NBA: Ty Jerome (Cavaliers) OVER 14.5 Points
Good morning, #PropNation!! Monday night was truly historic. We went 3-1 on free props but more importantly 10-0, I repeat that 10-0 on the VIP card!! Not many cappers can truly pull of 10-0 in one night and I'm truly grateful for the trust you all put in me! A 4-0 sweep in the MLB and a 6-0 sweep in the NBA. Head down mentality we find more value in tonight’s card, tipping off with Pacers vs Cavaliers Game 2. The books are projecting an over for one of the best 6th men in the NBA, Ty Jerome. He was one of the lone bright spots for the Cavs in Game 1, dropping 21 points. The key for me there was his incredible usage rate and the fact that he shot TWENTY times. That’s a ton of looks for a guy off the bench. Jerome has shown he’s not afraid of the moment, averaging 16.3 PPG so far in the postseason. And this is clearly a matchup he likes because he put up 24 points in the one regular season game against the Pacers as well, where he had 16 shot attempts. Jerome should get to his number tonight, which has great line functionality. Lock in Ty Jerome OVER 14.5 Points for the first free winner!
NBA: Julius Randle (Timberwolves) OVER 20.5 Points
In the Western Conference the Timberwolves open their series against the Warriors who are coming off a big Game 7 win on the road. While all eyes are on Ant man, I expect Julius Randle to continue his postseason consistent dominance in 2025. Steve Kerr is going to have a gameplan to slow down Edwards while Randle feasts in the post on mismatches. Randle averaged 22.6 points per game in the opening round against the Lakers, showing good ability to get to the line and be efficient. LA had a small lineup for most of that series, lacking interior presence and the same can be said for Golden State a lot of the time. The books also show an expected over here, posting Randle’s line above his season average at O/U 20.5, despite him only averaging 15.8 PPG this season against the Warriors. We don’t blink at those splits and ride the hot hand with plenty of opportunities on offense tonight. Take Julius Randle OVER 20.5 Points!
MLB: Alex Bregman (Red Sox) OVER 1.5 Hits, Runs, & RBIs
We swing over to Major League Baseball to close things out on the free play slate! I like Alex Bregman’s matchup tonight at Fenway going against Nathan Eovaldi. Despite Eovaldi having a great start to his 2025 campaign, the books expect a higher scoring game based on the total and have Boston competing in this one. Bregman historically sees the ball well against Eovaldi as he’s 10 for 32 (.312) with 2 home runs against him. Plus, the key is batting in the 3-hole for this Boston offense which is providing him with constant at-bats with RISP. Duran and Devers are as good of a 1-2 punch as you’ll find in the big leagues. Bregman is hitting .317 on the year with 8 homers and 27 RBIs. He’s having a great first season in Boston and I look for that to continue tonight. Take Alex Bregman OVER 1.5 Hits, Runs, & RBIs on the combo stat line. Did you say sweep?? Why not, let’s smoke them again tonight! Love and appreciate all of you, positive vibes always.
