Top Warriors vs. Celtics Game 3 Prop Picks: Is Klay Due for a Bounce-Back Effort?

The NBA Finals shift to Boston after a split in Golden State, and Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will look to steal Game 3 on the road. Let's dive in with our top Warriors-Celtics Game 3 prop picks.

The Celtics used a huge fourth quarter to take Game 1, but Golden State bounced back with a commanding blowout win in Game 2. Klay Thompson is struggling through two games, Jayson Tatum has been inconsistent, and Steph Curry remains excellent. Green returned to his bread and butter in Game 2 with a strong defensive effort and great work on the glass while getting teammates involved.

For Game 3, I’m breaking down four of my favorite prop picks and the nice +813 parlay the selections form. Thompson bouncing back is in the cards, along with another productive all-around performance from Green, and an appealing point total for Derrick White.

Here are my top Warriors-Celtics prop picks for Game 3 of the NBA Finals (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence is based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Top NBA Finals Prop Picks

Thompson Over 18.5 points (-120)

Thompson's recent shooting woes are so bad that Steve Kerr left him in for fourth-quarter garbage time during Sunday’s blowout win. He's shot a pedestrian 10-of-33 from beyond the arc while nailing just 4-of-15 triples over the first two games of the NBA Finals. However, he’s still put up games with 15 and 11 points.

The legendary sharpshooter is due for a bounce-back performance in Game 3. He's produced just one streak of three games with fewer than 19 points during the playoffs in 2022, and that spanned from Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets through Game 2 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Expect Golden State to get him involved early and often.

Green Over 5.5 rebounds (-310)

We could certainly take Green’s rebound total at 7.5 for -110 odds, or even drop down to his alternate total of 6.5 at -198. But let's stick with 5.5 as the cornerstone play in a four-leg parlay.

Green is averaging 7.1 boards per game during the 2022 playoffs, and he pulled down at least six in 11 of 18 contests and eight of his last 10. His offensive contributions have been minimal, but he’s making a major impact defensively as a facilitator. Expect that to continue in Game 3.

Green Over 6.5 assists (+120)

Green’s money play at 5.5 boards gives us the chance to grab plus-money odds with a juicy assist total. He’s only averaging 6.3 dimes per game during the playoffs, but Green has topped seven in seven of 18 games, including two of his last three.

Curry has been the primary catalyst for Golden State’s offense. But if Thompson can get going and Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole can pick it up, Green could easily surpass this mark. He ranks eighth in potential assists this postseason with 12.4 per contest.

White Over 11.5 points (-110)

Jayson Tatum struggled in Game 1, and everyone else around him did the same in Game 2. You know who’s been consistently excellent off the bench lately? Yep, it’s Derrick White, who’s scored 12-plus points in five of his last six matchups and both of the NBA Finals games.

White is averaging a healthy 15 points over his last six games, and he’s been a key component of Boston’s offense. His poise and confidence haven’t waivered, so we’re going back to the well for Game 3.

Same-game parlay: Thompson Over 18.5 points (-120) + Green Over 5.5 rebounds (-310) + Green Over 6.5 assists (+120) + White Over 11.5 points (-110) = +813
