Atlanta shockingly upset the Celtics in Boston on Tuesday as +610 underdogs to force a Game 6. They return home today and look to take this series to seven games. As the only game on the board, it’ll be more difficult to find three strong angles in this game, but the show must go on!
Here are the best PrizePicks plays for NBA action on Thursday, April 27.
Thursday’s Best NBA PrizePicks Player Predictions
After struggling in the first two games of the series, Trae Young has caught fire. He has scored 32, 35 and 38 points over the last three games. At this rate, how could anyone take the under on Trae? In two regular-season matchups against the Celtics, Young also scored 27 and 35 points. In another must-win scenario, I believe he will show up once again.

It’s a low threshold to clear but for good reason. Despite being a part of the starting five, Clint Capela has steadily seen his minutes decrease throughout this series. He played just 21 minutes last game. Capela is now averaging just 25 MPG and a combined 16.2 PRA per game over these past five. He has stayed under this total in three of the fives games, and the two overs were 20 and 21 PRA games. With Robert Williams and Al Horford manning the paint, the Celtics allow the sixth-fewest points per game to opposing centers on the season. They should hold Capela in check once again.
It’s a bit surprising that Malcolm Brogdon won the Sixth Man of the Year Award when Derrick White was the more valuable piece off the bench. He had a 7.3 Win Share rating compared to Brogdon’s 5.8. White has been balling this postseason, averaging 19.4 points per game, and has cleared this line in four of the five games this series. He also went over this in both regular-season games against the Hawks and should once again find a way to 16 or more.
