Derrick White Over 17.5 points (-125) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

White is clearly in the Christmas spirit, having scored 19-plus points in six of eight games this December, yet BetMGM still lists him at just 17.5 points today.

Yes, Jaylen Brown’s return does mean fewer shots for White, but he has still scored 31-plus in the last two games he played alongside Brown. Another concern is the spread, as White would likely sit the fourth quarter if the Celtics lead by more than 20 points after three. However, the Pacers have covered four of the last five meetings between these teams, meaning this game may be closer than expected.

Pascal Siakam Over 5.5 rebounds (-145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Siakam has been a monster on the boards in recent matchups with the Celtics.

The Pacers forward grabbed eight or more rebounds in all three meetings he played last season and has cashed this prop six of the last eight times he has faced Boston, including the 2023–24 Eastern Conference Finals. I placed this bet at BetMGM because most of the best sports betting sites have already raised his line to 6.5 rebounds today, and taking 5.5 at -145 offers a better price than, for example, 6.5 at -102 at DraftKings.

Payton Pritchard Over 2.5 three-pointers made (-175) ⭐⭐⭐

Pritchard has made three or more 3-pointers in five of his last seven games. Over a larger sample, he has hit three or more triples in 11 of his last 16.

I bet Over 2.5 three-pointers made (-175) at BetMGM because most of the best sports betting apps list him at 3.5. While -175 may seem like an expensive line for some bettors, it still offers better value than taking Over 3.5 three-pointers made (+125) at BetRivers. For higher potential odds, consider parlaying this bet with Pacers +12 at Caesars for +229 (FanDuel's trading room offers just +183).
