Prop Pick
The Boston Celtics won the semifinal series with the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 in which they did a great job in the defense. In three of those games, they conceded under 100 points, which is surprising given that the Cavs have some high-scoring players on the roster (e.g., Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, etc.).
On May 21, theyโre taking on an even higher-scoring team. The Indiana Pacers are actually the team with the highest average in the league, with their PPG in the regular season being 121.9.
