NBA Player Prop Bet Tips: Celtics vs. Pacers (Saturday)

The Celtics are just two wins away from their second NBA Finals in three years as they hold a 2-0 lead. Can they force an elimination game or could the Pacers get a key home win? Let's look at some players who could make an impact. Here are my favorite NBA player prop bet picks for tonight's playoff game between the Celtics and Pacers.

Derrick White over 2.5 three-pointers (-135)

Game 2 ended up not being as close as the first, and the Celtics did something no one has ever done in these playoffs: They won Game 2. Boston is so good that you can't focus on shutting down one player because then they'll have someone else to fill the void. Jaylen Brown scored 40 points in Game 2, so the Pacers could try to isolate him, but White was another sensational option in the backcourt. He hit that three-pointer on eight of 12 attempts, including three in a row.

Pascal Siakam over 23.5 points (-104)

The Pacers are in trouble, trailing 2-0 against the best overall team in the league. What makes matters worse is that they may be without their star. Tyrese Halliburton left Game 2 with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Game 3. Hamstring injuries are always tricky injuries, so he may not be at full strength even if he plays. Siakam has been a fantastic addition to Indiana because he contributes a lot on both ends. He has five straight 20-plus point games and has scored more points in five of seven total games against the Celtics this year.
