3 Best NBA Prop Bets for Celtics vs. Heat Game 7 (Fade Jaylen Brown, Jimmy Butler Goes Off?)
By Peter Dewey
Who’s betting props in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals?
If you haven’t made your picks for the Boston Celtics-Miami Heat matchup, I have three player props from WynnBET that you should consider betting in this matchup:
Best NBA Prop Bets for Celtics vs. Heat Game 7
- Jaylen Brown UNDER 24.5 Points (-135)
- Derrick White OVER 8.5 Points (-125)
- Jimmy Butler 40+ Points, Rebounds and Assists (-130)
Jaylen Brown UNDER 24.5 Points (-135)
The total in Game 7 is set at just 196, so that means we’re going to see some players go under their player props for points.
Jaylen Brown is my favorite UNDER bet, as he’s cleared 24.5 points in just three of his last 10 games and only five times in 17 playoff games.
Even when Brown has played well this postseason, he’s more likely to go under this number. I think he definitely does in a low total Game 7.
Derrick White OVER 8.5 Points (-125)
Derrick White has been on fire since Game 4, and he’s done it by being more aggressive.
Derrick White said this morning we wanted to play more aggressive. That strategy obviously worked out.

White took just four shots in Game 1 and two shots in Game 3, but since then he has taken 14, eight and 14 shots in the last three games. Over that three-game stretch, White has scored 22, 14 and 13 points.
If you look at White’s playoff game logs, he’s scored nine or more points in nine of his last 13 games, and if he continues to see an uptick in usage, he’s going to clear this line easily.
The total for this game is really low, as most NBA Game 7s are, but White should see around 30 minutes since the Celtics play such a short rotation as it is.
Jimmy Butler 40+ Points, Rebounds and Assists (-130)
If the Heat have any chance at winning Game 7, it’s going to be on the back of Jimmy Butler.
Butler poured in 47 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in Game 6, and I think he comes out just as aggressive tonight with a trip to the Finals on the line.
Even though his knee injury significantly limited him in Games 3-5 of this series, Butler has still cleared 40-plus PRA in five of his last 10 playoff games.
I think the Celtics defense makes things tough, but Butler will do it all for Miami in the biggest game of the season.
