Today's boosted NBA Playoffs parlay - Saturday, May 2

Pick 1: Jayson Tatum over 10.5 rebounds (+100)

What better place to start than with our top-projected player on the board?

Jayson Tatum gets a projection of 11.3 rebounds from the Dimers model, over his 10.5 line, a mark he's cleared in 4 of 6 games so far. He hit 11 in two of those and 14 and 16 in the others and has been crashing the boards ever since he returned near the end of the regular season.

Tatum left Game 6 early with leg stiffness after playing 29 minutes, but still pulled down 11 boards and is off the injury report for Saturday.

No one even projects within 3 full rebounds of Tatum tonight, setting him up to lead the way on the glass, and at +100 odds, this makes a great straight bet as well.

Pick 2: Joel Embiid over 4.5 assists (-188)

Next up, we'll go with the Sixers big man who returned in Game 4 and who's been instrumental in Philadelphia forcing Game 7.

Embiid has done a bit of everything, grabbing double-digit boards twice, scoring 26 and 33 points in two of his three games and notably, dishing out 6+ dimes in each of the three games he's played in this series, averaging 10/0 potential assists per game.

It's a small sample size for him as he hasn't even played in the full series, but he's been consistently involved as a passer and the Dimers model projects him for 5.1 assists tonight, clearing this line.

Pick 3: Over 205.5 total points (-107)

For the last leg of this parlay, we're moving to the game lines and Dimers' best bet in the game, over 205.5 total points.

This is the lowest total yet of the series and understandably so as teams tend to tighten things up defensively in Game 7 situations.

Game 6 was the first game to go under this particular number, with most totals in this series around 213.5 and it was largely due to the Celtics' lowest offensive output in the series so far. If Boston wants to win this game, and they do, they'll simply need to be better offensively. All three of their losses came with them failing to reach 100 points.

Dimers predicts a 53.4% probability of this game going over, giving us about a 2% edge at -107 odds on Novig, which makes this play land in one of our "Sweet Spots" as NBA totals have returned a 16.5% ROI across 50 similar bets at this edge.
