Game 5: Mavericks at Celtics 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 10:15 a.m. ET.
Mavericks G Luka Doncic UNDER 32.5 points (-110)
Doncic has not gone over 32 points a single time in this series and has gone over just once in his last 6 games overall. Doncic will struggle to create scoring opportunities on the road. He is just 1-of-15 from 3 in his last 2 games combined. He has also been inefficient from the free-throw line in this series, going a combined 15-of-27.
Celtics F Jayson Tatum OVER 27.5 points (-110)
With a championship in sight, Game 5 will present an opportunity for Tatum to show that he is the leader of the Celtics. Tatum had 31 in a critical Game 3 on the road, showing his ability to get to the basket at will when needed. He averaged 26.9 points per game in the regular season and has shot 40% or better from the field in 10 of his last 12 games.
Mavericks G Kyrie Irving OVER 4.5 assists (+100)
Irving averaged 5.2 assists per game this season and has been a critical part of the Mavericks’ success. His ability to facilitate the offense and distribute the ball is what will allow Dallas to stay in the game Monday. He has dished out 6 assists in 2 of his last 3 games and at least 4 dimes in 11 of his last 14.

Tatum OVER 9.5 rebounds (-120)
With C Kristaps Porzingis most likely out of the lineup Monday, Tatum will have to take the lead on grabbing rebounds, and he is more than capable of doing so. He has 9 or more rebounds in both home Games in this series and has grabbed 10 or more boards in 12 of 18 playoff Games.
