LAC James Harden OVER 20.5 Points (-104) vs. Dallas Mavericks

• Harden was disappointing in Game 5, scoring just seven points on 2-of-12 shooting. Nevertheless, I’m returning to the well in what I think will be a bounce-back effort with LA’s season on the line.
• Before Game 5’s showing, Harden had scored at least 21 points in four straight games, including a 33-point effort in Game 4. 
• Harden will continue to see an increased role offensively with Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out for a third straight game.

ORL Franz Wagner OVER 1.5 Made Threes (+112) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

• Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner shot 1-of-6 from downtown in Game 5, but the volume is encouraging.
• Wagner has knocked down at least two triples in three of the series’ five games, offering great value at plus money.
