NBA Playoffs Props Tonight: Player Props to Target for Heat vs. Celtics Game 4 (5/23)
The Denver Nuggets completed a sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers last night. And this evening, the Miami Heat are hoping to advance to the NBA Finals themselves.
The Boston Celtics gave up midway through the third Quarter of Game 3, and their season is all but over. So, we're going the Same Game Parlay route for tonight's Game 4.
Let's jump into today's picks!
NBA Props Tonight - Tuesday, May 23
SGP: Jaylen Brown Under 30.5 Points, Under 6.5 Assists, Kyle Lowry 3+ Assists -140 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds
Let's start off with some alternative plays for those who can't get this same-game parlay. I like Jaylen Brown Under 27.5 Points + Assists, or Kyle Lowry Over 3.5 Assists. But I do like this combination even better.
Jaylen Brown has had an abysmal series. He's finished with 22 points + 5 assists, 16 points + 3 assists, and 12 points + 2 assists in three games. That's 16.7 points and 3.3 assists per game while shooting just 37.7% from the field.
Brown has now logged 40 playoff games over the last two seasons. He's finished under both lines in 35 of these 40 games, averaging 23.1 PPG and 3.5 APG. He's cashed both of these unders in 14 of his 16 games against the Miami Heat over the last two seasons, averaging 24.0 PPG and 3.4 APG.
As for Kyle Lowry, the 37-year-old point guard has played 25 games off the bench for Miami since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him a few months ago. He's dished out 3+ assists in 23 of these 25 games, averaging 4.4 APG. Even if Lowry only plays somewhere in the range of 18-24 minutes tonight, that should still be enough for him to cash in. He's reached this line in all seven games against Boston this season, posting 5.0 APG, and should extend that streak to eight straight tonight.
