Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Boston Celtics ATS -2
The Celtics only being the two-point favorites at the time of writing must be factoring in the questionable availability of both Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Horford (toe) in the frontcourt. This may be a recurring theme with several players over the course of this final week, as Boston has already locked up home-court advantage throughout the entirety of the playoffs as a result of securing the league's best overall record.
Milwaukee trampled the Celtics the last time it played host, winning 135-102 after leading 75-38 at halftime. A lot has changed since that Jan. 11 meeting, however, especially over the last week or so with the Bucks having lost four in a row and six of their last seven games, including three in a row to teams that are currently a combined 107 games under the .500 mark.
It's incredibly difficult to trust Milwaukee at the moment, and with a two-point spread in favor of the best team in basketball, how could you not like those odds?
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Jayson Tatum OVER 24.5 Points
Jayson Tatum's lowest scoring night of the campaign came during that embarrassing loss to the Bucks, although he was limited to just 15 minutes of action with the game essentially being out of reach from the get-go.
The end result of this fourth and final meeting won't affect Boston's standing, but from a mental standpoint, you have to think it would be nice for the team to know it's capable of taking a game in Milwaukee's backyard if the two teams clash when it matters most. The same rings true for Tatum, as well, as surely he'd like to bounce back after the Bucks held him to his one single-digit outing.
Tatum has only reached the OVER on 24.5 points in four of his last seven games, not including his last two games in which the All-Star forward connected on a combined 12-of-30 from the field. Should the Celtics miss bodies, he'll have more of a runway to shoot and exceed the aforementioned total.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Jrue Holiday OVER 10.5 Points
A scoring prop for Jrue Holiday comes with its reservations since he's usually the fifth option in Boston's starting lineup offensively and is prominently called upon for his defensive chops.
Regardless, Holiday has hit the OVER on 10.5 points in four of his last six games since returning from a shoulder injury. He's also playing against a team he suited up for from 2020 through 2023, which provides some added incentive since players tend to bring it just a little bit more against their former squads.
