Betting tips for Eastern Conference finals - Heat-Celtics Game 4
All odds are provided by Caesars Sportsbook.
Sticking with Smart: In this Game 3, we encouraged you to take the over on Marcus Smart's prop markets, and we are doing the same in this huge game for the Celtics. Smart led the team in shots (22) and non-scoring opportunities (assists plus turnovers, 13) in Game 2, and despite a badly rolled ankle and foul trouble in Game 3, he hit over his points prop with 16 and led the team in non-scoring opportunities (11). The Celtics are comfortable with the ball in Smart's hands, and the Heat also seem to be OK with him determining their fate. So why not take advantage of that in a critical game at home?
Big on Bam: Miami netted a huge Game 3 from Bam Adebayo, who played a postseason-high 41 minutes in a 109-103 victory after Jimmy Butler left with a knee injury. With Butler questionable for Monday's Game 4 in Boston, Adebayo has reasonable pricing in daily fantasy ($6,500 on DraftKings) and achievable scoring and defensive props. He is expected to deliver around 40 fantasy points and has a high ceiling Monday night.
