With the Celtics holding a 3-0 series lead and the Pacers' season all but over, Game 4 could see minutes go different ways on both sides. Read more in our Celtics vs. Pacers prop picks below.Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics are one win away from clinching the Eastern Conference and advancing to the NBA Finals, and we've searched through the NBA odds to find our favorite NBA player props for Monday's Game 4 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
McConnell is incredibly efficient in short spurts, but as his minutes increase, you don't necessarily see his production per minute stay as high. He played 29 minutes in Game 3, and it was a perfect storm for him to see as many minutes as Rick Carlisle would be willing to give him. The Pacers were winning for most of the game and he wasn't in any foul trouble.
The key to this bet, though, is that we don't need reduced minutes for our edge; we have a massive edge even if he plays 30 minutes. McConnell is projected to score 12.5 points on Monday, which justifies pricing the Under 14.5 points at -202. However, it's available athas gone Under his assist total in all three games in this series and he only has one assist overall.
Not only is it unusual for these potential assists to not convert, but there are also basketball reasons to believe Horford could be in line for even more potential assists. He made seven 3-pointers in Game 3 and Indiana's defense will have to adjust and contest more of his shots. If the defense is more aware of where Horford is from beyond the arc, it should lead to more swing passes by Horford and potential assists.
When Adam Scherer and I were doing the NBA release show here at Covers last Thursday, we discussed the possibility of Joe Mazzulla going with a smaller lineup against the Pacers and Hauser potentially seeing increased minutes. We never placed the bet, but Mazzulla did end up giving Hauser 20 minutes of playing time.
