The second-seeded Celtics look to become the first team in 150 tries to erase a 3-0 series deficit, needing a home win over the eighth-seeded Heat on Monday night to return to the NBA Finals (8:30 p.m. ET, TNT). The Celtics kept their season alive after Derrick White's last-second tip-in on Saturday and look to ride the emotional high of their buzzer-beater back home inside TD Garden.
For DFS players looking to make an entry via SuperDraft's Fantasy Props feature for Game 7, we're here to guide you in the right direction. On SuperDraft, users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. Consequently, the more legs you add to your player prop parlay (maximum six legs), the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep will be challenging.
Below, we'll break down four of our favorite player props on SuperDraft for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Celtics and Heat. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. You could opt to make separate two-legged parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all four picks come through.
SuperDraft Player Prop Picks for Celtics-Heat Game 7
Bam Adebayo, C, Heat - OVER 0.5 points
With SuperDraft lowering Adebayo's points prop to 0.5, we'd be foolish not to take advantage of their free square promotion in our Fantasy Props entries tonight.
Adebayo had a rough shooting night in Game 5, finishing with 11 points on four-of-16 shooting, but he logged 46 minutes and still did his part on the glass (13 rebounds). We'll see if he can go OVER his actual points prop of 16.5, but he'll undoubtedly find a way to score one point to cash this free square for SuperDraft users.
MORE CELTICS-HEAT BETTING: Game 7 betting preview
Marcus Smart, PG, Celtics - OVER 14.5 points
Even though Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) is expected to be available to play tonight, Smart's likely to log close to 40 minutes, hoisting up enough shots to eclipse 14.5 points. We'll see how effective Brogdon is after missing the past two games, but Smart's done his part in Games 5 and 6, scoring 23 and 21 points, respectively.
Smart's canned four threes in each game while attempting an average of four free throws per game. His ability to score in a multitude of ways gives bettors a real shot at cashing their Smart OVER 14.5 points prop for a third straight game.
Duncan Robinson, SF, Heat - OVER 9 points
Robinson's scoring at an efficient clip over his past two games, ending Game 5 with 18 points on seven-of-10 shooting while scoring 13 points on five-of-11 shooting in Game 6. With Miami unable to get much of anything going from the paint (16-of-52 shooting in Game 6), the Heat's perimeter offense might have to carry them if they have any shot of making Game 7 a competitive one.
Look for Robinson to attempt close to 10 shots tonight, setting him up to end Game 7 with 10-plus points. Omitting Game 1 of the ECF where Robinson logged seven minutes, he's gone OVER 9 points in four of five games this series.
Gabe Vincent, PG, Heat - UNDER 14 points
Vincent struggled to find his rhythm in Game 6 after missing Game 5 with an ankle injury, ending the night with 15 points on six-of-18 shooting. While the volume is certainly there for Vincent to post a more effective scoring night in Game 7, we're expecting fewer possessions in what should be a defensive grind on both sides.
The pace has noticeably slowed down the past three games of this series, with Game 6 finishing with a pace factor of 90. Add in Boston's interior defense clamping down over the past three games, and unless Vincent finds success exploiting the Celtics' defense from the perimeter, we think he fails to score 14-plus points.
