Last Heat/Celtics game we went 1-3, but it was not a normal 1Q for either team, finishing 39-18 for the Heat over the Celtics. I’m running a few of those plays back plus a new one tonight.
I’ve been adding Jimmy Butler 1+ steal to 75% of my SGPs for the Heat in the playoffs and it hasn’t failed me yet. Butler has a steal in every playoff game this season. He also has 2+ 1Q rebounds in 5 straight games and in 10/13 playoff games. PJ Tucker and Jayson Tatum have also been consistent in 1Q rebounding in the playoffs. PJ has 2, 4, and 2 1Q rebounds in the series so far and Tatum has a 1Q rebound in every playoff game except for the last game when the Heat put up 39 1Q points and Tatum only played 7 1Q minutes.
Max Strus has been a part of the Heat’s playoff success and I expect his consistent 3 point shooting to continue tonight. Strus has 2+ threes in 12/14 playoff games and 2+ in 8 straight. Strus also has 1+ 1Q rebound in 12/14 playoff games, including 2+ 1Q boards in 5 of his last 6.
