3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Celtics vs. Nets Game 4 (Bruce Brown Stays Hot)

The Boston Celtics are up 3-0 on the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBA playoffs heading into Monday's Game 4 in Brooklyn. 

Boston has dominated defensively in this series, holding Kevin Durant to 36.5 percent shooting from the field. The Nets kept Game 1 close, losing on a buzzer beater, but each of the last two games have gotten away from Brooklyn down the stretch. 

If you aren’t looking to bet a side in this matchup, here are three player props at WynnBET that I think are worth considering for Game 4: 

Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Celtics vs. Nets

• Bruce Brown OVER 14.5 Points (-125)
• Jayson Tatum UNDER 6.5 Rebounds (-105)
• Marcus Smart OVER 13.5 Points (-120)

Bruce Brown OVER 14.5 Points (-125)

Bruce Brown took just three shots in Game 1 of this series, but he’s gotten back to his normal role with the Nets, taking 12 and 19 shots over the last two games. 

Brown has arguably been the best player for Brooklyn in this postseason, and he’s scored 23 and 26 points in the last two games of this series. 

The Celtics seem content with letting the Nets' role guys do most of the damage, as they’ve sold out to stop Durant and Kyrie Irving, and it's worked. I think that leads to another solid game for Brown tonight. 

Jayson Tatum UNDER 6.5 Rebounds (-105)

Jayson Tatum does it all for Boston, but he has failed to clear this number in this series, and he’s actually missed it in six of his last eight games. 

The OVER on this prop is juiced at -125 odds, but I don’t see why considering Boston has really done a solid job of team rebounding this series. Tatum has also been the primary defender on Kevin Durant, which has given him less chances to crash the glass. 

Marcus Smart OVER 13.5 Points (-120)

This is another volume play on a scoring prop, as Marcus Smart has taken 17, nine and 15 shots in the first three games of this series. 

While he is shooting just 17-for-41 in the series, Smart has cleared this line twice with 20 points in Game 1 and 14 in Game 3. 

I don’t usually love backing Smart as a scorer, but the reality is he’s going to be on the floor for 35-plus minutes and has gotten the opportunities to score with the Nets trying to limit Tatum and Jaylen Brown. 

I think he gets OVER 13.5 points tonight.
