The Boston Celtics can claim a historical championship with a win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday, and we are offering our best Mavericks vs. Celtics player props based on the best NBA odds.
The Dallas Mavericks staved off elimination with Friday's 122-84 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
While no team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit, bettors must wonder if the Mavs found something to keep this series alive or if the Celtics will secure their 18th championship in franchise history in front of their home fans on Monday.
Game 5 gets underway on Monday, with an 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) tipoff from TD Garden in Boston. The Celtics are as long as -3333 in the NBA Championship odds to capture a record 18th title.
Here are our best Mavericks vs. Celtics player props predictions for Monday's N BA Finals Game 5 matchup.

Mavericks vs. Celtics prop bet predictions for Monday
Oddsmakers are finally giving us some value again on Jayson Tatum's assists prop after he's failed to clear this mark in back-to-back outings and three of the four games in this series.
But Tatum leads all players with an average of 10 potential assists per game, suggesting opportunities exist. He dished out 12 dimes in Game 2, leading to an average of 6.3 assists per game during this series.

BetRivers is behind the market with its -132 value on this Over, as most of our best sports betting apps are trading this ticket at -145 or steeper. This prop is playable at -140 or better.
Best odds: -132 via BetRivers
While projections show value in the Over for Payton Richard's points prop of 3.5, I prefer needing just one 3-pointer to fall instead.
Prichard has connected on one 3-pointer in two of the four games in this series, firing 15 attempts in the NBA Finals. He attempted 11 total triples in the two blowout contests (Game 1 and Game 4), so I like having that to fall back on if Game 5 ends up lopsided.
With a projection of 1.15 made 3-pointers, a fair price on this Over is -180. I'd recommend this prediction at -130 or better.
Best odds: -120 via DraftKings

We have seen Mavericks rookie Dereck Lively II clear this mark in back-to-back outings, scoring 22 points, 25 rebounds, and one assist.
But both performances came with Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis sidelined. Lively could not crack double-digits in points, rebounds, and assists in either of the first two games when facing Porzingis.
Given there is a chance Porzingis returns on Monday, I think this line is inflated.
FanDuel is one of two shops setting this line at 19.5, as the rest of the market has moved to 18.5. At -120 or better, I'm taking this Under.
Best odds: -115 via FanDuel
