Miami vs Boston: Best Bets and Player Props for Game 2

Must Read

G Payton Pritchard (BOS): Over 7.5 Points

Pritchard has come alive as one of the best all-around backup point guards in the league this season. Averaging 19 PPG on 40% shooting from deep in April due to gaining some extra minutes as the C’s rested starters, that confidence translated into Game 1 where he dropped 8 points, 5 assists, and 4 boards on a +19 performance that propelled Boston to a large lead.

Looking to Game 2, expect the Celtics to get Pritchard some open looks that he never turns away from deep. In four career playoff games against Miami where he plays 20+ minutes, Payton has gone for 18/10/14/8 points off the bench, hitting this “over” in each outing.

G Duncan Robinson (MIA): Over 6.0 PTS

In Game 2s throughout his career, Duncan Robinson has averaged  10.7 points while scoring in double figures in seven of those twelve games. Although Robinson played just fifteen minutes in Game 1, look for Coach Spo to give Duncan more run in this game with nothing to lose as Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier’s absences will be felt on the offensive end once again.

Haywood Highsmith is a better defender than Duncan, but as we saw last game, the Heat will need to go more offensive at times throughout this game for a chance to even the series up. Duncan has only been under this point prop in 6 of 19 career playoff games against Boston.
