We have Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals going down tonight, Saturday, May 25th.
The Boston Celtics basically stole Game 1 away from the Indiana Pacers and absolutely dominated Game 2. Boston has been great on the road this postseason but the Pacers haven’t lost a game at home this postseason. The status of Tyrese Haliburton might change that, however.
This means there are plenty of routes to attack our Underdog Fantasy NBA picks today!
NBA Underdog Fantasy Picks Today, 5/25
There are a lot of great spots on the slate, but the three I’m targeting are T.J. McConnell of the Indiana Pacers and Jrue Holiday and Al Horford of the Boston Celtics.
Let’s dive into our top Underdog Fantasy NBA picks of the day!
Jrue Holiday Underdog NBA Pick: Higher Than 5.5 Assists
*Author’s note* - Jrue Holiday has been downgraded to QUESTIONABLE with a non-COVID related illness.
Through the first two games it’s clear as day that Jrue Holiday is facilitating the offense. He’s received the most passes per game and is third in making passes. He also leads the team with 12.5 potential assists per game, posting north of eight assists in each contest. Indiana is having a hard time guarding Boston and Holiday is exploiting that with his passing.
- Pick: Higher than 5.5 Assists (.9x)
Al Horford Underdog NBA Pick: Higher Than 7.5 Rebounds
There’s something to be said about the Celtics front-court depth without Kristaps Porzingis when Luke Kornet went down with an injury and we saw Oshae Brissett check in. He was great, don’t get me wrong, but the C’s are likely without Kornet again and will rely on Horford for big minutes again. Through two games in this series, Horford leads the team with 14 potential rebounds and is coming off 10 boards last time out.
- Pick: Higher than 7.5 Rebounds (1.05x)
T.J. McConnell Underdog NBA Pick: Higher Than 11.5 Points
The reporting from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is that there is real concern about Haliburton’s availability for the remainder of the series. He also said he’s going to try and play through, but trying doesn’t suggesting making it through much of the game. That means more McConnell and before this line balloons, take advantage of it. He had a 37% USG in Game 1 and a 25% USG in Game 1. He leads the team this postseason in usage rate despite coming off the bench.
- Pick: Higher than 11.5 Points
