MIAMI HEAT VS. BOSTON CELTICS PREDICTION
I am targeting Jaylen Brown assists in Game 5. Boston will be without Kristaps Porzingis for the foreseeable future, and that will mean Brown should see a slight increase in overall usage rate (28.6% -> 30.3%).
Brown has gone over 2.5 assists in 15/19 games this season with Porzingis out of the lineup avg 3.7 assists per game.
Brown has gone for 3+ assists in 67% of playoff games dating back to last season, and has not gone under in back-to-back games.
He went for just two assists in Game 4, but was unlucky as he had seven potential assists. With Boston back at home and favored by 14 points in the closeout game, I expect Brown should be able to clear this line.
