Top 10 player props for Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics, Game 3
No. 10- Jaylen Brown to go over 1.5 3-pointers (-166)
Jaylen Brown has been exceptional for the Boston Celtics this season. He was awarded the Eastern Conference Finals MVP because of his stellar performance against the Pacers.
He proved his worth against the Mavs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals as well. Brown put on a spectacular two-way performance excelling both offensively and defensively but most importantly, he provided his team with clutch three-pointers when they needed them the most.
No. 9- Jrue Holiday to go over 1.5 3-pointers (-175)
Jrue Holiday has been a pillar of strength for the Celtics. His experience from the 2021 Championship run with the Milwaukee Bucks is paying dividends, as he is one of the most reliable players to put the ball in the basket from downtown when it matters the most.
No. 8- PJ Washington to go over 1.5 3-pointers (-175)
PJ Washington faced a shutdown in the first two games against the Celtics at TD Garden. The Mavericks forward was unable to do much from beyond the arc due to the pressure on him. However, he still boasts a 3-point percentage of 34.7% in the postseason and would make full use of that accuracy in the important Game 3.
No. 7- Luka Doncic to go over 3.5 3-pointers (-148)
The Celtics won the first two games in the series but they were unable to contain Luka's magic. The Slovenian interaction put up impressive numbers despite his team's loss. However, he struggled with his three-point shooting at the Garden but at his home court, that might not be an issue as he boasts a 34.8% downtown accuracy.
No. 6- Dereck Lively II to go under 6.5 rebounds (-125)
Drecek Lively II has been a key asset for the Mavericks since he joined the franchise. He is a defensive pillar that guards the rim tirelessly so that his other teammates can focus on marking their men. With Game 3 being played in Dallas, Lively is expected to make a comeback.
No. 5- Al Horford to go under 7.5 rebounds (-125)
Al Horford has proven himself in the first two games of the final series. He is a reliable substitute for Porzingis and when the big man rests, Horford would do his job the best as he can.
No. 4- Jayson Tatum to go over 9.5 rebounds (-122)
Jayson Tatum will be the key under the spotlight going into Game 3. It will be his responsibility to slow the Mavericks' fast breaks and transitions using his elite defensive prowess.
No. 3- Jaylen Brown to go under 23.5 points (-118)
Jaylen Brown shined brightly in the first two games, leading his team to victory both times. He is expected to do the same at the American Airlines Center. He is currently averaging 29.5 points per game against the Mavericks.
No. 2- Kyrie Irving to go over 23.5 points (-105)
Eight-time All-Star Kyrie Irving was not great at the Garden and was struggling to make an impact. Kyrie himself shouldered the blame for Mavericks' loss in Game 2 after in a post-game conference. So a redemption performance can be expected from him going into Game 3.
No. 1- Luka Doncic to go over 32.5 points (-115)
Luka Doncic is expected to be the star performer of the night because of his performances in the first two games. Doncic went 300 and 32 points in Game 1 and Game 2 respectively, and that was at an away court. The Slovenian is expected to recreate that level of performance at the home court as well.
