The Boston Celtics dropped Game 1 at home and now must find a way to bounce back against the Miami Heat. They’ve managed to win road playoff games before, however — they’re on the Eastern Conference Finals despite going .500 at home in the postseason. But with so much on the line for Game 2, even the sharpest bettors can let the best NBA player props slip through their fingers, especially the below Jaylen Brown player prop.
Enter Stokastic’s NBA Bet Pro. Instead of manually sifting through each game to find value, bettors can now sort every prop market by expected ROI. NBA Bet Pro pulls lines from every major sportsbook to help you find the best deal available for that given play. If you’re not convinced, see how much money you make after a one-week free trial of the product.
Stokastic’s NBA Bet Pro model is all over these NBA player props for Friday’s playoff action.
Today’s Top NBA Player Prop | Heat-Celtics Game 2
Jaylen Brown Prop O/U 3.5 Assists
The highest-value NBA player prop on tonight’s board stands out at PointsBet. Jaylen Brown averaged 3.5 assists per game in the regular season and is averaging 3.5 assists per game in the playoffs, yet we can get the under for this prop in the plus money
NBA Bet Pro projects Brown for only 2.8 assists tonight. While his averages suggest the over and under should have the same price, the books have stacked the juice on the over, which creates even more value on this side of the market.
PointsBet is charging +105, or 48.8%, for the under, giving us a solid amount of edge relative to the under’s expected win rate of 52%. If you’re yet to sign up for PointsBet, you can get five second-chance bets worth up to $50 apiece! Take advantage of that deal to build your bankroll before it disappears.

Jimmy Butler Prop O/U 6.5 Rebounds
NBA Bet Pro also advises you to back Jimmy Butler on the glass. Butler averaged only 5.9 rebounds per game in the regular season but has stepped up in the playoffs — he is averaging 6.5 rebounds per game in the postseason and should have another solid showing tonight.
Butler should come down with a respectable 7.2 rebounds tonight. With the over priced at +112 (47.2%) at BetRivers, we’re getting a great deal relative to the over’s expected win rate (49%). Lock in this prop before the number disappears.
