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

Best NBA Prop Bets Today

• Draymond Green 1+ Threes (+135)
• Jordan Poole OVER 2.5 Assists (+100)
• Draymond Green OVER 6 Assists (-115)

Draymond Green 1+ 3-Pointers (+135)

On paper, this might be the nastiest prop of the night. Green has only made two 3-pointers in his last 13 games. Nevertheless, he has my support. Green is taking at least one 3 per game this postseason, which means that we have all the volume we need. The Celtics are going to dare him to shoot the ball, and Green has to be willing to take it to keep the defense honest.

As long as Green keeps shooting, one will eventually drop. The Warriors need all the offense they can get, so it wouldn’t shock me if Green attempted more threes in order to make that happen. – Donnavan Smoot

Jordan Poole OVER 2.5 Assists (+100)

Jordan Poole struggled in Game 1, but he bounced back in some garbage time action in Game 2, and it may have him going for this series. 

Poole needs to be smarter with the ball (seven turnovers in two games), but he’s been really underrated as a passer this postseason, averaging 4.3 assists per game. What’s more impressive is that Poole has cleared 2.5 dimes in 14 of 18 games, yet he still is at plus odds in this prop. 

Even if the Warriors get blown out or blow out the Celtics, Steve Kerr has had no problem playing Poole in garbage time. I think that helps him hit the over on this in Game 3. 

Draymond Green OVER 6 Assists (-115)

Green has only hit this number in two of his last six games, but the matchup moving to Boston is actually an advantageous one for him to get even more time on the court.

As analyst Sal Vetri points out below, Green needs to get to the 30 minute mark to hit the magic number.

With Boston as a short home favorite at -3.5, expect Green to get a ton of minutes, especially in the second half as Golden State looks to continue their third quarter onslaught of Boston; outscoring them 73-38 in the first two games.

Some books still have this number set at 5.5, but the juice ranges anywhere from -150 to -170. Considering I’m projecting Green for around 7 dimes tonight, I’ll take the slightly higher number for far less juice.– Ben Heisler
