Game 5 NBA Finals Preview: Things are Shaking Up

It’s Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and the Dallas Mavericks are on a mission to embarrass the Boston Celtics once again. Boston is up 3-1, but Dallas just obliterated them by 40 points in Game 4 to keep their Larry O'Brien hopes alive. If there's any fan base that deserves to be on the receiving end of a historic 3-0 series collapse, it's those scumbags in Boston. Let’s dive into tonight's action and our picks to cash in.

Luka Doncic: The Slovenian Sniper

First up, Luka Doncic to score 30+ points. This guy has been an absolute beast, hitting the 30 mark in six of his last ten playoff games. The other four? He wasn’t far off, scoring 27, 28, and twice at 29. Tonight, Luka has to hit 30 to give Dallas a fighting chance. I’m betting he goes off like a firecracker in a fireworks factory. The Celtics defense might as well be made of wet tissue paper when it comes to containing Luka tonight.

Jaylen Brown: Dishing Dimes

Next, we’ve got Jaylen Brown to rack up 5+ assists. With Dallas doing everything to shut down Brown and Tatum from scoring big, the ball is going to be in Brown's hands a lot for quick dimes. He’s averaging 5 assists per game this series, and I like the odds of him hitting that number tonight. If he doesn’t, Boston will be in shambles in terms of getting the rock through the hoop.

Derrick Lively: Board Man Wins Games

Finally, we’re betting on Derrick Lively to grab 7+ rebounds. Lively has been a force on the boards this series, averaging just over 9 per game. Dallas needs to win the rebound battle to force a Game 6, and Lively is the man to make it happen. Expect him to be all over the glass like a fat kid on a cupcake.

The Perri Sports Hub Special

All three of these picks parlayed payout at 4.5-1. My brother has been giving out picks for the past four games, and let’s be honest, he’s been colder than the vibrant blue mountains on a frozen Coors Light. I’m taking over tonight to bring that success factor back to the Perri Sports Hub community. It’s time to turn things around and watch those bets hit harder than a fiend getting their crack fix, It'll literally hit like crack.

There you have it, It's no secret that I am rooting for Boston to choke and for their fan base to shut the fuck up. So, grab your drinks, get comfortable, and let’s watch Dallas destroy Boston one more time and witness the downward spiral of the Boston scumbags.

Stay tuned for more hot takes, fresh picks, and our signature rated-R humor. Game 5 is going to be a banger, and we’re here for all the action!
