Today, we have two standout picks for you from our model’s larger selection in the pivotal Game 5 matchups. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter at @ShotQualityBets to be the first to see our favorite plays during the NBA playoffs.

Today’s Plays:

  1. Jayson Tatum: Under 29.5 Points
    • Edge: 12.04%
    • Price: -113

With Game 5 in Boston, the lights will be bright, but Jayson Tatum has only scored more than 29.5 SQ points once in the playoffs. Moreover, he has yet to reach 30 points in a game against the 76ers. Our analysis indicates that Tatum is not getting the number of possessions needed to reliably surpass this line, which is why we like this under. With the model projecting a solid 26 points, the 12% edge gives us great value. Anticipate Tatum to land at around 26 or 27 points as Boston’s role players step up their game in this crucial matchup.

  1. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (KCP): Over 9.5 Points
    • Edge: 10.93%
    • Price: -115

For KCP, we’ve had success betting on his Over when he plays at home. While he was quiet in Phoenix, we still project him to score 11 points. He scored 10 and 14 points in the home games of this series and should be more involved in a game that’s likely to be less dominated by the series’ superstars. The ShotQuality numbers indicate that KCP is a highly efficient 3PT shooter and above average in creating his own shot. With the increased number of possessions likely in his home gym, we expect KCP to hit this mark.
