NBA Player Props Bet Picks: Celtics vs. Mavericks (Game 4)

by |

With Boston taking a commanding 3-0 series lead the NBA Finals continues as Dallas and company look to make a miracle of a comeback. Dallas sits as a slight favorite with the total around 211.5. It's been a wonderful year and I want to thank everyone for following along this year. Hopefully, you've made some money whether it's been following me or otherwise. But the season isn't over yet. As always shop around for the best odds, especially for the more specific props.  

Unless specified otherwise, each bet will be a single unit.

Friday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets

Last Time: 3-0 | Season: 156-120

Jaylen Brown Under 10.5 Reb + Ast (+100 on FanDuel)

It's a little unsettling to fade the favorite for Finals MVP in what may be the last game to bet all season, but here we are. It never is the most confident bets that seem to hit, right? After coming off an effort of a combined 16 points and assists, it makes sense why this line is boosted. But his seasonal averages reflect differently, averaging just over five rebounds and three assists on the year. Dallas is playing with all they can and has absolutely nothing to lose. I am not much of a bettor based on effort as I assume everyone plays 100% of their effort all the time but if there is ever a game that I would change it would be this one. What does Dallas have to lose here? It is a zag while others zig kind of bet but at even odds the value is spectacular. Jaylen Brown has averaged under double-digit rebounds and assists all year so I'm banking on him regressing to the mean tonight.  

Kyrie Irving Over 28.5 Pts + Reb (-110 on DraftKings)

After betting on this prop last game, I'm going right back to the well with it only increasing by a point after a 35-point effort. Usually, I sell high stock but after such an outing I expected this prop to bounce. Instead, it's stayed pretty steady so I'm riding it again. If there's anyone who is going to have high usage tonight it's Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. Assuming neither foul out, Irving could be on the court the entire game. He's averaged 36 minutes a game this season with nearly 25 points and four rebounds. Boston's defense is top-notch and it is a pace-down spot but with a presumed 10 extra minutes of playing time. I fully expect Irving to go well over this prop. To finish the season, I'm riding high here to go with a three-unit bet. You are also welcome to bet alternates if you care to go higher. Kyrie will get his usage and he will get his looks. I am betting him to capture enough points and boards to sail over this prop.
