NBA Props Picks for Friday: Collin Murray-Boyles Toronto Raptors OVER 11.5 Points (-116) 

The Toronto Raptors have utilized Collin Murray-Boyles while going small and he’s has covered this line in 4 of the first 5 games of this series while averaging 15.2 points on 9.8 field goal attempts across 25.4 minutes per game.

When Murray-Boyles has recorded 8+ field goal attempts, he’s cleared this line in 16/22 games while averaging 14.1 points per game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the 3rd most points in the restricted area during the postseason and that area accounts for 76% of his scoring.

Immanuel Quickley remains on the shelf with a hamstring injury and CMB has gone over this number in 8 of his last 9 games without him on the court.

Now Brandon Ingram has popped up on the injury report as he’s listed as doubtful with a heel injury. If Ingram sits, Murray-Boyles will see even more volume & usage, and he’s already proven the ability to beat this line against Cleveland. 

NBA Props Picks for Friday: Rui Hachimura Los Angeles Lakers OVER 11.5 Points (-121)

Rui Hachimura has gone over this line in a perfect 5/5 games in this series while scoring 12, 13 (twice), 22 & 14 points while averaging 11 field goal attempts across an average of 39.2 minutes per game.

Hachimura has thrived when logging 32+ minutes as he’s covered this line in 23/25 games while averaging 15.4 points per game.

Luka Doncic remains on the shelf due to an injury and Hachimura has scored 12+ points in an outstanding 20/22 games (91%) without him on the court.

Hachimura has been very consistent when seeing plenty of volume as he’s cleared this line in 36/42 games (86%) when taking 9+ shots from the floor while averaging 15 points per game.

This is a closeout game for the Lakers with a spread of only -3.5 so Hachimura should continue to see plenty of minutes & volume leading to another 12+ points.
