The Pickswise prop team is running hot! Winners of six of the last seven plays, we’re going for even more tonight, as the Boston Celtics host the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Let’s dive into our top NBA player prop bets for Thursday, May 23.
Al Horford, BOS, Over 10.5 points (-118)
In Game 1, The Indiana Pacers were content with letting Al Horford shoot spot-up 3-pointers. The Celtics threw a bunch of ball screens at Tyrese Haliburton with Al Horford being the screener and popping to the 3-point line – most of these resulting in Myles Turner playing drop coverage and Horford leaking out for open shots. We’ll see what adjustments Rick Carlisle makes, but living with the Celtics’ 5th option shooting 10+ field goal attempts may be their best chance at stealing Game 2.
