The Boston Celtics need a win in Game 4 to avoid a 3-1 series deficit against the Milwaukee Bucks. 

While I think there’s a chance Boston evens the series as a one-point dog at WynnBET, there may be more value in betting a few player props tonight. 

Let’s get into some of my favorites for Game 4. 

Best Prop Bets for Celtics vs. Bucks Game 4

  • Jayson Tatum OVER 28.5 Points (-115)
  • Bobby Portis OVER 11.5 Points (-120)
  • Grant Williams to Make 2+ 3-Pointers (-120)

Jayson Tatum OVER 28.5 Points (-115)

Jayson Tatum was locked up in Game 3 by Wesley Matthews, shooting 0-for-10 when guarded by Matthews, but I think he’s due for a bounce-back game tonight. 

In seven playoff games this year, Tatum has cleared 28.5 points four times, and I think the Celtics will rely on him heavily to avoid falling behind 3-1 in the series. This isn’t a lock, but Tatum has been strong after a down game in the past. 

Bobby Portis OVER 11.5 Points (-120)

Bobby Portis scored just nine points on 3-of-9 shooting in Game 3, as he came off the bench but still played 25 minutes. 

Portis had cleared this line in five straight before his nine-point Game 3, so I think we’re getting a major discount on him here. 

Had Portis’ minutes slipped in a bench role I would have stayed away, but he has played 32, 26 and 25 minutes in each game in this series. Back Bobby P to hit the OVER. 

Grant Williams to Make 2+ 3-Pointers (-120)

Grant Williams has taken three or more shots from beyond the arc in every playoff game this postseason, and he’s been solid against the Bucks from deep, hitting 9-of-19 shots from beyond the arc. 

Williams did go 1-for-6 in Game 3, but I think he gets back on track, along with the rest of the Celtics offense in this game. 

Prior to Game 2, this prop was at plus money, but I don’t mind the -120 juice on Williams to find the range twice tonight.
