The Dallas Mavericks welcome the Boston Celtics for Game 4 of the NBA Finals Friday. Tip from American Airlines Center is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we break down BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA Finals Game 4 prop bet odds and lines, and tab the Celtics vs. Mavericks bets to make among SportsbookWire’s expert NBA picks and predictions.
This has been a disastrous series for Mavs G Luka Doncic. Entering the series, the talk was: “Is he the best player in the Game?” Through 3 Games, the talk is now: “Will he ever win an NBA title?” He fouled out in a crucial stretch of Game 3, and the talk after was about how much he complained, berated officials, and how much his lack of defensive aptitude was killing his squad. The Celtics have cruised and have the chance to secure the 2nd-best overall record of any Celtics team in History.

Game 4: Celtics at Mavericks prop bet picks
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 11:52 a.m. ET.
Celtics C Al Horford OVER 1.5 three-pointers (-145)
The 38-year-old has hit 62 shots in the postseason, and 32 of them have been from beyond the arc. He’s 5-for-13 (38.5%) from deep in the series, and with C Kristaps Porzingis (leg) likely out or limited, Horford will have opportunities. He went 2-for-5 from deep in Game 3 without Porzingis. Unless he’s just way off, this should be a sweat-free cash.
Mavericks G Kyrie Irving OVER 2.5 three-pointers (-105)
Channeling my inner The Rock: “It doesn’t matter that the team is down 3-0!” Irving is going to come out blazin’. In the most complimentary form, Irving is a dog, and he’s not going out without a fight. He hit 4 triples in Game 3 after missing each attempt in the first 2 games. I look for another 3 or 4 in this one. Despite his struggles in the first 2 games, he’s still shooting 40.5% from distance in the playoffs.
Celtics G Derrick White to score 15+ points in each game of series (+150)
There’s a series special still alive where White scores 15+ in each game of the series. He has 15, 18 and 16 in this series. His line for this game is 15.5 (-110). He has 15+ in 7 of the last 8 games. We believe this series ends tonight, and this is a great way to cash in. There’s a 50% odds boost token in most BetMGM accounts that takes this to a whopping +225. Thank us later.

Celtics F Jaylen Brown OVER 34.5 points+rebounds+assists (-125)
Brown is on the precipice of being crowned NBA Finals MVP. He had 46 PRA in Game 3, which was the first game without Porzingis in the series. He clearly took on more of the load offensively. With that Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy in sight, I look for him to approach 30 points and blow this combo out of the water.
Mavericks G Luka Doncic UNDER 8.5 assists (+100)
The media has just trashed Doncic over the last 48 hours, and I look for him to put together a big effort shooting. He had 11 dimes in Game 2 but just 1 and 6 in the other 2 games. It’s clear he doesn’t trust anyone outside of Kyrie. Could he get 9 dimes? Absolutely. Is it worth the even-money to bet against it? I believe so. He’s not looking to dish Friday night.
