Best NBA Prop Picks: Lock In This Expert's Best NBA Prop Bets for Monday
Just when we thought the NBA Finals was over, the Mavericks reeled us all back in. Dallas' 48-point win against Boston pushed the series to 3-1.
While Boston has the advantage in tonight's matchup, the line movement is headed toward the Mavericks as of the morning.
Things are getting very interesting. Here are three player props to consider for tonight's Game 5.

P.J. Washington Over 11.5 Points (-130) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving can't do this alone. They need the No. 3 scorer, P.J. Washington, to step up tonight.
After all, Washington averaged nearly 13 points per game this season. He's also added 12.5 points per game in the NBA Finals.
However, he's coming off a six-point game in which he played only 14 minutes and made four field goals. Of those four field goal attempts, he nailed two for three from downtown. As long as this game isn't a 48-point blowout, I'd like to think Washington will get his typical 36+ minutes in the game.
Let's back Washington to score at least 12 points tonight.

Jaylen Brown Under 3.5 Assists (+100) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
While Dallas allows plenty of assists to shooting guards this season, Jaylen Brown has been inconsistent in that category.
After all, Brown has added at least four assists in only 20% of his last 20 games. He's also nailed this line in only four of his last ten. In addition, Brown only contributed two assists in Game 4 and will more than likely be aggressive offensively after adding only 10 points in the Game 4 loss.
Let Derrick White take advantage of the assists that Dallas allows the opposition's shooting guards to make.

Daniel Gafford Under 4.5 Rebounds (-158) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Daniel Gafford is losing serious minutes to Dereck Lively II. He's played no more than 16 minutes in each of the last two games after Lively II contributed double-doubles with 22+ minutes in both games.
With that, Gafford has contributed no more than four rebounds in each of his last two games and also hauled in just three rebounds in the first game of the series when he played only 14 minutes in that one, too.
As long as Lively stays out of foul trouble, Gafford won't get most of tonight's minutes at center. Take his Under.
