1Q props have been very good to us recently so I’ll be running back some 1Q plays in this Heat at Celtics Game 3. I have 4 plays tonight and they depend on Jimmy Butler and Jayson Tatum rebounding the ball in the 1Q.
In 12 playoff games, Jimmy has 1+ 1Q rebound in 11 and 2+ 1Q rebounds in the last 4. Butler will see 10+ 1Q minutes and is hunting for rebounds. He also has a steal in every playoff game and I’d be shocked if that streak ended tonight. We only need one PJ Tucker 1Q rebound tonight and he seems probable to play tonight. He’s had 4 1Q rebounds in 3/4 games against the Celtics this season and G1 and G2. PJ and Jimmy both really go after every rebound they can get and I think they can get us a couple in the 1Q.
Plays:
0.7U Butler 2+ 1Q reb. / Butler 1+ steal -140 (DK)
0.63U Butler 2+ 1Q reb. / Tatum 1+ 1Q reb. -125 (DK)
Tatum has 2+ 1Q rebounds 4 of his last 5, 1+ 1Q rebound in every playoff game, and 1+ 1Q assist in 12/13 playoff games. Jaylen Brown also has 1+ 1Q rebound in 9 straight. Marcus Smart has a 1Q assist in 10/11 playoff games and had 4 last game against the Heat. We only need one from him tonight and he’s averaging 17.0 potential assists in his L2 games.
Plays:
0.5U Brown 1+ 1Q reb. / Tatum 1+ 1Q reb. / Tucker 1+ 1Q reb. / Butler 1+ 1Q reb. +110 (DK)
0.6U Smart 1+ 1Q ast. / Tatum 1+ 1Q ast. / Tatum 1+ 1Q reb. -120 (DK)
