The Boston Celtics are on the brink of victory against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, and we have Jayson Tatum player props available for Game 5 on Monday, with the most favorable NBA odds.

The Boston Celtics, favored to win the NBA championship, were on the verge of securing the title in Game 4. However, they stumbled and faced a devastating 38-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks on their own court.

Despite finishing with only 15 points, five rebounds, and three assists in the 122-84 blowout, Celtics star Jayson Tatum remains a top contender for the NBA Finals MVP award. He will need to deliver a standout performance in Game 5 to improve his chances of winning the accolade.

The series is returning to Boston, where we expect Tatum and the rest of the team to step up their game in the elimination match. Game 5 is scheduled for Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden.

SGP: Jayson Tatum 5-plus assists & Celtics ML ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I believe in Tatum’s assist prop, and I am also anticipating a strong rebound performance from Boston on Monday.

I can combine those two picks in a same-game parlay for a discounted price of -125 at BetMGM. DraftKings has it at -130, and ESPN BET offers it at -147.

Tatum has dished out five or more assists in all but two games this postseason, and the Celtics have not played a series longer than five games during the playoffs.

I prefer to have action on Game 5 at -130 or better.

Top odds: -125 on BetMGM
