High Confidence Parlay: +263 | 0.6u We just cashed yesterday’s HCP and the BOTD heater is still rolling, so we’re firing again with a 2‑legger. Victor Wembanyama UNDER 43.5 PRA Minnesota’s front line just held Wemby to 11 points in a game where he had to work for everything, and books are still hanging a ceiling line in the mid‑40s PRA. Our model has him several ticks lower in a slow, physical playoff environment where Gobert and that Wolves defense are built to make him a passer and shot‑blocker more than a volume scorer. Ayo Dosunmu OVER 17.5 PRA Dosunmu has given the Wolves real juice as a secondary creator, averaging mid‑teens in points alone with efficient shooting and steady usage since the trade. At a modest 17.5 PRA line, our projection has him clearing this on his usual minutes and aggression attacking a Spurs defense that has bled guard production all year. Back to the well with another HCP after yesterday’s cash. Tag us if you’re riding with this one tonight.

High Confidence Parlay 🔒 | 0.5u We do not throw HCPs out every night. PRA has been hot for us, and these three spots all grade out well on the model and make sense when you look at how these teams actually want to play. Victor Wembanyama UNDER 42.5 PRA This is a “welcome to playoff game‑planning” spot for Wemby. Minnesota has the size and discipline to load up on him, crowd the paint, and make other Spurs beat them, which is not the recipe you want when you are holding a huge PRA number. Tobias Harris OVER 25.5 PRA Detroit treats Harris like a real secondary option now, not just a floor spacer. He is getting mid‑post touches, working the glass, and soaking up usage whenever defenses tilt toward Cade, and that profile travels nicely into a slower, half‑court Cavs series. Marcus Smart OVER 14.5 PRA Against OKC, the Lakers need another adult with the ball when defenses load up on LeBron. Smart fits that perfectly: playoff minutes, on‑ball reps, and enough shots and playmaking chances that a mid‑teens PRA looks very reachable if he leans into that role. 0.5 units on the parlay. PRA has been one of the sharpest parts of the model lately, so when three of them line up like this, we are happy to let them ride together.

BOTD | Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander UNDER 43.5 PRA (-116) | 2u Our model has Shai in the low‑30s PRA tonight, giving us a solid cushion under a 43.5 line in a Game 1 that should slow down and tighten up. It is still a big ask for him to hit the high end of his range right away in this matchup. The Lakers have been defending at a high level, sitting around that 106–107 defensive‑rating pocket over their recent stretch and holding teams under 100 multiple times in the first round. They are built to load up on the primary creator, shrink driving lanes, and force Thunder role players to make shots instead of letting Shai live in the paint all night. In their recent meetings with this Lakers core, Shai has stayed under this exact 43.5 mark, which fits the idea that this matchup puts more of a cap on the full PRA line than people want to admit. We are not fading Shai the player; we are fading a number that still needs a very clean scoring plus playmaking game to cash in a tough defensive spot. 2 units on SGA UNDER 43.5 PRA.
