Jayson Tatum to score first field goal (+550)
Boston’s star forward is averaging 23.2 points per game in the series, 26.0 points per game in games two through five. If the Celtics are going to stave off elimination, maybe it makes sense for them to get their No. 1 scorer the ball early and let him go to work. Tatum had Boston’s first field goal attempt and first field goal in Game 1, on his way to scoring 12 points on 3-of-17 shooting, but he has not had the game’s first field goal yet in the Final.
Klay Thompson Over 20.5 points (-105)
The Warriors shooting guard struggled early in the Finals, going 10-for-33 from the field in the first two games, on his way to averaging 13.0 points per game. His production has improved in the next three games, as Thompson has averaged 21.3 points per game on 43.8% shooting, 41.2% on three-pointers. That is trending in the right direction but when combined with Thompson’s recent history of monster performances in Game 6, it is no surprise that bettors expect a big night from Game 6 Klay.

Steph Curry Over 28.5 points (-120)
The leading candidate to win NBA Finals MVP, Curry was held to 16 points on 7-of-22 shooting, including 0-for-9 on threes, in Game 5. It seems highly unlikely that he will get locked down again, especially considering that Curry was averaging 34.3 points per game through the first four games of the Finals.
Steph Curry Over 4.5 three-pointers (-115)
The best shooter in the world just went 0-for-9 on three-point attempts in Game 5, the first time that he has gone without a made three-pointer in 133 career playoff games. In the first four games of the Finals, Curry had dropped 25 threes, so it is understandable if bettors believe that Game 5 was an aberration and expect a more typical Steph Curry performance in Game 6.
