Get Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks prediction, picks, and odds for Game 3 on 6-12, plus NBA Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
Derrick White's been a beacon of supporting scoring for a balanced Celtics attack, and our NBA picks think he'll continue to give the Mavs headaches as the Finals shift to Dallas for Game 3.Teams going home down 2-0 in the NBA Finals and then favored in Game 3 have gone 6-0 outright since 2003. NBA odds make the Dallas Mavericks home favorites over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, but our Celtics vs. Mavs predictions expect Derrick White to bring the fight to Texas.
But even if Porzingis is full-go, realize White has cleared this points prop in 11 of 16 postseason games, including each of his last three and six of his last seven. His 3-pointer rate has not fallen in the Finals, averaging 9.0 looks per game in the first three rounds and now going 7-of-18 through two games. Those shots alone endanger White’s points prop; he's hit at least five 3-pointers three times in these playoffs.
Adding that passer-shooter combination to the Mavericks moneyline boosts this same-game parlay’s payout, given how White’s and Tatum’s success should logically run counter to Dallas winning the game. A line favoring Dallas is very much an exaggerated jump in the spread, given Boston was a 6.5- and 7-point favorite in the first two games. Adjusting that kind of spread for usual homecourt advantages would have made the Celtics 1.5- or 2-point favorites in Game 3. The incentive of the 2-0 deficit explains the additional Mavs’ expected edge.
