Nikola Vucevic (BOS) – Over Points + Rebounds

Vucevic was able to make a return from his finger injury shortly before the end of the regular season, playing in four games and looking much more like himself in the final two contests after apparently shaking off some rust. The floor-spacing veteran averaged 12.0 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 64.3 percent, including 55.6 percent from behind the arc, in the last pair of contests, and he logged between 19 and 24 minutes in his last three games overall.

Vucevic should be in for a 20-25-minute workload off the bench as the Celtics’ playoff journey begins, as the veteran center can certainly make key contributions as both a scorer and rebounder while the likes of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum get a breather. The 13.5 PR number is typically a very achievable one for Vucevic, who went for 23 points + rebounds against the Sixers in 21 minutes off the bench during a 114-98 Celtics win on March 1 and averaged 22.0 points + rebounds across 27.0 minutes in three games against Philadelphia overall.

Jalen Williams (OKC) – Over Points + Rebounds + Assists

Williams struggled with injuries throughout the season, but he was still a rock-solid source of complementary production when on the floor. The talented wing averaged 27.2 points + rebounds + assists per game on the season, shooting 48.4 percent for the second straight season. Williams had a productive finish to the campaign before sitting out the last two games for injury management, as he went 4-3 to the 27.5 number in his last seven contests and shot an even more efficient 50.6 percent during that stretch.

Williams also had a productive body of work against the Suns during the regular season, averaging 29.9 points + rebounds + assists across 26.5 minutes over four games while shooting a blistering 62.2 percent, including 62.5 percent from behind the arc. Then, no team has surrendered more production to small forwards over the last seven games than the Suns, which have given up 27.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists per contest to the position over that span. Phoenix’s perimeter defense has also shown plenty of cracks recently, yielding 15.3 made threes per contest in the last three games.

Franz Wagner (ORL) – Over Points + Rebounds + Assists

Wagner is yet another key asset to his team that endured lengthy absences this season. In the fourth-year pro’s case, an ankle injury felled him for extended stretches, but he was able to suit up for the final six games of the regular season and the two Play-In Tournament games, averaging 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 22.8 minutes per contest. Wagner had notably upped his playing time to 26 and 29 minutes in the two games immediately preceding the blowout win over the Hornets for the No. 8 seed on Friday, which allowed Wagner to just log 25 minutes.

However, in what we assume will be a much more competitive game Sunday, Wagner could push for or exceed the 30-minute mark. That would make this 24.5 number very much within his range of outcomes, especially considering Wagner averaged 30.0 points + rebounds + assists across 34.5 minutes in two games against the Pistons during the regular season, a sample in which he drained 42.5% of his three-point attempts. While Detroit presents a tough defensive matchup overall, Wagner has gone 3-1 to this prop in the last four games and could stay hot with the extra playing time.
