3 Best NBA Prop Bets for Bucks vs. Celtics Game 7 (Trust Giannis Antetokounmpo to Go Off)

Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Jayson Tatum in a winner-take-all game on Sunday? 

Basketball Gods, you’ve outdone yourselves. 

The Boston Celtics are five-point favorites in Game 7 at home against the Milwaukee Bucks, and I gave out my best bet for this game in my NBA Best Bets column earlier today. 

But what about some props?

Here are three at WynnBET Sportsbook that you should consider betting on Sunday:

Best Prop Bets for Bucks vs. Celtics Game 7

• Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 35.5 Points (-105)
• Marcus Smart UNDER 6.5 Assists (-135)
• Al Horford 2+ 3-Pointers Made (-164)

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 35.5 Points (-105)

The Bucks are going to need a heroic performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo if they want any chance of winning Game 7, and he’s been up to the task in his previous closeout games in his career. 

Boston forced Giannis into some tough shooting games early in the series, but he has scored 42, 34. 40 and 44 points in the last four games in this series. 

The Celtics may throw everything they can at Antetokounmpo, but the two-time MVP is simply too good. This is a massive number, but there’s now way Giannis doesn’t come out gunning from the start with the series on the line. 

Marcus Smart UNDER 6.5 Assists (-135)

Marcus Smart has been solid in this series for the Celtics, but he has failed to clear 6.5 assists in six of his nine games this postseason. 

Smart picked up seven dimes in Game 6, so this isn’t an impossible prop for him to hit the over. However, he’s actually averaging less than five assists per game in this series (24 in five games). 

I think a lower-scoring game (the total is at 206.5) and the fact that it is Game 7 will lead to fewer opportunities to create for his teammates with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown likely touching the ball even more than usual. 

Al Horford 2+ 3-Pointers Made (-164)

There’s quite a bit of juice on this prop, but I think this is a bounce-back spot for Horford, who has gone 0-for-6 from beyond the arc in his last two games. 

Prior to that stretch, Horford had made two or more shots from deep in six of his eight playoff games. Horford is going to play a ton of minutes, so I think the shots will be there for him, and I like that we can get this prop at 2+ rather than 3+ on Sunday.
