Will LeBron James get over his sore elbow and get back to being the dominant all-around player that he normally is or will the C’s bottle him up again?

Will Antawn Jamison and Mo Williams give ‘King James’ some much-needed help on offense or will Paul Pierce show up and deliver for Boston? All of these questions will be answered as I break down tonight’s props odds and offer up my expert NBA picks.

With tip-off time for tonight’s matchup just hours away, let me get started.

LeBron James Total Points, rebounds and Assists
Over 48½ Pts+Rebs+Assists -125
Under 48½ Pts+Rebs+Assists -105
Analysis: James is averaging a combined a combined 47.1 points, rebounds and assists through seven postseason games, but put up just 24 points, four assists and seven rebounds in Game 2 and I just don’t think Boston is going to be very generous in limiting James – again, tonight. Take the Under here for James and his bad elbow.
Expert NBA Free Picks: Under 48½ Pts+Rebs+Assists

Mo Williams Total Points and Assists
Over 19½ Pts+Assists -125
Under 19½ Pts+Assists -105
Analysis: Williams s averaging 20.2 combined points and assists this postseason, but has had to concentrate on stopping Boston’s blossoming point guard Rajon Rondo, that it has clearly taken away from his offense following a fine Game 1. Williams scored just four points in Game 2 on a dismal 1-for-9 shooting effort while dishing out seven assists. I’m going to pick Williams to also stay Under his set O/U total here as I expect LeBron James and Antawn Jamison will undoubtedly take more than the 15 and 11 shots they took respectively in Game 2.
Expert NBA Picks: Under 19½ Pts+Assists

Antawn Jamison Total Points
Over 15½ Pts -115
Under 15½ Pts -115
Analysis: Jamison scored 16 points in Game 2 on 6-for-11 shooting from the field after putting up just seven points in Game 1. The Cavaliers need Jamison to play and score the ball in the worst way like the all-star caliber player that he has been throughout the course of his career. I like the veteran to reach 16 points again in Game 3 tonight.
Expert NBA Picks: Over 15½ Pts

Paul Pierce Total Points
Over 18½ Pts -105
Under 18½ Pts -125
Analysis: With the continued emergence of lightning-fast point guard Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce scored just 13 points in Game 1 and 14 points in Game 2, far below his regular season average of 18.3 points per contest. Pierce is long overdue for a breakout scoring game ad with the Celtics back at home, I think ‘The Truth’ reaches 19 points at the very least. Play the Over here NBA gamblers.
