Best NBA Prop Bets Record to Date

Here are the plays we are eyeing for tonight’s slate with all odds via WynnBET:

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

  • Marcus Smart OVER 15.5 Points (-125)
  • Gary Payton II 1+ 3-Pointers Made (+145)
  • Jaylen Brown UNDER 24.5 Points (-120)

Marcus Smart OVER 15.5 Points (-125)

Back for more! Smart scored 20 points on 15 shots (six 3-pointers) in Game 5, right in line with his postseason marks off of a loss, and I expect another high volume game from him.

The Celtics’ backs are against the wall, the rotation is shrinking as Derrick White and Payton Pritchard have come back down to Earth, and I expect Smart to try and take matters into his own hands and to get a ton of shots up. I'll ride this one again. – Reed Wallach

Gary Payton II 1+ 3-Pointers Made (+145)

In the two games Payton has played over 20 minutes in, he’s cleared this line. The Warriors as a whole were cold from three last game, so I expect that to correct itself in Game 6. 

Payton will be on the court for his defense, but he’s not an offensive liability. If Boston continues to put immense pressure on Curry, forcing the ball out of his hands, then expect Payton to get a few 3s off once the play breaks down. – Donnavan Smoot

Jaylen Brown UNDER 24.5 Points (-120)

We’re playing all the classics in Game 6 and going back to the UNDER on Jaylen Brown’s points now that it’s back at 24.5. 

Brown has cleared this line just once in the series and just six times in 23 playoff games this season. 

The Celtics are going to need one of Brown or Jayson Tatum to show up in a big way in Game 6, but I’m going to continue to roll with this trend and take Jaylen to have a good, but not great performance in Game 6. – Peter Dewey
