EP Model 77% on Unders Yesterday, Two Overs Tonight at 96 & 94

Happy Monday, let's get this week started right.

The EP Model crushed unders last night, 77% overall, with rebounds grading 90+ hitting at 86%. Tonight we're riding two overs in playoff spots where the matchup and usage align perfectly: Booker at home in an elimination game against a defense that bleeds points to shooting guards, and Franz Wagner continuing his playoff surge against Detroit's sixth-worst SF defense. Full picks and tonight's watch list are in the app.

Devin Booker

OVER ↑

Booker dropped 23, 22, and 16 in the first three games of this series, briefly leaving Game 3 with an ankle tweak before returning minutes later. He's cleared to play tonight and we're projecting 28.5 against a 23.5 line — that's a +5.0 edge at 96 EP Score. Oklahoma City ranks 9th in defense against shooting guards but still allows 29.0 PPG to the position, and Booker's 32.5% usage rate with 58.4% true shooting means he's getting his looks. Phoenix is down 0-3, playing at home, and facing elimination. This is the spot where stars show up.

Franz Wagner
Over 26.5 P+R+A

OVER ↑

Wagner's averaging 30.4 P+R+A over his last five games and posted 28 combined in Game 1 of this series (19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists). We're projecting 28.3 for a +1.8 edge at 94 EP Score. Detroit allows 33.7 P+R+A to small forwards and ranks 6th-easiest defensively against the position — Wagner's been the primary offensive engine for Orlando in this playoff run, and he's finally looking comfortable after working through that ankle injury earlier. He played 32 minutes in Game 1 and should see similar run tonight with Orlando up 1-0 and controlling the series tempo.

Key Context

Both plays are home favorites in playoff games where usage and role are locked in. Booker’s ankle scare appears minor based on his immediate return in Game 3, and Wagner’s minutes restriction is behind him. The model’s confidence on both stems from defensive matchup data — OKC and Detroit both rank bottom-10 against these positions.
