The Boston Celtics ran over the Miami Heat in Game 3, and we're featuring our top Celtics vs. Heat player props and expert picks for Monday based on the best NBA odds.
Following a dominant performance in Game 3, the Boston Celtics are looking to carry their momentum forward as they face the Miami Heat in Game 4, set for Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT at Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla. Building on their success on the road, the Celtics can push the Heat to the brink of elimination with a win on Monday.
The Celtics enter Monday as 10.5-point favorites across our best sports betting sites. Jimmy Butler's absence seems to be throwing the Heat off balance, especially against the favorites in the NBA Championship odds race.

Celtics vs. Heat prop bet predictions for Monday
Jaylen Brown Over 0.5 blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A favorite among the NBA Finals MVP odds, Jaylen Brown has been slightly inconsistent on the offensive end against the Heat in this series. However, he's been a disruptive force on the defensive side, and the three-time All-Star is reminding voters why he shouldn't be an NBA All-Defensive team snub yet again.
Brown's active defense has allowed him to reject shots like he's Jeremy Swayman and the Heat are the Toronto Maple Leafs. He's blocked a shot in each game this series after closing out his regular season with two blocks against the New York Knicks.
With the Heat allowing the ninth-most blocked shots to small forwards in the regular season (0.86), we love the value in these +120 odds. While the odds imply only a 45.45% probability Brown blocks at least one shot, according to our odds converter, a $10 wager pays out $22.
Best odds: +120 via bet365
Kristaps Porzingis Over 1.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's unfair that Kristaps Porzingis is arguably the Celtics' fifth-most-important starter. Boston just gets to have it all, in every sport, and the rest of the country can't do anything about it; just like Miami can't seem to do anything about Porzingis' 3-point shooting.
The 7-foot-2 Latvian has been a problem for a Heat defense that's been one of the best but ranks in the back half of the league in 3-pointers allowed per game (13). Clearly, Porzingis' floor stretching ability is hurting Miami.
After going 7-for-17 from behind the arc in the first three games of the series, Porzingis' odds to hit two-plus 3-pointers are as short as -131. Those odds imply a 56.71% probability he hits the Over, with our odds leading to a $8.20 profit on a $10 bet.
Best odds: -122 via FanDuel
Bam Adebayo Over 32.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐
The fact that the Heat were able to steal a game in Boston and guarantee this series will go at least five games is a testament to Erik Spoelstra. He could probably win a playoff game with the Washington Wizards' roster and even have Jordan Poole paying attention during timeouts.
Despite being down Butler against the NBA's best team, Spoelstra has been able to rely on his other All-Star. Bam Adebayo has been the Heat's most reliable player, and the offense is running through him. Adebayo is averaging 32.6 points, rebounds, and assists in the series.
If the Heat are going to even the series, Adebayo is going to need to continue putting up big numbers against a Celtics defense that allowed 40.2 points, rebounds, and assists to fives in the regular season.
The -108 odds imply a 51.92% probability of the Over hitting with a $10 bet paying out $19.26.
Best odds: -108 via DraftKings
