The Boston Celtics will look to make another trip to the NBA Finals official Monday when they visit the Indiana Pacers in Game 4. It looked like the Celtics would be forced to play at least one more game in this series than needed, but veteran guard Jrue Holiday stepped up at the key moment to give Boston a 3-0 lead. The Celtics will hope to complete the sweep tonight.
Here’s a look at some of our favorite Celtics player prop bets to target for Game 4 Monday, with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Jayson Tatum over 9.5 rebounds (-130)
Tatum has hit double-digit rebounds in 10 of the 13 games he’s suited up in this postseason, showcasing his consistency and dominance. With Kristaps Porzingis still sidelined, the opportunities should be there for Tatum to continue doing work on the glass. The Pacers might be out of juice after a heartbreaking Game 3 win, and they’re eventually going to start missing more shots. I think Tatum should easily clear this line Monday evening.
Jrue Holiday over 5.5 assists (+110)
The veteran guard had the key moment in Game 3 despite battling an illness. He should be closer to 100% in Game 4 and that should help him bounce back in this category. Holiday registered 18 assists over the first two games of the series before hitting only three assists in Game 3. With a day off to recover after a thrilling win, I feel Holiday will be back to his usual self and go over this mark. He’s hovered around five assists per game for most of the playoffs, and I prefer the over at plus-money in this situation.
Derrick White over 2.5 3-pointers (-162)
White hasn’t exactly exploded in this series from behind the arc yet, though he has gone over this line in two of the three games. He’s hit at least two triples in each game, so the opportunities have been there. White has been lights out from behind the arc in the playoffs, shooting 42.2%. He might have a breakout game at the perfect time for Boston tonight.
