Caleb Martin OVER 15 Points
Martin has arguably been the Heat's most consistent scoring threat during this series. The former Nevada Wolfpack star has gone over this number in 4 out of his last 5 games. He scored 25 points in Game 6 while knocking down 4 shots from beyond the arc.
Sure, Boston has a solid defense, but they'll be focused on stopping Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. With so much attention on Miami's two superstars, Martin should find plenty of open looks like he did in Game 6.
As we take a peek at the market, we see that most online sportsbooks have this prop line set at 15.5. That gives us a tad bit of value, especially when you consider that both DraftKings and Caesars aren't favoring the under. Let's bank on another big game from Mr. Martin.
Al Horford UNDER 7 Points
We love Al Horford. It seems like he's been in the league since the Reagan administration, but he just keeps on producing. We cashed an Over ticket on Horford in Game 6 for rebounding, but we're fading him in the scoring department tonight in Game 7. Miami ranks 2nd in paint points allowed, so this isn't a favorable matchup for Horford.
We noticed something with Horford in Game 6 that made us lean towards this play. Every time Horford got the ball, he seemed to get rid of it as quickly as possible to one of his teammates. That's a big reason why he only scored 4 points in Game 6 and only 6 points in Game 5.
In three home games during this series, Horford has yet to go over this point total. The former Florida Gator scored exactly 7 points in Game 1, but we don't even see him getting to that many in Game 7. Take the Under! If you play at Underdog, this play is even sweeter at 7.5 instead of 7.
Bam Adebayo UNDER 17 Points
It's a little weird that PrizePicks has this number at 17 when every online sportsbook except PointsBet has it at 16.5. After big performances in Games 1 and 2, Adebayo has stayed under this number in 4 straight ball games.
The former Kentucky Wildcat scored only 11 points in Game 6, and he shot only 4 of 16 from the field. Adebayo may play a little better tonight, but we still think he stays under 17 points. The Celtics ranks 6th in the league in paint points allowed.
Look for the combination of Al Horford and Robert Williams to slow down Adebayo quite a bit in this game. We'll roll the dice with the Under!
