The No. 2 seed Celtics will look to build off their 34-point Game 2 win as they travel down to Philadelphia to play the No. 3 seed Sixers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Boston picked up where they left off in Game 1 as they attempted 51 three-pointers and made 20 earlier this week. Jaylen Brown led the way for the Celtics as Jayson Tatum was in foul trouble in the contest. Brown had 25 points (9-17 FT, 3-6), four assists, and three rebounds. However, he wasn't the only 20-point scorer for the C's as Malcolm Brogdon dropped 23 points (7-15 FG, 6-10 3pt) and six rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Sixers welcomed MVP Joel Embiid back to the starting lineup, who only had 15 points, five blocks, and three rebounds. James Harden, who was the star of Game 1 with 45 points, struggled with 12 points (2-14 FG, 0-6 3pt). Philadelphia will hope for a better performance from their star-studded duo, as they need both players to win tonight. Brown, Tatum, Brogdon, Harden, and Embiid are just some of the top options for bettors looking to win money on SuperDraft.
On SuperDraft, bettors can pick an over/under on two or more player props. If you hit both, you win up to 3X the amount wagered, and the return increases each time you add another prop. Think of it as a "Same Game Parlay." More legs equal more risk, but also a bigger potential payout. However, not all players have the same props, so keep that in mind as you pick your over/under plays and try to win some cash during tonight's game.
SuperDraft Player Prop Picks for Sixers-Celtics Game 3
Jaylen Brown, SF, Celtics - UNDER 5.5 rebounds
This SuperDraft fantasy prop worked out for us on Wednesday night, as Brown only grabbed three rebounds in Boston's 34-point win in Game 2. The 26-year-old wing was cooking the Sixers on the perimeter, scoring 25 points on 9-of-17 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range.
We do not expect Brown to crash the boards tonight, as the Celtics have Al Horford, Robert Williams, and Jayson Tatum, who do an excellent job of rebounding. The All-Star small forward has gone UNDER 5.5 rebounds in five out of his past eight games and averaged three rebounds per game against Philadelphia in the regular season.
Joel Embiid, C, Sixers - OVER 25.5 rebounds
Embiid showed some rust in Game 2 Wednesday night after missing the previous two playoff games with an LCL sprain --15 points in 27 minutes. It wasn't a normal Embiid performance, who had his way against the Celtics during the regular season (36.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game).
We should expect Embiid to look better with a game under his belt and play more aggressively as he looks for his offense. The 29-year-old center is scoring 18.8 points per game in the postseason and only scored more than 25.5 points once (Game 1 vs. the Nets -- 26). We know Embiid can find his spots on offense and get additional points at the free-throw line as he looks to establish his presence inside the paint.
Jayson Tatum, SF, Celtics - OVER 29 points
Tatum did not play much in Wednesday's game due to foul trouble, but the good news for the Celtics is that they didn't need him, cruising to a 34-point win. The All-Star wing has played well thus far in the postseason, averaging 26.1 points per game on 45.6 percent shooting from the field and 36.8 percent from beyond the arc. He's only gone OVER 29 points in three out of his past eight games but had two other games with at least 29 points.
In Game 1 against the Sixers, Tatum had 39 points on 14-of-25 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range. That performance was not a fluke, as he can easily do it again. We might be sweating this points prop late in the game, but with the volume of shots Tatum takes, he should go over.
Tobias Harris, SF, Sixers - OVER 15.5 points
Our final fantasy prop will be Harris OVER 15.5 points, as he's played well throughout the postseason for the Sixers. The veteran forward is scoring 19.2 points per game in six postseason games and has gone OVER 15.5 points in six-straight contests.
Harris barely scored more than 15.5 points in Game 2, as he had 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc. The Sixers would like to see Harris continue to play at this level, as it will only help them in this series. If the veteran forward can knock down a couple of threes tonight that the Celtics will allow as they focus on Embiid, Harden, and Tyrese Maxey, the over could hit once again.
