Day 1 of the postseason did not disappoint. The Knicks vs Cavaliers game was a thriller which was followed by arguably the game of the year between the Kings and Warriors. Day 2 kick off which what should be a dogfight between the Lakers and Grizzlies.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) Over 11.5 rebounds (-130)
Line available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
Giannis Antetokounmpo comes in today as arguably the best player in basketball. He led the Milwaukee Bucks to the best record in the league and has championship number 2 on his mind. It all starts today against the feisty Miami Heat, who squeaked through the play-in tournament.
Antetokounmpo led the league in defensive rebounds per game at 9.6 due to the matchups head coach Mike Budenholzer puts in place. If Miami wants to go small with Butler at the power forward position, Brook Lopez may not have much time on the floor. Antetokounmpo should see time at the 5 and dominate inside against Bam Adebayo. He’ll have plenty of chances underneath to snag rebounds and push the break for the Bucks.
In last season’s playoffs, Antetokounmpo eclipsed this line in 8 of 12 games. He averaged 37 minutes during their playoff run and the Bucks rotation is expected to be much tighter come today. In the regular season when he played at least 35 minutes, he went over this line in 16 of 25 games.

Jamal Murray (DEN) 4+ rebounds/Michael Porter Jr. 10+ points Same Game Parlay (-133)
Line available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Jamal Murray has been waiting for this moment for years. He hasn’t played in a playoff game since the Western Conference Finals back in the bubble. He missed out on last year’s 1st-round exit with the Golden State Warriors winning in 5 games. Murray will come ready to ball out in what will be a fast-paced game. He isn’t known to stuff the stat sheet but when playing big minutes, he can impact the game in a multitude of ways. When playing at least 32 minutes this season, he has pulled down at least 4 rebounds in 28 of 42 games.
With the Timberwolves playing at a rapid pace, guards have plenty of opportunities to crash the glass. They allowed the 3rd-most rebounds to the point-guard position during the regular season but have been better as of late. It will be interesting to see the Timberwolves’ rotation with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns healthy, but this line is a rebound too low.
Michael Porter Jr. has been sensational when teamed up with Nikola Jokic on the floor. He has scored at least 10 points in 90% of the games the 2 have played together. Expect a high-volume Porter to be the X-factor during the Nuggets’ playoff run.
