Today is an exciting day for NBA Basketball, as we have Game 3 of the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. Let’s get into today’s NBA Best Bets of the Day!

Jimmy Butler Over 26.5 

-122 Odds on FanDuel

Jimmy Butler has been the team’s focal point offensively during these playoffs, as he is the only Heat to trust for scoring. The Miami Heat have been struggling on this side of the ball, but Jimmy hasn’t minded putting the team on his back. 

Furthermore, he has hit this over 5 of the last 6 games, including 4 games over 30 points. I understand that -122 odds are not ideal, but this feels like a sure thing. 

After the last game’s press conference, he mentioned the team got embarrassed. With that being said, Jimmy Butler will do whatever it takes to not get blown out again. 

Also, if you wanted better value, I wouldn’t blame one for wanting to do Jimmy Butler for over 27.5 points (+100 on FanDuel). 

NBA Best Bets of the Day: Jaylen Brown over 6.5 Rebounds 

-105 Odds on FanDuel

I expect Jaylen Brown to have plenty of minutes in this game 3 matchup, as the series is split evenly and everything’s on the line. Brown has hit this over in 4 of the last 5 games, with his only miss being 5 rebounds in game 6 against the Bucks. 

To add on, the total points line for tonight is set at 208, indicating many expect this to be low scoring. If this is low-scoring, expect a lot of missed shots and rebounds. 

Brown is a player who will play plenty of minutes, indicating he should have opportunities to grab rebounds and get at least 7. 

Same Game Parlay 

+116 Odds on FanDuel 

Tatum has hit this number in seven straight playoff games. In all of those games, he has made at least two three-pointers. 

As mentioned earlier, Butler should continue to put points on the board. Also, Butler has had at least four rebounds in all but one game during these playoffs. 

Marcus Smart should get this number, as he has had 7,10, and 12 assists in the last three games. 

NBA Best Bets of the Day Recap
