The Boston Celtics will be looking to make history as the first team in NBA history to come back and win a series after going down 3-0. They snuck away with a 104-103 win in Game 6 against the Miami Heat and will now get to spend their Memorial Day back in Boston for Game 7. Our experts have been covering the entire series, such as this article for Game 6.

Given how evenly matched these teams seem to be, rather than predicting a winner, our experts have their Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks for Game 7 with odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook.

As mentioned, the Celtics were able to steal Game 6 down in Miami to force a Game 7. They were trailing 103-102 with just three seconds left. Boston’s Marcus Smart shot a three-pointer shortly before the buzzer that missed. However, Derrick White, who originally inbounded the ball but was not blocked out, grabbed the rebound and made a layup for the 104-103 win at the buzzer.

It was as dramatic a finish as one could expect, and the win made the Celtics just the fourth team in NBA history to even force a Game 7 after being down 3-0. However, no team has ever completed the full comeback to win the series. Will this Boston team be able to make history? We’re here to provide insight with our Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks.

It’s clear that oddsmakers believe that Boston can pull off the unthinkable, as they are eight-point home favorites for the Heat vs. Celtics Game 7. It’s difficult to back such a significant point spread, especially after seeing how the series has played out.

That’s why our experts are locked into Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks instead. Miami’s defense has been stout throughout the 2023 NBA playoffs, and Boston’s has stepped up in a big way the last two games, However, there’s still one Heat player we think can go over his points prop - Bam Adebayo - and we’re taking a unique approach targeting two of his markets with our top Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks.

There’s no denying that the Miami Heat will go as far as Jimmy Butler takes them. Obviously, the Celtics know that too, and have been able to shut him down the last two games. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra openly stated that someone needs to step up, and Adebayo needs to be one of those guys.

He had no problem doing so in the regular season, as he put up point totals of 19, 23, 28 and 30. Some of those matchups were even without Butler in the lineup, demonstrating that he could perform even when Boston was keyed in on him. Similarly, Adebayo scored 20 and 22 points against the Celtics in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Those games were each in Boston, where Game 7 will be Monday night. Therefore, we’re confident making the first of our Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks on Adebayo Over 16.5 points (-129 at Caesars Sportsbook).

We mentioned that the other selection of our top Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks was also focused on Adebayo, and it’s in the way that most fans think of him - as a rebounder. While that may be true, he hasn’t been able to demonstrate that against Boston. Adebayo eclipsed eight rebounds just once in their four regular season meetings.

A similar trend has also occurred in the Eastern Conference Finals, as he’s done so in just two of the six games. It shouldn’t come as a great surprise, as Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Robert Williams III can all bring down boards. After having one of his double-digit rebounding performances in Game 6, Adebayo’s rebounding prop is now a bit inflated, set at 9.5 rebounds.

Given his track record in that regard against the Celtics, the second of our best Heat vs. Celtics player prop picks is on Adebayo Under 9.5 rebounds (-109 at Caesars Sportsbook).
