Jimmy Butler to Score 35+ Points (+260)
Nobody has impressed me so far in this postseason like Jimmy Butler. Playoff Jimmy is just on a different level than everyone else, the man just averaged 37.6 points on almost 60% efficiency from the field and 44.4% from three. He did all that averaging 37.2 minutes per game, which makes him arguably the most productive player in the Playoffs as well. Normally not a sound three-point shooter, Jimmy averaged 2.4 makes on 5.4 attempts per game as well. It's just impossible to find a flaw in his game right now and I say we ride the hot hand today at MSG as well. As the lights get brighter, Butler's games improves and what better place than the World's most famous arena to put on a show? Butler had 35 and 33 points in 2 of the 3 regular season meetings with the Knicks. After dealing with Jrue Holiday in Round 1, he should have an easier time vs defenders like Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and RJ Barrett.
