NBA Best Bets Today (Predictions For Desmond Bane, Pat Connaughton and Celtics-Bucks Total)
We have two Game 6s today, with the Warriors and Bucks in position to close the series out. Yesterday, we saw one series end and one get pushed to a Game 7. Will that happen tonight?
Let’s jump into some props to bet for tonight’s games.
NBA Best Bets Today
- Desmond Bane UNDER 18.5 Points (-105)
- Pat Connaughtan OVER 10.5 Points (-115)
- Celtics-Bucks OVER 211.5 Points (-110)
Desmond Bane UNDER 18.5 Points (-105)
This line is an extreme overreaction to Bane’s Game 5. Up until that point, he hadn’t cleared this line in any game. The Grizzlies came out and blew the Warriors out. It was that kind of night. Bane still has back issues and now has to go on the road and replicate that performance. Bane was able to get to the free throw line in Game 5. I’m expecting a little regression tonight, which will cause Bane to hit the UNDER.
Pat Connaughtan OVER 10.5 Points (-115)
Of all the role players on the Bucks, Connaughton has been the most consistent. He’s cleared this line in every game after Game 1. He’s shooting 48% from three and averaging over 11 points per game in this series. With Antetokounmpo driving to the rim and Boston sending a double team, Connaughton is going to be wide open. The Bucks need a consistent shooter and Connaughton has been their guy.
Celtics-Bucks OVER 211.5 Points (-110)
I know this isn’t a player prop, but this might become my best bet of the night. This series, although extremely physical, has begun to open up a little bit in the last few games. Boston is starting to be more successful at the rim and Giannis Antetokounmpo has gotten going. The last two games have hit the OVER and that’s because the line continues to drop. Expect this line to drop even more and then grab it.
