Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to face the Hornets at home, Payton Pritchard is primed for a breakout performance, making the Over 14.5 points and rebounds a savvy bet. With an average of 18.2 points in his last five outings, Pritchard is clearly finding his rhythm. The home court has been a fortress for him, where he's notched 19.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in his last three games. Against the Hornets, he's historically strong, dropping an average of 15.8 points. With his recent hit rate standing at a perfect 7-for-7, it's hard not to feel confident about him surpassing that 14.5 mark this time around. Factor in his ability to elevate his game on familiar turf, and you have a player ready to capitalize on Charlotte's defensive lapses. This matchup is set up beautifully for Pritchard to deliver, making that Over bet

When the Boston Celtics host the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser for the points and rebounds prop. Hauser has been a crucial contributor lately, averaging 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds over his last five games. Even more telling, he's demonstrated a knack for stepping up at home, where he's put up an impressive 12.4 points against this Hornets squad-a team he's faced with success before. The numbers are compelling: Hauser has hit the over 9.5 in all of his last seven games, and he's done it flawlessly in his last three at home. With the Celtics looking to secure a strong playoff push, expect Hauser to play a significant role. Given his average of 15.63 expected combined points and rebounds, it feels like a no-brainer to back him for the over in this pivotal matchup.

When it comes to Miles Bridges, you can't overlook his current form, particularly as the Hornets face off against the Celtics. With an average of 20.4 points over his last five outings, Bridges is clearly in a groove, and even better, he's been lighting it up on the road, hitting an impressive 20.6 points per game away. It's almost like he thrives under the spotlight of opposing arenas. While he's averaged 12 points against the Celtics away, recent performances show he's been exceeding expectations, hitting the Over in all five of his last games. In fact, he's been a scoring machine, showcasing a hit rate of 4-for-4 on the road in that span. With the Celtics' defense likely focused on other threats, this could open the door for Bridges to capitalize. Taking the Over on his points prop feels not just smart, but almost inevitable.
