Celtics vs. Heat player props, odds, 2022 NBA playoff picks for Game 7: Jimmy Butler under 28.5 points

Jayson Tatum has played at least 40 minutes in three of the last four games of the Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. Tatum is expected to play most of Sunday night’s Game 7 as well. He scored 30 points and grabbed nine rebounds on Friday night, hitting the over on both of his player props. 

Caesars Sportsbook lists his point total at 28.5 for Sunday night’s showdown in the latest NBA player props. Meanwhile, Tatum’s over-under for total rebounds has been set at 7.5. Before making any NBA prop picks for Game 7 of the 2022 Eastern Conference finals, you need to see the Heat vs. Celtics prop predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

Top NBA player prop bets for Celtics vs. Heat

After simulating Game 7 of Heat vs. Celtics 10,000 times, the model predicts that Miami small forward Jimmy Butler goes under 28.5 total points. Butler has now reached the 40-point mark in three games this postseason, but he has had trouble with consistency. He followed the previous 40-plus point outings with 23 points and 29 points, respectively.

In addition, he had been held to 27 combined points in the three games prior to Friday’s explosive outing. Butler had to play 46 strenuous minutes in Game 6, so it will be difficult for him to have another high-scoring game two days later. He averaged 21.4 points per game during the regular season and is averaging 26.9 points in the playoffs, both of which fall under his listed total for Game 7. 

SportsLine’s model expects him to go under his total on Sunday night, as he is scoring 23.5 points in the latest simulations.
