Boston Celtics vs. Denver Nuggets Player Prop Picks

Which players will dominate this Celtics vs. Nuggets game?

Jamal Murray Over 22.5 Points (-106 FD) & 30+ Points (+440 FD)

Few players rise to the occasion during high-pressure moments like Jamal Murray, who is just one of seven players in NBA history to average at least 25 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds in the playoffs (min. 10 games). 

This potential Finals preview certainly qualifies as an important contest, so Murray will likely be in top form. Additionally, it’s a decent matchup for him. Boston’s defense allows the fourth most wide open three-point attempts, the most above the break three-point attempts, and the largest off-the-dribble three-point frequency (via NBA.com). Murray can exploit these tendencies, as he shoots nearly 44 percent from above the break and 42 percent on pull-up threes. His outside shot will be a massive weapon here against Boston’s elite defense. 

In their previous matchup on January 19th, Murray exploded for 35 points on 15/21 shooting from the field. He only racked up three free throw attempts, so that did not inflate his total too. 

For the bets to have a positive expected value, Murray needs to score 23 points at least 52 percent of the time and 30 points at least 19 percent of the time. 

Kristaps Porzingis 2+ 3PM (-215 DK)

Nikola Jokic is a slow north to south defender who struggles to explode into a contest. As a result, he will not be able to step out in time when the opponent runs a pick-and-pop out of a high ball screen. That’s Kristaps Porzingis’ bread and butter; he is shooting 37 percent on over five attempts per game from deep. 

Porzingis has made two threes in 14 of his past 17 games (82 percent), which includes a 3/5 performance against Denver. Based on his odds, he needs to hit this line at least 69 percent of the time for the bet to have a positive expected value.
