Danny Granger 17 points
OVER. Granger finally showed up in game 4, after scoring just 18 points in games one and two combined, and managing 17 in game 3. He needs to get up a good number of shots to do it, because he’s shooting only 39% in the playoffs this year so far, but has attempted 20 or more shots 4 times already. I suspect he does get the shots and puts up about 20.
Danny Granger Rebs + Asts 8
Leave this one. He’s been consistently at 8 for most of the Playoffs, or thereabouts.
Roy Hibbert 13 points
Hibbert has been wildly inconsistent, and it’s not entirely his fault. He shot only 6 times in game 2 and then attempted 16 the next game, before hitting the median of 9 last game. He’s either getting the shots or his teammates are ignoring him, and I don’t have a good feeling on this one either.
Roy Hibbert 10.5 rebs
OVER. He’s been 11 or more 3 of the 4 games in this series, that’s enough proof for me.
David West Pts + Rebs 23.5
UNDER. He’s been under the last two games, after being well over 23.5 combined its + rebs in games one and two. I don’t see why the trend would end tonight on the road.
LeBron James 31 points
OVER. LeBron has scored 32, 28, 22, and 40 in the four games so far this series. The 40 was his highest this year, and he shot 27 times, hitting 14, while attempting no threes at all. If he stays focused and plays off the energy of the home crowd, he could have a big night. This is the kind of stage LBJ needs to step up on.
LeBron James Rebs + Asts 15.5
OVER. After totaling 18 points and 9 assists in game 4 and 15 rebound and 5 assists in game one, I think we can overlook the two short comings in games 2 & 3. I think LeBron goes bonkers tonight, plain and simple.
Dwyane Wade 25 pts
Which Wade will show up tonight? The Wade of game three that scored a mere five points, or the Wade that put up 30 last game. I don’t know either. Let’s leave this one alone.
Dwyane Wade rebs + asts 9.5
I like the UNDER here simply for the fact that Wade hasn’t been picking up the assists, and if you throw out last game’s 9 rebound performance, he has averaged only 3.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs as well.
