Robert Williams Under 7.5 Points (-113)

Robert Williams had a backwards outing in Game 1, producing well offensively (14 points) but struggling to make an impact on D (one block and a team-worst plus/minus of -14).

The end result was Williams playing just 26 minutes, the fewest among the Boston Celtics' starters, as the Celtics put more shooting on the floor and gave Malcolm Brogdon 37 minutes off the bench. Boston also got a nice game from Derrick White, who dropped in 11 points and went 3 of 5 from deep after being removed from the starting five in the previous series.

I think we could see Boston -- a team that took 41.9 threes per game in the regular season -- go with more shooting today after they attempted just 29 three-pointers in Game 1, and doing so would mean less run for Williams.

Even if Williams starts and sees good minutes, he could still go under this points prop. He's scored seven or fewer points in seven of his past nine games, and the law of averages says he's due to miss some shots today after he went 6 of 6 from the field in Game 1.

I think there are a lot of paths to this under cashing.

Caleb Martin Over 1.5 Made Threes (+130)

It was pretty apparent in Game 1 that Caleb Martin is going to be a key piece in this series for the Miami Heat.

Martin played 30 minutes off the bench and finished with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and a block. He was outstanding on both ends. Most importantly for this prop, Martin attempted seven triples and hit three of them.

Kevin Love and Max Strus are going to find it tough defensively versus Boston, and that should lead to plenty of minutes for Martin.

Despite the big Game 1, Martin to hit multiple threes is at +130. I think this is a great prop to pounce on.

You can also take Martin over 9.5 points (-102). If he hits at least two threes, he'll have a great chance to cash the over on his points prop, as well.
