Show Bio

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

NBA player prop: Isaiah Stewart (DET) over 3.5 points (+100)

Isaiah Steward is coming into Game 6 after his best scoring performance of the series, managing 8 points in Game 5. The Pistons outscored the Cavaliers by 12 points during his time on the floor in that game. With the season on the line, it would not be surprising to see him earn more playing time here. Stewart comes in off the bench for Jalen Duren, who has really struggled this postseason. He is averaging just 9.4 points and 6.6 rebounds through the 5 games in this series and was a -16 on the floor in the last game. Do not be surprised to see him pulled for Stewart early if he does not show signs of improvement. The backup has managed to score 4 or more points in 4 of the 5 games in this series and should be well positioned to keep that going here.

NBA player prop: Anthony Edwards (MIN) over 26.5 points (+100)

With the Timberwolves’ backs against the wall, expect Anthony Edwards to take responsibility and put the team on his shoulders. He did that in the 2 games played in Minnesota in this series, managing 32 and 36 points in those contests, respectively. They were also the only games in the series in which he managed to attempt 20 or more field goal attempts. You would have to go back to January to find a game in which Edwards attempted that many shots and did not score 30 points. He has had success from deep too, shooting 40% from range against the Spurs in this series. It should keep him out of the clutches of Victor Wembanyama and allow him to rack up points tonight.
