NBA Finals SGP: +1000 Boston Celtics @ Dallas Mavericks

Game 3 is set for tonight in Texas as the Dallas Mavericks will aim to climb back from an 0-2 series deficit against the Boston Celtics. The Mavs have been unable to build any momentum, but the potential absence of Kristaps Porzingis tonight could change the whole trajectory of the series. Tonight should be fun as the Mavs are 2.5-point favorites on their home court, so we worked up an ultimate same-game parlay to give you action on the game.
Valued at +1000, let’s ride!

Legs 1 & 2: Jayson Tatum 25+ Points, 8+ Rebounds
The narrative about Jayson Tatum being “carried" has been everywhere as Tatum’s shooting woes were bailed out by the rest of the Celtics, but my gut says that Tatum will want to assert his dominance tonight. Despite scoring just 16 and 18 points across the first two games, he has still averaged 19 attempts from the field. I don’t see a scenario where Tatum takes any less than 20 shots tonight, given the rhetoric he’s been hearing, so I hope he’s due for some positive regression as we’re going to tout him to score 25. Looking at his rebound production, he’s grabbed at least eight boards in 14 of 16 games this postseason, so we’re not too concerned about that leg cashing.
Leg 3: Derrick White 3+ Threes
Derrick White has, averaging nine attempts per game from deep. He always has the green light, so we’ll trust that he can drill at least three tonight once again.
Legs 4 & 5: Jrue Holiday 10+ Points, 5+ Rebounds
How about the Jrue Holiday legacy game in Game 2? Who saw that one coming? He’s scored at least ten points in nine straight games while averaging 9.3 rebounds over his last four games. We just need 10 points and five rebounds from him tonight, which he’s shown to be fully capable of meeting.
Legs 6 & 7: Luka Doncic 3+ Threes, 8+ Rebounds
Luka Doncic was trying to put the Mavs on his back in the first two games, but it still wasn’t enough. They’ll need contributions from Kyrie Irving, especially tonight, if they want to get back into this series, but it all starts with Luka. We’ll eye him up to drill at least three threes, as he’s done in nine straight games, and also back him to grab at least eight rebounds, as he’s done in nine of his last 11 games. Sounds simple enough to me.
Legs 8 & 9: PJ Washington Jr. 10+ Points, 5+ Rebounds
Outside of Luka, PJ Washington Jr. has been the second most valuable Mavericks this series, averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds. He comfortably exceeded the ten-point and five-rebound marks in the first two games, so we’ll trust that he can do it again to close out our parlay.
