Celtics backup Sam Hauser hadn’t finished in double figures since May 1 against Miami, but he scored 14 points in 20 minutes against Dallas in Game 4. Hauser took advantage of the garbage time, knocking down 4 of 6 three-pointers, but playing time will likely be limited in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Monday night. Hauser hasn’t played more than 16 minutes in Boston’s last five games, and he’s -110 to make at least two 3-pointers Monday in the Celtics’ last chance against the Mavericks. Are there any backups you should target with your NBA Finals backer bets?
