Derrick White to Score 15+ Points (+100)
After Porzingis went down in Round 1 vs Miami, many people were wondering who will be the 3rd scoring option behind Tatum and Brown. Derrick White has embraced that role fully and finds himself averaging 17.8 points per game in 14 postseason outings, on 47% efficiency from the field and over 40% from downtown. After scoring 18 points in the closeout game vs Cleveland, White continued his stellar play vs Indiana by clearing this line 3 times in 4 games, falling short by just 2 points in the one game he failed to do so. Spreading the wealth is what got the Celtics to this point, I don't think they'll stave off that strategy in the Finals against Dallas. This roster has 5 players capable of scoring 20+ points on any given night, unless either one of Tatum or Brown goes off in the series opener, I am expecting White to continue producing at a high level.
