The Miami Heat are riding a five-game winning streak after recently snapping a miserable stretch of losses. Despite holding a 34-41 record, they remain in the Eastern Conference play-in picture at ninth in the standings.

Tonight’s matchup against the defending champions will be a tough one, though. Here’s the top Tyler Herro prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Heat at Celtics on Tuesday.

Best Tyler Herro prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Sportsbook lists Herro’s prop lines at 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is 33.5.

The Heat are 10-point underdogs on DKSB tonight against the Celtics with a very low game total of just 211.5 points. Why’s the total so low? Both teams rank inside the top-10 in DRTG over their last 10 games, while they rank 29th and 30th in pace over the same span. With that in mind, this is likely going to be a slow-paced and low-scoring contest.

The top Herro prop bet for tonight is under 23.5 points. The Celtics allow the third-fewest opponent points per game this season, and over their last 10 games, they’re holding opponents to a league-low 104.4 points. The Celtics are dealing with some injury issues as Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis are all questionable, but it’s unlikely they all miss this game. Even still, this is a team that plays fantastic defense as a unit — even their bench players fit cohesively into the scheme to limit opponents’ effectiveness.

While Herro is a crafty scorer, the under is a better bet where his points line is concerned tonight. He’s also gone under this 23.5-point mark in 39 of his 72 appearances this season, a hit rate over 54%. In case you need more convincing, Herro went for just 19 points in his two prior matchups with the Celtics this season. Avoid the over and take the under instead at -105 odds.
