Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Celtics take the court against the Timberwolves, Sam Hauser presents a compelling case for exceeding 10.5 combined points and rebounds. Playing at home, Hauser has been a different player, averaging 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in his last five games at TD Garden. His tendency to step up in front of the Boston crowd contributes to his impressive home hit rate-10 out of his last 15 games have seen him surpass this mark.Against Minnesota, he's shown he can handle the pressure, averaging 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in their recent encounters. The Timberwolves have struggled defensively, allowing perimeter players to find their rhythm, a trend that bodes well for Hauser. With his overall hit rate at 12 out of the last 17 games, it feels like a solid opportunity for Hauser to shine, making the Over a smart play in this matchup.

Jaden McDaniels (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-143)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Timberwolves head into Boston, all eyes will be on Jaden McDaniels, but I'm leaning towards the under on his three-pointers made at 1.5. While he's had a solid hit rate lately, with 11 of 12 in his last games, the numbers tell a different story when he's playing away. In his last five road outings, he's averaging just 0.4 threes per game. The Celtics, known for their tough defense, will likely focus on limiting his opportunities outside. Plus, historically, McDaniels has only managed 1.2 threes against Boston on the road. With the pressure of TD Garden and a formidable Celtics squad, I believe he'll struggle to find his rhythm. Given these dynamics, betting on McDaniels to fall short of 1.5 threes feels like a smart move.
