability. That is why the AI is giving this a 79% chance of hitting.

Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr has been employing Looney in lineups with Poole, Curry, Thompson, and Wiggins which makes him one of the only rebounding threats on the court. That lineup did tons of damage in game four so it makes sense that it'll get more run in game five. He has eleven boards in game four and is averaging nine rebounds in the series. Honestly, I could see this hitting the over in the first half with how streaky both teams have been shooting wise. This is definitely a line to take advantage of.
