Dejounte Murray to score 25+ points (+180)
Dejounte Murray has had a very consistent start to the series, averaging 26 points per game. His lowest points total through the 3 games was 24 in Game 1. In each game since he has hit this line and managed to improve his field-goal percentage. He made 52.4% of his shots the last time out and if he maintains that trend, he would be well positioned to score at least 25 again. Murray has been a go-to player for the Hawks offense, leading the team in field-goal attempts twice and coming just one shy in the other game. With Marcus Smart continuing to focus in on Trae Young, expect a similar level of aggressiveness from Murray today.

Marcus Smart to record 2+ steals (-115)
Marcus Smart is listed as questionable, but if he does take the floor, I expect him to be his usual self defensively. In each of the first 3 games of the series he has been able to record 3 steals. To have him record just 2 for this parlay seems to be a good buffer to have. Trae Young continues to be turnover-prone with 14 so far. Smart remains in a great position to pick off some of them. The Hawks averaged 12.9 turnovers per game in the regular season but have struggled against this Celtics defense with 15 or more turnovers in 2 of the 3 games. Smart should be one of the players reaping the rewards.
Clint Capela to score 10+ points (-115)
Clint Capela is averaging 8.7 points per game in the series, having scored double-digit points in 2 of the 3 games. He should be well-positioned to improve that further tonight. Capela is not great at creating his own looks. Luckily, he has 2 natural point guards in Young and Murray who can facilitate for him. He is also matched up against Al Horford, who is far from the most intimidating presence at the rim. He is also not a terrific rebounder, managing 5.7 per game in the series. Capela was able to take advantage with 4 offensive rebounds in Game 3. Something similar today should allow him to pad his scoring numbers with second-chance points. Double figures should be reachable for him.
