(O/U) 194.5

TV: TNT
Radio: Sirius 211 XM

With tip-off time just hours away, let me get started with my potentially profitable NBA Props Picks.

LeBron James Total Points
Over 31½ Pts -130
Under 31½ Pts Ev

Analysis: NBA gamblers should know this props pick is as close as it gets to a sure thing. James is averaging 30.9 points per game this postseason despite struggling against the Celtics with three games under 30 points, but I say the ‘King’ gets back to his high-flying ways tonight and tops the 31-point plateau with a monster game in what is undoubtedly Cleveland’s most important game this season.

NBA Expert Picks: Over 31½ Pts

Antawn Jamison Total Points and Rebounds
Over 22½ Pts+Rebs -130
Under 22½ Pts+Rebs Ev

Analysis: Jamison has been either hot or cold against Boston, but with the Cavaliers being back at home, I expect a solid game from Jamison at the very least. The all-star caliber forward is averaging 17.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in the postseason – and despite having his share of troubles this series, I like Jamison to top the set O/U total here.

NBA Expert Picks: Over 22½ Pts+Rebs

Shaquille O’Neal Total Points
Over 12½ Pts -105
Under 12½ Pts -125

Analysis: The big ‘Immovable Object’ is averaging a whopping 10.6 points per game and had a breakout game against Boston in Game 4, scoring 17 points to set a playoff high this postseason. O’Neal has topped 12 points on just one other occasion this postseason, in Game 5 against the Bulls in their first round series. Odds are, he’s not going over 12 points tonight.

NBA Expert Picks: Under 12½ Pts

Mo Williams Total Points and Assists
Over 19 Pts+Assists -105
Under 19 Pts+Assists -125

Analysis: After putting up 20 points and six assists in Game 1, Mo Williams has struggled mightily as he expends most of his energy trying to keep up with Boston’s blossoming Rajon Rondo. Williams hasn’t topped the set O/U total for this props pick in three straight games – but something tells me he gets it going after getting embarrassed by Rondo in a Game 4 performance for the ages.
