Two series could end tonight, though that would require one double-digit upset. The more intriguing wonder is if the Orlando Magic can take a firm grasp of their first-round series with the Detroit Pistons. It is always intriguing when a No. 1 seed may be on the ropes in the first round.

Prop #1: Jalen Suggs Over 2.5 threes
+122 at bet365
Simply enough, Jalen Suggs has hit at least three 3-pointers in each game of this series. One can safely assume this is part of the Orlando Magic’s game plan.
Suggs averaged 6.3 attempted shots from beyond the arc per game this regular season. And now he has taken 28 through three games in the playoffs. That is not by accident.
As long as Suggs is shooting this often, even his middling rate should yield a few triples. Hitting 33.9% this season from deep is not astounding, but if he is taking 8+ per game, then it is more likely than not that Suggs will hit at least three.

Prop #2: Dillon Brooks 20+ points
+100 at bet365
Again, simply enough, Dillon Brooks has scored 30+ points in his last two games while averaging 27 in this series. One can very much assume this has been the Oklahoma City Thunder’s defensive game plan.
The Thunder know they will not lose this series because Brooks scored too many points, so they are content to let him shoot. He has taken at least 21 shots in each game after averaging 17.1 per game in the regular season.
Brooks attempted 21+ shots in only 26.8% of his games this year; doing so in three straight postseason games is no accident.
