The Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies are trying to even their respective series in Game 4 on Monday night, but what props should you target?

Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

Here are the plays I am looking at for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Jayson Tatum OVER 5.5 Assists (-120)
  • Steph Curry OVER 26.5 Points (-120)

Jayson Tatum OVER 5.5 Assists (-120)

Jayson Tatum only had three assists in Game 3, one of the worst games of his career, but I like him to bounce back in Game 4 given the sheer volume of his reps on the ball. 

He has at least five assists in every other playoff game and is averaging 6.6 this postseason. 

The Celtics are running their offense through him and Tatum is leading the team in minutes and was second in Game 3 in touches and passes made, per player tracking on NBA.com. I'm going to count on a bounce back from Tatum, both as a scorer but as a playmaker. 

He may not force the issue after a 4-for-19 outing, but I expect Milwaukee to force the ball out of his hands more and more as they look to allow the complementary players to beat them. – Reed Wallach

Steph Curry OVER 26.5 Points (-120)

I know Dillon Brooks is back for the Memphis Grizzlies to defend Steph Curry, but Curry has been elite in these playoffs, scoring 27 or more points in six of his last seven games. 

Curry only needed 14 shots to score 30 points in Game 3, and the Grizzlies’ offense is going to be worse off with Ja Morant looking unlikely to play on Monday

I think we’re getting some value on Steph here at 26.5. – Peter Dewey
