MIAMI HEAT VS. BOSTON CELTICS Game 5 Player Prop Picks
While White dominated Game 4, he is still the Celtics' fourth scoring option.
These games have been low-scoring all series, and the pace of the games has been slow.
We are getting a great number on White after his big game.
Lastly, there is a chance that this game will be a blowout, and White's minutes will be limited in the fourth.
This is also playable at 16.5 for less juice.

We rode Bam over the last game, but we will be fading him tonight.
Bam has gone over his number in three of the four games in the series, and now we see his total at 21.5.
Boston will have a strong game plan to slow down Bam tonight.
