Two NBA props for Heat-Celtics Game 5

By Griffin Carroll | Last updated 5/25/23

The Celtics are down 3-1 and returning to Boston, and TD Garden is sure to be rocking with hope lit anew. We've got a pair of props here for Boston-Miami's fifth game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Jayson Tatum over 3.5 made threes (+125 DK)

For Boston to win, they need a big game from Jayson Tatum, and the foundation for some of those big games has been his shooting beyond the arc.

Tatum finished with 33 points in Game 4, going 4-9 from three. When the Celtics have won this postseason, the constant has been Tatum's three-point shooting. He's logged 4+ made threes in six of nine wins this postseason, including three straight.

We do lean Boston winning tonight, and its most important player has to be involved for it to happen. Tatum has drained 12 threes in the past two wins against Miami.

Give us over 3.5 threes tonight at plus-money.

Kevin Love under 10.5 Pts + Reb + Ast

Kevin Love has not been involved this series at all. He's playing less than 17 minutes per game, and hasn't played more than 18 in a game since Game 4 against the Knicks last round.

The diminishing role has impacted his production, as you might imagine. He's under this 10.5 PRA line in three straight games and four of his last five games.

As long as Love continues to factor out of the game plan, it's best we fade the Heat big. Load us up an under here.
