We’re headed to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. With the Celtics up 2-0 in the series, the Pacers could really use a win in tonight’s matchup.
However, there’s potential that the Pacers could be shorthanded tonight. Tyrese Haliburton left Game 2 with a hamstring injury and could miss tonight’s Game 3.
Knowing that info, I’ve added a handful of PrizePicks props for tonight’s NBA matchup.
Like every NBA PrizePicks article, we’ll give our four-player props you can use for a four-leg entry Power Play. A two-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -137 for each prop. A three-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -141. A four-leg entry NBA PrizePicks Power Play will give you implied odds of -128 for each bet.
Getting -128 on the same prop is better than getting -137 or -141. Moving forward, we’ll stick to four-leg entries. Here are our top NBA PrizePicks player predictions for Sunday’s Game 7s.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

In the first two games of this series, Derrick White has averaged 14 attempts per game in 39 minutes a night. He’s also already attempted 16 threes and has drilled seven of them. In addition, White has hit all five foul-shot attempts of this series.
In the two games, he’s averaged 19 points per game. However, he only scored 15 points in Game 1 but added 23 points in Game 2.
Ultimately, he’s got a really good matchup against the Pacers. Indiana ranks 26th in points allowed to shooting guards this season. Therefore, it was really no surprise in Game 2 when Jaylen Brown and Derrick White took over. Both are listed as shooting guards and combined for 63 points in the win.
That said, I would like White to continue his offensive success tonight.
Jrue Holiday More Than 5.5 Rebounds
Jrue Holiday has hit at least seven rebounds in three of his last five games. He’s also hit this line in one of two games against the Pacers in this series.
Still, Holiday has a really good matchup against the Pacers. Indiana ranks 27th in rebounds allowed to point guards, and overall, Holiday has nailed this line 73% of the time against the Pacers since last season.
The fast pace of play from the Pacers typically works in Holiday’s favor on the glass.
Payton Pritchard Less Than 2.5 Rebounds
On the other hand, Payton Pritchard hangs out around the perimeter for most of the game. He’s added just two rebounds in 42 minutes against the Pacers this series.
While the Pacers are, again, bad at preventing rebounds from point guards, Pritchard has only hit this line in one of his last five games. Therefore, I’d suggest backing his Under for tonight’s Game 3.
Pascal Siakam More Than .5 Threes
It’s unclear if the Pacers will have a healthy Tyrese Haliburton. That said, Pascal Siakam will be the guy, regardless. He’s shot 62.5% from the field on 20 shots per game and went 2-for-2 from downtown in Game 2 of the series.
Overall, he’s nailed at least two threes in three of his last five games.
Meanwhile, Boston ranks 27th in threes allowed to power forwards. Siakam has nailed this line in 61% of games this season and has drilled at least one three in 65% of his last 20 games. Even in the last ten, he’s hit this line in 60%.
