## 🚨 Late Breaking Plays ### Orlando Magic at Detroit Pistons **Side:** Paolo Banchero: 20+ points | **Units:** 1.0 | **Label:** Lead Play Why: Our model identifies value in Banchero’s 20-point floor (58% implied probability) as he maintains a high-usage role, recently averaging 24.0 points over his first two postseason starts. Despite Detroit’s interior health, Banchero’s current form—highlighted by a 21-point performance on April 22—demonstrates his ability to reach this threshold even against high-pressure defenses.

### Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder **Side:** Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 30+ points | **Units:** 1.0 | **Label:** Value Why: SGA enters Game 2 of the Western Conference first round following a 25-point performance in just 29 minutes during the Game 1 blowout, where he showcased his elite foul-drawing ability with 17 free-throw attempts. With Suns center Mark Williams sidelined in a walking boot, Phoenix lacks the interior presence to contain Gilgeous-Alexander’s relentless rim pressure, positioning the 31.1 PPG regular-season scoring leader to surpass the 30-point mark as the series intensity ramps up.

### New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox **Side:** Aaron Judge: 1+ home runs? | **Units:** 0.5 | **Label:** Speculative Why: We are backing Judge to find the seats at Fenway, leveraging his 0.077 HR/PA rate against a Red Sox rotation currently missing Crawford, Sandoval, and the recently sidelined Sonny Gray. Judge enters today with 9 home runs—second-most in the league—and matches up against lefty Ranger Suárez in a park built for his power profile. With Boston's pitching depth exhausted by recent setbacks and Judge in peak form, this matchup offers massive upside.
