The NBA playoffs continue to surprise as some teams are struggling a little bit more than the public thought, adding to the unpredictability. Tonight’s three-game slate features the Boston Celtics looking to be the first team to move on to the second round if they can sweep the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers can dispatch the Toronto Raptors and there is a pivotal Game 5 between the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz.

Best NBA Picks and Parlays Today
The first step is locating the new Parlay Builder tab on the OddsShopper home page, which is very simple to do. After that, the user can customize to their heart’s content. OddsShopper offers the parlay bets by state, sportsbooks, and a variety of parlays. This article will be featuring the Prop Party Parlay, which gives up to five player prop bets that will give you the best chance to win based on our Awesemo simulations. The prop party is the most popular betting combo within the Awesemo community and Alex “Awesemo” Baker — the world’s No. 1 daily fantasy player — uses these almost exclusively when he is looking for an edge. It is always a smart idea to bet each wager as a solo piece as a way to build the bankroll. Parlays by their nature are harder to hit, which is why the reward is so large. Monday’s version of the Prop Party features three wagers as of 11:30 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay.
Al Horford Over 10.5 Points
The expected win rate for Al Horford is an even 50% from OddsShopper but the ROI is +105 and the series as a whole would suggest that Game 3 was an anomaly. He did only score three points in 28 minutes but also took just two attempts from the field, a stark contrast from the first two games when Horford scored 20 and 16 points on a total of 23 field-goal attempts. Horford averaged 10.3 points during the regular season and has managed to hit six of his 10 attempts from a 3-point distance. The Nets are 13th in defensive rating among teams in the playoffs right now and Horford is scoring six points per game as a spot-up shooter. The Nets have a long road to get back into this series and Horford can help the Celtics close it out tonight.

Precious Achiuwa Under 11.5 Points
This wager seems like one of the most out-of-place numbers on the night and OddsShopper has an incredible 88% expected win rate. Precious Achiuwa has played under 30 minutes in each game that has not gone into overtime, including Game 4 when Fred VanVleet left the game very early. VanVleet is out once again but that is not going to have a direct effect on Achiuwa, as he has averaged 9.2 points per game during the regular season and under 11 points per game in the playoffs. However, his Game 3 skewed that average when he went nine for 11 from the field and scored 20 points. In the other three games, Achiuwa scored nine, seven and five points on a total of 23 field goal attempts. Joel Embiid has a torn ligament in his thumb but he is still playing close to 40 minutes and can still play well defensively, leaving the under as a strong pick for a -115 ROI.
Luka Doncic Over 7.5 Assists
These three picks would net a return of +616 according to the Awesemo NBA Parlay Calculator and it had to be encouraging for Dallas to see Luka Doncic come back from a quad injury to play 34 minutes in Game 4. By all reports, Doncic came away from that game healthy and Dallas heads home with the series practically hanging in the balance. In the first game back, Doncic did only have eight potential assists and was a bit tentative during some possessions but he averaged 8.7 assists per game during the regular season on 17 potential assists per game. During the regular season, he also averaged 56.1 passes made compared to 45 in Game 4. This number is very fair for a player who is the caliber of Doncic and it should be expected he gets back to his normal game tonight, leaving him with an expected win rate of 55% from OddsShopper.
