Celtics vs. Warriors: Best player prop bets for Game 6
Steph Curry OVER 28.5 points (-120) on FanDuel
Throughout the Finals, Curry's MVP chase has been at the center of attention, and even with his all-time streak of 233 consecutive games with a made 3-pointer (0-for-9) coming to an end in Game 5, he's still a heavy favorite to not only win the award but also have a big bounce-back game Thursday night after being held to just 16 points on Monday. Steph knows the narrative surrounding him and his past issues in the Finals, and he wants to end this series and make sure Game 5 is forgotten. When Curry keeps shooting, eventually good things happen, and I expect that in Game 6.
Marcus Smart OVER 16.5 points (+100) on DraftKings
The Defensive Player of the Year has become a legit offensive weapon for the Celtics throughout the postseason. He's gone OVER this total in three straight games, including two games over 20 points, but the biggest number that helped with this surge in points has been his three-point shooting. Smart is shooting 40.6 percent on 6.4 attempts from deep in the Finals, so the volume mixed with solid success there makes this OVER that much more likely. Also, the Celtics sitting with their backs against the wall has continued to bring out the best in this team, including Smart, who put up 24 in Boston's Game 7 win in Miami last round.
Jaylen Brown UNDER 30.5 points and rebounds (-106) on FanDuel
Brown has had a fairly solid NBA Finals (despite two sub-30-percent shooting games in there), averaging 21.4 points and 7.4 boards, but this total is more likely to go UNDER. He's only hit this number once in the first five games, and even though he did it three times last round, those were the first three games of the series, so it's been a while since any trend told us the OVER should be the play. Brown should still be a big factor in Game 6, just consider leaning toward the UNDER here with this combo.
