Here are our favorite NBA prop bets for Tuesday, May 23:
Boston Celtics at Miami Heat (-1.5, 216.5) – Game 4
Jimmy Butler has scored 27 or fewer points in each of the last two games, yet his point total for tonight sits at 27.5. That’s because the oddsmakers know that Butler is likely to be at his absolute best with this being a closeout game. Butler seemingly always performs at a high level when the Heat need him most. We got a good glimpse of that when Butler scored 35 points in Game 1 of this series, which really set the tone for things to come. Butler also happened to have 42 points in Miami’s closeout win over the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. And he had 24 points in a game in which the Heat scored only 96 points in a Game 6 win over the New York Knicks.
