Heat vs. Celtics Game 5 NBA Player Prop Bets: Bam Adebayo, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum
There is only one NBA playoff game tonight. That means limited player prop betting. Player prop betting is simple, pick a stat or combination of stats. Rebounds, points, and assists, then bet the player to achieve over or under that stat.
Let us look at the top player prop bets tonight.
Thursday’s Best NBA Playoffs Player Prop Bets
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Jayson Tatum Over 3.5 Three-Point Attempts (+125)
The Boston Celtics finally got their first win of the series last game. That means the Miami Heat leads the series 3-1. They need one more game to seal the series, but tonight the series returns to Boston. That gives the Celtics the advantage tonight, and the bettors can use that.
One of my favorite bets this season has been Jayson Tatum over on the three-point line. He averages 9.14 three-point attempts per game, and that shooting volume means Tatum is always a threat to make three-pointers. Tatum will have the most shooting opportunity tonight, giving him betting value.
Derrick White Under 12.5 Points (-105)
Derrick White has struggled through this playoff series. He has only scored over 12.5 points in one of the four games. That means there is a good chance White will score under that amount again tonight. Until White proves he can consistently make over 12.5 points, there is betting value on taking the under.
Bam Adebayo Over 2.5 Assists (-190)
Bam Adebayo is averaging four assists per game during this series. He has gotten assists consistently through the regular season and playoffs. There is plenty of scoring ability around him to rack up the assists in this matchup. That consistency, along with the players around him, gives Adebayo a chance to get over 2.5 assists tonight.
