5 prop bets to watch during Game 3 of the NBA Finals

Gambling on the NBA playoffs has been rather monotonous this year. Hopefully, you've been backing the Warriors, as they've absolutely walloped the competition in the Western Conference and continued their dominance over the Cavaliers in the first two games of the NBA Finals.

Thankfully, there are plenty of prop bets to keep us entertained and invested, even if the games or series begin to get one-sided.

One nice thing about proposition bets is that they allow you to bet on specific players and performances depending on how you think the game will play out. Rather than betting on one team or another, you can bet on a larger narrative of how you think the game will go - whether one player will have a bad night, or another will step up big.

For example, I am not giving up on LeBron tonight. Despite every sign from the first two games showing the Cavs to be outgunned in this arms race of jump shooters, I have a difficult time doubting the best player I've ever seen with my own eyes.

Below are five of the more interesting prop bets for Game 3. All odds are in parentheses, via Bovada at the time of this writing.
