Celtics vs. Mavericks Game 2 props, odds, AI predictions: Jrue Holiday over 23.5 points + rebounds + assists

Mavericks star Luka Doncic had 30 points and 10 rebounds against the Celtics in Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Thursday, but it was not enough to keep Dallas in the game.

The 25-year-old averaged 33.9 points per game during the regular season, but his average has dipped to 28.8 points in the NBA playoffs.
