Gabe Vincent Under 12.5 Points (-125)

Gabe Vincent has been outstanding in the postseason, and he's coming off one of the best nights of his career in a 29-point outburst in Game 3.

But I like the under on his points prop today.

Vincent is shooting 38.0% from three in the playoffs and taking 10.9 shots per game via a 19.0% usage rate. Those are all up from what he did during the regular season. In the regular season, Vincent sunk 33.4% of his shots from deep and took 8.3 shots per night on a 17.5% usage rate.

He's been particularly lights out versus the Boston Celtics, making 55.6% of his threes en route to 17.7 points per night. That just can't last.

Even with the silly-good shooting numbers in this series and the uptick in production in the postseason as a whole, Vincent is netting just 12.9 points per game. He's definitely getting huge minutes -- at least 35 in all three games against Boston -- but he likely needs to keep up his red-hot shooting to get to 13-plus points. I'm betting against that happening, and our model is, too, projecting Vincent for 11.6 points.

Malcolm Brogdon Over 1.5 Made Threes (-160)

Malcolm Brogdon has been cold the last two games (1 for 8 from three), but I'm jumping at the chance to take the over with his three-point prop at 1.5.

During this season's playoffs, Brogdon is averaging 2.1 made threes per night on 5.1 attempts from beyond the arc. That's mostly backed up by his regular-season averages of 2.0 makes on 4.4 three-point shots per game, and his postseason three-point percentage of 40.7% is actually down a bit from his 44.4% clip from the regular season.

In the regular season, the Miami Heat allowed the second-highest three-point attempt rate (43.0%). That's one of the few things from Miami's regular season that has carried over into the postseason as the Heat are permitting the third-highest three-point attempt rate in the playoffs (43.7%). Boston, on the other hand, took the second-most threes per night in the regular season (42.6).

Before the past two games, Brogdon had hit multiple threes in seven of his last eight outings. I think he gets back on track in a must-win Game 4.
