Kelly Oubre Jr., 76ers, Over 9.5 points

Jalen Brunson, Knicks, Over 9.5 rebounds + assists
Brunson is the floor general for the Knicks, but he finished with zero rebounds and three assists in New York’s win over the Hawks on Saturday. Despite that stat line, Brunson has been extremely effective distributing the ball at home, recording seven assists in both of his home tilts against Atlanta thus far in the NBA Playoffs. He also averaged 3.3 rebounds per game during the regular season, and SportsLine’s model is projecting he’ll finish with 10.6 rebounds + assists on average tonight.

Fox led all scorers with 28 points in San Antonio’s 114-93 victory over the Trail Blazers on Sunday. The veteran guard is now averaging 20 points per game against Portland this postseason, and he’s knocking down 40% of his shots from 3-point range in this series. SportsLine’s model expects San Antonio’s point guard to continue his high offensive production, predicting he’ll finish with 19.8 points on average.
