Friday 01:00am: Indiana Pacers @ Boston Celtics
TV: TNT Sports
It’s time for game two of the Eastern Conference Finals at the TD Garden on Thursday night as the Boston Celtics boast a 1-0 lead against the Indiana Pacers in their best of seven series.
The Pacers had the perfect opportunity to snatch game one on the road, however, costly turnovers and Jaylen Brown’s three pointer sent the game to overtime before the Celtics ground out the win.
We’re back for game two and we’ve got a value Bet Builder in mind!
Jayson Tatum To Score 30+ Points
Boston’s main man Jayson Tatum was brilliant in game one, with the forward putting up 36 points.
Tatum seems to be asserting his dominance as we get deeper in the play-offs, with the 26-year-old putting up big numbers in his last few games. In his last five outings he’s ended up with 36, 25, 33, 33, 25.
He’s taken over 25 shots in three of Boston’s last four play-off games and Tatum is fully leaning into the Mamba mentality from his hero Kobe Bryant.
Tatum will know the importance of going up 2-0 in this series before the Celtics go on the road for games three and four so expect him to get shots up. Tatum To Score 30+ Points is our first Bet Builder pick.
Jayson Tatum Over 10.5 Rebounds
Sticking with Tatum, we’re expecting him to crash the glass once again. He’s been brilliant in the rebounding department in the play-offs and he’s averaging 10.5 boards per game.
Tatum, who is stepping up to help in the absence of big man Kristaps Porzingis, had 12 rebounds in game one and he’s had 11 or more boards in seven of his last nine outings. We’re expecting that trend to continue so Tatum Over 10.5 Rebounds is next up.
Tyrese Haliburton 4+ Made Threes
From the Celtics to the Pacers now and we’re on Tyrese Haliburton to Make 4+ Threes.
The point guard isn’t afraid to put it up from beyond the arc as Haliburton demonstrated in game one by getting up 14 three-point attempts.
Haliburton has attempted 10 or more threes in five of his last seven outings and he’s got almost unlimited range on his shot.
The 24-year-old has made four or more threes in five of his last seven games and that should continue now he’s had a chance to feel out Boston’s defence in game one.
Myles Turner Over 16.5 Points
Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner are the Pacers’ big three and we’re expecting the latter to put in another solid performance in game two.
The big man put up 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in game one and he’ll be keen to follow that up on Thursday night as Indiana look to steal one on the road.
Turner averaged 17 points in the regular season and he’s put up that tally in his last three play-off games.
The 28-year-old can also shoot the three. He’s attempting around five per game and he’s averaging 2.5 made threes per outing, with a percentage of 48.8. That solid record will help him get to his 17 points.
Myles Turner To Record 2+ Blocks
We’re sticking with Indiana’s center for our final Bet Builder selection which is Turner To Record 2+ Blocks.
Turner averaged 1.9 blocks per game in the regular season and his block tally in his last six games reads: 2, 4, 2, 2, 3, 3.
He’s Indiana’s main rim protector and he’s top three in blocks in the play-offs. He’ll swat at least couple of shots on Thursday night.
