Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals headlines Saturday Night in the sports world. After an underwhelming Game 2 where the Pacers waved the white flag early, bettors are hoping for a better result. You can find out our NBA picks on the side and total of every game through the postseason, but for now, let’s dive into today’s best NBA player prop bets for Pacers vs Celtics on Satu rday, May 25.
Derrick White, BOS, Over 9.5 rebounds + assists (-113)
Put some respect on Derrick White’s name. White has put up remarkable numbers this season with the Celtics, which doesn’t include him making the NBA All-Defensive 2nd Team. We backed White in Game 2 from a playmaking standpoint, and he easily cashed us out. We’re adding his rebounds tonight since he had nine rebounding chances in Game 2.
Attacking a rebound + assist line for a loaded Celtics offense can be scary, but White’s usage is still high enough for me to be comfortable taking this line – especially with the price we’re getting this at. The rest of the market is around -125 to -130. We’ll wait and see how the Pacers defensive strategy is towards Jaylen Brown, who is coming off a 40 point performance, but I'anticipate White becoming a'big'factor in the assist and rebounding column.'
