Warriors vs. Celtics Game 5 Prop Bet Odds & Pick for Monday, June 13 (2022)
Here is my favorite prop bet for Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals.
Klay Thompson OVER 19.5 POINTS | -106 at FanDuel
This may sound like a contradiction, but I actually think Thompson is hurting the Warriors at the moment. I am not saying they would be better without him, but they definitely would be better if he played smarter basketball. Curry needs help and it seems like Thompson is desperate to be the second gun, which is why I am playing this pick.
Despite not playing well, he is taking so many shots that I can’t pass up this one. He is taking 17.5 field goal attempts per game since returning, and this number increases to 18 at home and 19.4 at home when playing 30+ minutes. He is averaging 37 mpg in his last 10, and the books are suggesting he won’t get 20 points in almost 40 minutes on 20 shots and 10 three-point attempts? I am sorry, I don’t believe it. Warriors will live or die with Steph and Klay’s threes, and if Thompson is going down, he will go down shooting.
And if he can’t score, I will go down with him at least knowing he tried. Good luck, and I predict we will be back at the Chase Center for NBA Finals for a Game 7.
