The Utah Jazz head to Beantown tonight to take on the Boston Celtics in primetime action. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Jazz vs. Celtics

  • Marcus Smart 18+ Points + Assists (-154)
  • Jaylen Brown 30+ Points + Rebounds (+105)
  • Robert Williams III 2+ Blocked Shots (-135)

Marcus Smart 18+ Points + Assists (-154)

Smart has been in a slight scoring slump since late last week. But he has also been dealing with an illness that finally kept him out of the lineup on Monday night. With a few extra days to rest, I am willing to bet that Smart picks up where he left off at the start of last week. Even with a weak showing in two games, Smart is averaging 14.6 points and 7.4 assists per game -- more than enough to cash this prop easily. When Smart plays 30+ minutes, he's cleared this line in eight straight games. Let’s hope whatever ailed him has left. 

Jaylen Brown 30+ Points + Rebounds (+105)

Brown continues to shine for the Celtics as the season begins to wind down. He is averaging 20.6 points and 4.7 rebounds per game this month. While that may not seem all that great, those numbers are a little skewed due to a two-point game against the Hawks where Brown played just three minutes. Take that game out of the equation and Brown’s average jumps to 22.8 PPG and 6.1 RPG. 

Either way, Brown has upped his scoring output lately and cashed this prop twice in three games with just scoring alone. The Jazz have a good defense, but I think Brown finds just enough space to cash this prop for us. 

Robert Williams III 2+ Blocked Shots (-135)

Like Smart, Williams took a seat on Monday night to rest a sore knee that has been bothering him. Unlike Smart, his nagging pain didn’t seem to have much of a negative impact on the Celtics center. In particular, Williams continued to serve as an elite shot-blocker for Boston. He is averaging 2.2 stuffs per game in March and has gone over this total in six of his last nine games.
