Alex Caruso under 14.5 points, rebounds and assists (-110)

Julius Randle under 10.5 total assists and rebounds (+105)
While Randle's scoring has been up-and-down in this series — two games of at least 24 points and two games of six or fewer — his combined rebounds and assists numbers have been rock-steady between seven and 10 in all four games. This continues his trend for the playoffs as a whole, Randle has been under 10.5 total A+R in 11 of his 14 playoff games, including all four against the Thunder. When he's gone over, he's gone way over (17.7 P+R average in those three games), but he's been under in 79% of his playoff games. — Snellings
