Al Horford OVER 1.5 Threes (-106)
Boston made another step towards their comeback as they’ve now won back-to-back. Tonight will be a big test as they try to win another one on the road. Let’s look at some players that may or may not make an impact tonight.
The Celtics made a big statement in Game 5 as they are looking to make history as the first NBA team to come back from 3-0. Boston’s current run has largely had to do with the ability to shoot significantly better from the three, going 29% from behind the arc in the first three games to 40% in the last two. The value of Al Horford is that he's a big man but will move out to the wing and take the three. He's gone over this prop in 64% of games this year and two of three.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 30.5 Points/Rebounds/Assists (-111)
A few key reasons why the Heat hasn't closed it out is because they're once again looking like the poor three-point shooting team from the regular season, but they've also lost their inside presence. Bam Adebayo was playing great, and although Jimmy Butler overshadowed him, he's been a big part of this run. He's lost that over the last three games and is only averaging 13 points and 5.3 rebounds. The Celtics have moved to a smaller lineup with three guards, a wing, and a center. That pressure at the perimeter is keeping the ball away from Adebayo and reducing his touches.
