The NBA Finals resume tonight in Texas, and the Underdog NBA Picks board is giving us an excellent opportunity to cash on some sharp trends from Wednesday's opener. Instead of overcomplicating things, we are building our pick'em slip around the core on-court anchors whose high-volume roles are completely locked into tonight's tactical layout.

Victor Wembanyama NBA Underdog Pick: Higher Than 11.5 Rebounds

Wembanyama proved in Game 1 that he doesn't just protect the rim; he completely controls the glass. He hauled down 12 rebounds in the series opener while playing 38 minutes. Because the Knicks aren't going to stop playing their aggressive, physical style of basketball, the defensive rebound opportunities are going to be massive all evening. Wemby will be forced to play heavy minutes deep in the paint to secure possession, making the Higher an excellent play.

 

 

 

Josh Hart NBA Underdog Pick: Higher Than 4.5 Assists

Let's be honest: Josh Hart is essentially the multi-tool heartbeat of this New York rotation right now. He cleared this total easily on Wednesday night by dropping 6 assists across massive floor time. Because San Antonio is selling out to prevent Jalen Brunson from beating them single-handedly, Hart is constantly catching the ball in space with numbers. His high basketball IQ and rapid secondary decision-making ensure he clears this 4.5 line.
