3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Warriors vs Celtics Game 4 (Bet on a Jordan Poole Party in Game 4)

The Warriors have their backs against the wall after a disheartening performance against the Celtics in Game 3 and need to come out stronger to position themselves for an upset win over the surging Celtics.

Boston, up 2-1 in the series, opened and closed the Warriors in convincing fashion, outscoring Golden State by double digits in the first and four quarters. Their achilles heel remains the third,

Best Prop Bets For Warriors vs. Celtics Today

• Warriors 3rd Quarter Point Line -0.5 (-105)
• Al Horford Under 10.5 Points (-115)
• Jordan Poole Over 2 3-Pointers Made (-135)

Warriors 3rd Quarter Point Line -0.5 (-105)

I'm not really sure why the Warriors are only favored by a half point in the third quarter against the Celtics with the Celtics as the -115 favorites, but I'll take it and bank on history repeating itself. So far in the NBA Finals, the Warriors have outscored the Celtics 38-24, 35-14 and 33-25 in the third quarter. That's an average point differential of 14.3 points in favor of Golden State. I'm not going to overthink this one. I'll back the Warriors to outscore the Celtics by a point or more once again.

Al Horford Under 10.5 Points (-115)

Horford hasn't eclipsed 11 points in back-to-back games since playing the Bucks in early May -- and he just scored 11 in Game 3 against Golden State. More importantly, Horford is playing an average of over fewer 7 minutes per game played in the Finals than against the Heat in the previous round and more than 9 minutes less than against the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Warriors smaller lineup has forced the Celtics to keep Horford on the bench more and give the more-athletic Grant Williams additional time in the lineup. All of this points to another down game for Horford.

Jordan Poole Over 2+ 3-Pointers Made (-135)

With Steph Curry nursing a sore foot, Poole should have more opportunities to shoot, which should lead to more made 3-pointers. He's averaged 6 attempts in the finals so far, but when Curry was out at the end of the season with another foot injury he averaged over 10 attempts. Not saying he gets to that number in this critical game, but I could see him hoisting 7 or 8 attempts tonight. True, he's averaging only 33.5% from deep in the finals, but he's a streaky shooter and tends to bounce back from poor performances like the 1-for-4 he put up in Game 3. I wouldn't go over this number, but I do feel, in what should be a tight game where Poole takes a few more shots, he gets 2 or more.
