Best NBA Prop Bets Today
- Jayson Tatum 35+ Points and Assists (+100)
- Victor Oladipo OVER 7.5 Points (-125)
Victor Oladipo OVER 7.5 Points (-125)
Victor Oladipo has been up and down in these playoffs, but he has had a consistent role in Erik Spoelstra’s rotation.
Oladipo took nine shots in just 15 minutes in Game 1, and he’s averaging 10.7 points on 9.2 shots per game in the playoffs. I think we see Oladipo play a similar role as a bench scorer in Game 2, and he should have a chance to get going with Derrick White out, meaning Payton Pritchard is going to have to defend someone on Miami. – Peter Dewey
Jayson Tatum 35+ Points and Assists (+100)
Jayson Tatum has hit this line in four of his last five games, and most of that has been from his scoring. I don’t need Tatum to turn into a point guard tonight, but a solid four or five assists will do the job.
The first half of Game 1 showed me that the only person who can stop Tatum is himself. He was knocking in shots from everywhere (rarely hitting the rim) and was finally able to get to the rim.
The Celtics are only going to go as far as Tatum takes them. With their backs against the wall, expect Tatum to rebound in a big way and add another fantastic stat line to his playoff game log. – Donnavan Smoot
