Best Celtics vs Pacers parlay picks for Monday

NBA parlay pick

Aaron Nesmith 20+ points

Nesmith 3+ threes

Nesmith 3+ assists

Aaron Nesmith has a personal vendetta against the Boston Celtics organization, as they drafted him in the first round and then traded him to the Indiana Pacers in the Malcolm Brogdon trade. Of all the people taking the floor tonight, Nesmith is definitely someone who doesn't want to see the Celtics celebrate winning the Eastern Conference at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Nesmith only scored four points in Game 3, but this is also why we're able to get longer odds on his alternate totals. Nesmith is more than capable of having this type of game against the Celtics and even did it back in January when he scored 26 points along with seven assists.

In the same fashion that we saw Nembhard break down the defense and get to the rim, he's also capable of using his speed to create for his teammates. The key to hitting the alternate total is Nesmith attempting more 3-pointers than usual and making them, which is why I included the three or more threes

Nesmith is extremely athletic and shot just under 42% from three in the regular season. He's more than capable of hitting this SGP, especially if Haliburton is ruled out. Also, if you create this SGP at bet365, there is a 30% profit boost available that will increase these odds from +2000 to +2600.
