When the Boston Celtics take the court against the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Jaylen Brown. Coming off a remarkable stretch, he's averaging a combined 31 points and 6 rebounds over his last five games, making the Over 29.5 prop a tempting wager. Playing at home, his numbers soar even higher, with 31.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. Against the Hornets, he's historically feasted, racking up an average of 22.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in their recent home matchups. With an impressive hit rate-8 out of his last 9 games hitting this mark-it's clear Brown thrives under the spotlight at TD Garden. The Celtics will rely on him heavily, especially with the stakes rising as the season heads toward the playoffs. With an expected stat value around 35, betting on Brown to go Over 29.5 feels like a winning play in this matchup.
Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Boston Celtics prepare to host the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser for an enticing points and rebounds prop bet. Hauser has shown a knack for stepping up in pivotal moments, particularly at home, where he's averaged a solid 12.4 points against Charlotte over their last few encounters. In his last five games at the TD Garden, he's been steadily improving, with his combined points and rebounds reaching around 9.4, but what's encouraging is his recent performance - he's hit the Over in two of his last three home games. The Celtics are likely to rely on him to stretch the floor, and with an expected stat value soaring close to 15, it seems more than likely he'll surpass the 11.5 mark. With the Hornets struggling defensively, expect Hauser to capitalize on this opportunity.
Miles Bridges (Charlotte Hornets) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-123)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Boston Celtics, all eyes should be on Miles Bridges. With an impressive average of 20.4 points and 5 rebounds over his last five games, Bridges has been on fire, particularly when playing away from home, where he's upped his scoring to 20.6 points and snagged 5.2 boards. The Celtics' defense may pose a challenge, but Bridges thrives in these matchups; he's averaged 12 points per game against Boston in his last five encounters away. Plus, his recent form has been nothing short of stellar, hitting the Over in all of his last four contests. With an expected stat value of 22.63, targeting the Over 18.5 seems like a savvy move. Look for Bridges to step up and deliver for the Hornets once again.
