If you're building player cards on the Chalkboard NBA Picks board tonight, success is all about identifying roles that are entirely dictated by postseason matchups. Game 1 gave us a massive amount of clarity regarding how both coaching staffs view their structural rotations. We are locking in on two major statistical adjustments for tonight's Game 2 slate.

Karl-Anthony Towns NBA Chalkboard Pick: Less Than 16.5 Points

Towns chipped in 18 points in Game 1, but he had a highly difficult time finding clean looks inside the arc against San Antonio's drop protection schemes. The Spurs completely take away clean straight-line drives, forcing Towns to settle for heavily contested perimeter jump shots or kick out to the wings. Expect San Antonio to double down on clogging his high-post looks tonight, lowering his pure scoring ceiling and making the Less a premium choice.

 

 

 

Dylan Harper NBA Chalkboard Pick: More Than 4.5 Rebounds

The rookie guard was one of the brightest spots on the floor for the Spurs in Game 1, playing with an incredible motor and snatching 8 total rebounds. The Spurs desperately want to push the pace to minimize New York's half-court defensive traps, and Harper is a vital piece of that early transition game. He is consistently flying in to clear the glass and ignite fast breaks, making the More a highly stable target.
