1u – Payton Pritchard (BOS) o2.5 1Q Points (-150 @ ESPN)

 

I’m perfectly happy going back to this bet. Pritchard has hit this prop in every game of the series and should see a usage bump with the recent injury news regarding Tatum. This season we have seen Pritchard hit this prop in 15/18 games without Tatum. Pritchard shoots 68% of his field goal attempts from three point land, this can very easily cash with just one made shot. I think Pritchard enters the game sooner than he did last game and he could very easily see himself play 6+ minutes in the opening quarter. This game is at home where Pritchard has better splits as well. The juice doesn’t bother me here as we have won 8 straight NBA plays, lets hope this bet makes it 9!
