Marcus Smart OVER 24.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-120)

We know the Celtics as a team have responded as well as anyone in the league following a loss in the playoffs, going 7-0 both SU and ATS in their next game.

But did you know that Marcus Smart's play in the postseason has also reflected that dominance?

Smart has averaged 15.5 points, 6.2 assists and 4.5 rebounds during the postseason. After a loss, all three of these numbers skyrocket.

Smart has talked about the need to push himself to his absolute limit in the series on both ends of the floor, and the same size for him exceeding expectations in this spot has hit time and time again. -- Ben Heisler

Draymond Green UNDER 21.5 Points, Rebounds Assists (-120)

Draymond Green has been brutal in this series, and he’s failed to hit 21.5 PRA in any of the first four games. 

Green came close in Game 4 with two points, nine rebounds and eight assists, but he’s scored just 17 points in the entire series, seriously limiting his ceiling with this prop. 

I’ll fade Draymond again with his offensive game seriously lacking against Boston. – Peter Dewey

Marcus Smart OVER 15.5 Points (+100)

If you take out a Game 2 dud where he scored two points, Marcus Smart has been a big factor all series, scoring 18 twice and 24 in a Game 3 win. 

As we hit the latter stages of the series, the rotations will continue to tighten and that should lead to even more minutes for the Celtics guard. He has bounced back well after losses in the games that he played, averaging nearly 22 points per game. He is also taking a ton of 3-pointers this series, averaging nearly seven, so I'll take the even money OVER. – Reed Wallach
