VJ Edgecombe (PHI) – Over Points + Rebounds
Edgecombe saw a significant downturn in Game 4, a blowout loss to the Celtics that also marked the series debut of Joel Embiid. The rookie’s usage naturally took a hit, but Edgecombe’s nine shot attempts were still particularly low. Additionally, he managed to connect on only two of them, leading to a sparse tally of 10 points + rebounds.
However, Edgecombe did average 18.5 points + rebounds per 36 minutes during the regular season when sharing the floor with the big man, and Philly should be aggressive across the board Tuesday while trying to stave off elimination. Edgecombe averaged 25.4 points + rebounds over the first three games of the series with Embiid sidelined, and he checked in at 25 points + rebounds across 39.3 minutes per contest in four regular-season games against Boston, clearing this prop in three of those contests.

OG Anunoby (NYK) – Over Points + Rebounds
Anunoby has been about as dependable as they come in his matchups against the Hawks since the start of the regular season, as he’s now averaging 28.5 points + rebounds across 37.6 minutes in seven matchups versus Atlanta. That includes a figure of 29.6 during the current series, and Anunoby is now 6-1 to this prop against the Hawks since the start of the campaign.
Anunoby has put up 16 shot attempts apiece in the last two games after starting the series with just nine in each of the first two games. The star forward is draining them at an impressive 56.0% clip, including 52.4% from behind the arc. Anunoby is also bringing down a solid 57.4% of his elevated 15.3 rebounding chances per game so far during the series, boosting his prospects even as his line continues to creep up with each successful performance.

Jrue Holiday (POR) – Over Points + Rebounds + Assists
The Blazers blew a big lead at home in Game 4, but Holiday continued to be a bright spot for a Portland squad that’s now battling to remain alive and send the series back to Moda Center in Tuesday night’s Game 5. The veteran guard stuffed the stat sheet once again, posting 30 points + rebounds + assists across 37 minutes with the help of a 50.0% success rate from behind the arc. That followed an even more impressive first three games where Holiday averaged 31.3 points + rebounds + assists over 38.7 minutes per contest.
Portland will undoubtedly be going all out to try to and remain alive, and Holiday is already averaging 15.8 shot attempts per contest over the first four games. He’s also converting 56.8% of his 9.3 rebounding chances per game, and he’s recorded at least five boards and five assists on three occasions apiece over the first four contests. Holiday also posted 29 points + rebounds + assists in 31 minutes during his one regular-season meeting against the Spurs, furthering the case for this prop.
