Domantas Sabonis won't have to deal with Draymond Green in Game 3, but he will have to deal with a larger Warriors front line and their renewed focus on boxing out, which CoversJLo's NBA picks see hurting his bottom line.
The Game 3 Over/Under opened at 238.5 points with the series swinging back to San Francisco. But with Green’s absence taking a major cog out of the Golden State defense, as well as defenders like Wiggins and Payton questionable, this total has ticked up to 240.5 points as of Thursday afternoon.action reports, the handle on tonight’s total is relatively split, but 70% of the tickets are taking the Under.
Game 2 boasted a pace rating of 103.0, which was a tick slower than the Game 1 tempo of 105.5, but the downtick in scoring was due to both teams unable to make from beyond the arc. The Kings were also shaky offensively, making nine of their 38 shots from distance. But they made up for that lack of long-range pop with 25 points off turnovers and got 36 points from the reserves. That scoring depth has played a big role in the first two games and will be even more important tonight if the Dubs run shorthanded.
