Betting tips for NBA playoffs - Celtics-Bucks, Grizzlies-Warriors Game 5s

Jayson the creator? Jayson Tatum is turning into a superstar before our eyes, and it's more than just his elite ability to score. Tatum has become a playmaker for Boston's role players, tallying 32 assists in four home games this postseason and 19 dimes in four road games. His 3-point prop is also worth looking at tonight. While Tatum has missed 13 of 16 3s over the past two games, he has made 45.2% of his 3s at home this postseason, compared to 32% on the road. Big-time players step up in big-time games, and Tatum is in for a strong showing tonight.
Getting Wiggy With It: The Warriors have no interest in playing their big men. Even with Steven Adams nearly doubling his playoff minute total in Game 4, Golden State played Jonathan Kuminga and Kevon Looney for only 20 minutes. Instead, they continue to trot out their wing players like Andrew Wiggins and Otto Porter Jr. That should continue tonight as the Warriors look to close out the series in Game 5. The versatile rotation has lots of positives. While the Warriors don't appear to have a traditional rebounder on the court, Wiggins has averaged 9.0 boards in three of the past four games. Targeting his rebound prop is the best play tonight given his role as a pseudo big man.
