LA Clippers vs Boston Celtics Betting Tips
Jayson Tatum has an over/under of 26.5 points, which is lower than his season average of 28.9 points per game. Tatum has gone over 26.5 twice in his last five games and three times in his last five games against the Clippers. Bet on Tatum to score at least 27 points on Monday night.
Jaylen Brown is coming off a 29-point performance on Sunday and is favored to go over 23.5 against the Clippers. Brown has scored at least 24 points four times in his last five, so it's less risky to place your money on the Finals MVP to go over 23.5 points.
James Harden is averaging 20.4 ppg this season, but his over/under for Monday is 23.5. Harden is favored to go under since he has scored at least 24 points just four times in 17 games this season. You can get more payout if you bet on Harden to go over, but it's safer to place the money on under 23.5.
Ivica Zubac is having the best season of his career, averaging 15.1 ppg. Zubac has an over/under of 14.5 points and is favored to score at least 15 points. He has scored 15 points or more in 10 games this season, so it's good to use the odds in your favor.
