Today's boosted NBA Playoffs parlay - Friday, May 8

For today's NBA parlay, we're taking one player in each game who lands their team's leader in these categories from the Dimers NBA Projections Hub: PTS, REB, AST and 3PM.

Pick 1: Karl-Anthony Towns (Knicks) o11.5 rebounds

Game: Knicks vs. 76ers

First up is Karl-Anthony Towns, his team and the full game's top-projected rebounder at 12.0.

Towns has 10 and 6 boards through two games of this series, though has played only 20 and 27 minutes in those games. The 76ers are predicted to win tonight's game with a narrow 1.5-point spread, so this game projects to be more competitive and should see a full workload for KAT.

The Sixers have allowed the fourth-most rebounds in the playoffs, lining up Towns to cash in with his favorable projection tonight.

Pick 2: Tyrese Maxey (76ers) o24.5 points

Game: Knicks vs. 76ers

We move to the Sixers' side of things and back their top-projected scorer, Tyrese Maxey, to do just that and clear his line of 24.5 points.

Maxey gets a solid 26.4-point projection from the Dimers model in Game 3, highest in the game.

He's hit 25+ points in 6 of 9 playoff games so far and has played significant minutes, only going under 40 minutes in a pair of blowouts. As mentioned above, this projects to be a much closer game and the Sixers will need Maxey's best to avoid dropping their first home game of the series and falling into a 3-0 deficit.

Dimer's top-projected scorers in the NBA on Friday, May 8.

Pick 3: Stephon Castle (Spurs) o6.5 assists

Game: Spurs vs. Timberwolves

In the late game, it's Spurs guard Stephon Castle projected to lead the team in assists at 6.8, the highest for any player tonight.

That's just slightly over his line of 6.5, but owning the top mark across both games signals he has plenty of upside in Game 3.

Castle averaged 7.4 assists per game in the regular season, sixth-best in the NBA, and has hit this in two games in the playoffs, however, two of the misses were games without Victor Wembanyama, meaning he's 2-2 in games with a healthy Spurs squad.

Minnesota's defense has been solid, but has allowed 25.0 assists per game in the postseason, the fourth-highest mark.

Pick 3: Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves) o2.5 threes

Game: Spurs vs. Timberwolves

For our final leg, we'll look at Anthony Edwards who projects for the second-most threes made across tonight's two games at 2.5

That's right in line with his book line of 2.5, a lower mark than he's used to in the regular season. Ant-Man has hit 3 threes in only one game so far this postseason, though he's played in just 6 games, and seen 25 minutes or less in four straight as he's battled injuries.

Edwards should play more minutes as he gets further removed from his knee injury and will need to find his three-point shot to give the Wolves a chance. His deep ball is a key part of what makes him such a versatile scorer, which the Timberwolves need plenty of to hold their own against a dominant Spurs team.
