The Golden State Warriors host the Boston Celtics at the Chase Center Monday in Game 5 with the NBA Finals knotted up at 2 games apiece. Tip-off is set for 9 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we list the best value prop bets from Tipico Sportsbook‘s 2022 NBA Finals Game 5 odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Warriors were able to rid themselves of their 4th-quarter woes and topple the Celtics in Game 4.
Golden State got past the Celtics thanks to a 43-point explosion from 2-time MVP G Stephen Curry, who leads the NBA Finals with a 34.3 points per game average.
The Warriors won Game 4 in Boston 107-97. The Celtics will now be tasked with winning in the Bay Area. They have to either take Game 5 or Game 7, both of which will be in San Francisco.

Celtics SG Jaylen Brown 3 pointers: OVER 2.5 (-127)
Jaylen Brown has consistently been the Celtics’ best offensive player. Tatum and Brown are tied for the 2nd-most points per game in the Finals, and Brown has been far more efficient.
Brown shot 36% from deep this season and has shot at least 8 attempts from deep in 3 of 4 Finals games. He’s averaging over 7 attempts from deep and has hit at least 3 in 2 of the 4 games.
Warriors SG Jordan Poole points: OVER 12.5 (-113)
If the Celtics are smart and make adjustments, they’ll be sending double teams at Curry more consistently. That should free up Poole, who had 14 points in Game 4.
Poole has hit this total in 6 of 9 games throughout the Dubs’ last 2 series.

Warriors SF Andrew Wiggins points: UNDER 17.5 (-110)
Wiggins’ help on both ends of the court has been instrumental in the Warriors’ success. However, at 17.5, and for this value, I’d fade the former No. 1 overall pick.
He’s gone over this total in just 7 of 20 games and has topped 20 just once. Wiggins hovers around this total and has gone under it in both of the Warriors’ NBA Finals wins.

Warriors PF Draymond Green assists: OVER 6.5 (+110)
As noted, the Celtics’ drop coverage has limited Green’s effectiveness offensively. They should start to play more aggressively.
After being benched for a key stretch in the 4th quarter, Green should play Game 5 with a chip on his shoulder as well. Green has hit this assist total in 2 of his last 3 games and in 3 of his last 5.
