3 Best Prop Bets for Heat vs Celtics NBA Playoffs Game 7 on May 29 (Fade Jaylen Brown From Beyond the Arc)

Monday's NBA postseason action brings with it an exciting Game 7 between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. FanDuel Sportsbook's latest NBA odds list the Celtics as 7-point home favorites with the projected total set at 203.5.

Here are three of the best NBA player prop bets for the Celtics vs Heat game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Celtics vs Heat Player Props

1. Jimmy Butler - Rebounds: Over 7.5 (-130)

It's no secret Jimmy Butler has struggled as a scorer during the Celtics' comeback. However, he's still made his presence felt on the boards, grabbing at least 8 rebounds in four of the past five contests. One way for Miami to turn things around is to control the glass and play Game 7 at the pace it wants. I expect Butler to be ultra-aggressive facing elimination, which could lead to a huge night as a rebounder.

2. Jaylen Brown - Made Threes: Under 2.5 (-170)

Jaylen Brown's been abysmal from deep during the Eastern Conference Finals. The two-time All-Star has cleared this over just once, and he's posted 1 or fewer made threes in each of the other five matchups. With a trip to the Finals on the line, this isn't the time for Brown to force something that clearly isn't there right now. Look for the forward to pass up 3-point attempts in favor of higher-percentage shots near the basket in Game 7.

3. Marcus Smart - Assists: Under 5.5 (-115)

Marcus Smart has made a concerted effort to increase his scoring contributions during Boston's winning streak. After posting 13 points or fewer over the first four matchups, Smart's notched 23 and 21 points, respectively, over his last two outings. This rise has coincided with a dip in playmaking, as Smart's managed just 3 total assists between Game 5 and 6. The Celtics will be desperate for scoring help on Monday as the Heat do everything they can to stop Jayson Tatum, so it'd be no surprise to see Smart focus his attention on scoring over distributing once again.
