As Game 4 of the NBA Finals approached, the Dallas Mavericks seemed to be in trouble against the Boston Celtics. However, they surprised everyone by starting strong, with Luka Doncic leading the charge. Doncic, who is still in the running for NBA Finals MVP, helped the Mavericks dominate the Celtics and come out victorious.

The upcoming Game 5 at TD Garden in Boston on Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) presents an opportunity for the Celtics to secure their first championship since 2008. Favored by 6.5 points at home, the Celtics are heavily expected to win, with NBA championship odds as low as -3500.

Here are our top Mavericks vs. Celtics parlay predictions for Game 5, in addition to our player props and last-minute predictions.

SGP predictions for Mavericks vs. Celtics

Luka Doncic Over 3.5 turnovers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

You can be sure that Doncic will be controlling the ball as much as he can against Boston. Despite facing constant criticism after Game 3, Doncic responded with a strong performance in the 122-84 victory. However, I don’t anticipate another flawless performance in Game 5.

With an abundance of opportunities and an extremely high usage rate against the Celtics defense, turnovers are likely for Doncic. He is currently averaging four turnovers per game in the postseason and had a total of 12 in the first two games at the Garden. The Celtics backcourt will be putting pressure on him, and with Doncic feeling the weight of needing to lead the Mavs to victory, he will be under constant pressure.

The odds of -165 are too low to bet on individually, but they are ideal for starting this SGP. Our odds converter indicates a 62.26% chance that this leg will be successful.

Derrick White Over 1.5 steals + blocks ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Accompanying the turnover machine that is Doncic is the impressive performance of Derrick White when it comes to steals and blocks. Throughout the years, the Celtics have had standout defensive guards like Dennis Johnson and Tony Allen. White has now taken on this role as a defensive stopper and has established himself as the top shot-blocking guard in the NBA.

He is not only blocking shots, but White has also been causing frustration for opposing ball handlers throughout the playoffs. He is averaging 2.1 steals and blocks per game for the postseason and has recorded at least two in seven of his last nine games. His performance in Game 2 at home against Dallas was exceptional, with five steals and blocks.

Boston has tallied 47 steals and blocks against the Mavs in this series so far, and White is expected to maintain that pace in Game 5. These statistics suggest a 66.67% chance of this outcome occurring.

Jrue Holiday Over 1.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In a decade, there will be a documentary highlighting Brad Stevens’ journey in constructing the Celtics roster into a formidable team without relying on signing superstars to create a superteam in Boston. The recent addition of Jrue Holiday has proven to be a game-changer following last season’s disappointing finish.

Holiday, the sole Celtics player with a championship ring, has proven to be an ideal 3-and-D asset during the playoffs. He is currently averaging 1.9 made 3-pointers per game and has an impressive 40.5% shooting percentage from beyond the arc. In the series against Dallas, Holiday has performed even better, making over 1.5 threes in three out of four games and shooting at an impressive 43.8% rate, the highest among Boston’s top six players.

The odds for this proposition suggest a 62.96% chance that this outcome will occur, resulting in a +275 SGP. When combined, these odds indicate a 26.67% chance of winning, with a $10 wager yielding a $27.50 profit.

SGP picks for the Mavericks-Celtics game were made on Monday at 10:55 a.m. ET.
