Let’s take a look at some prop bets!

Read our Warriors vs. Celtics game 3 preview.

Stephen Curry – Over 28.5 Points

Stephen Curry is coming off another big game, as he scored 29 points on 9-of-21 shooting in Game 2. He also had a huge performance in Game 1, dropping 34 points on 12-of-25 shooting from the field.

The Warriors’ offense always runs through Curry. Even when Kevin Durant was here, the offense ran through the deadly 3-point shooter, as Draymond Green admitted.

With Curry having lots to prove this Finals, expect his run of hitting over 28 points a game to continue.

NBA Odds

Jayson Tatum – Over 27.5 Points

After a forgettable Game 1, Jayson Tatum bounced back in Game 2, as he had 28 points on 8-of-19 shooting.

Tatum is normally too talented and composed of a player to let the big moment affect his play, but he seemed to let that happen in Game 1.

With the series shifting back to Boston, the Celtics fans potentially get to see their team win a Finals home game for the first time in a decade. Expect Tatum to be super locked in and completely utilize his all-around ability to score.

Klay Thompson – Under 18.5 Points

Klay Thompson has not looked like himself these Finals at all. He’s coming off a forgettable 11-point performance on 4-of-19 shooting in Game 2.

In years past, Thompson has established himself as one of the best shooters in the league. With his ability to move off the ball and off the gravity Curry attracts, space opens up space for him.

Thompson has also proven he has the ability to score off the drive.

Given that he’s still getting used to playing all these minutes, it’s safe to assume that he likely won’t be able to hit the over in this one.

NBA Picks

Jaylen Brown – Over 23.5 Points

After a Game 1 in which he scored 24 points, Jaylen Brown fell back down to earth in Game 2. He was only able to manage 17 points on 5-of-17 shooting.

Brown is continuing to establish himself as one of the best scorers in the league. He’s got an ability to create his own shot in the mid-range and hit the three.

With the series back in Boston, Brown should be able to turn it around and let that energy from the home crowd inspire him to play his best basketball.

Marcus Smart – Over 13.5 Points

Marcus Smart was very quiet in Game 2, as he was only able to score 2 points. However, in Game 1, he put up 18 points.

Smart is the type of player that thrives off the energy from his home fans. With his ability to hit the three and the mid-range jumper, he will get plenty of opportunities. Especially from the attention Tatum and Brown attract, Smart could have a big game.
