Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics prepare to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser, particularly with the Over 9.5 points and rebounds prop. Hauser has been quietly effective, racking up an average of 10.2 points against the Timberwolves in their last encounters, with a solid home average of 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in his last five games at TD Garden. He's been a reliable contributor, hitting this mark in 13 of his last 17 games overall, and shows a notable home hit rate of 6 out of 8. Given his expected stat value of 14.9, it seems the stars are aligning for Hauser to exceed that 9.5 mark. With a significant edge over the competition and the home crowd behind him, it's hard not to lean into this prop bet as an enticing opportunity.

Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 6.5 Points (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Celtics face off against the Timberwolves, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser to hit the over on 6.5 points. The young sharpshooter has been on a roll lately, averaging a solid 10.2 points against Minnesota over their last few encounters, and he's been particularly effective at home, where he's raised the bar to 4.2 points in previous matchups against them. With a hit rate of 9 out of 15 games at TD Garden, Hauser thrives in this familiar setting. His recent form shows promise, with an average of 5.8 points at home in the last five games, but it's his overall success-11 out of 17 games hitting the mark-that really stands out. With an expected stat value of nearly 11 points and the Celtics needing his scoring punch, it's hard to see him not reaching that 6.5 threshold. This feels like a solid play for the night.

Naz Reid (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Timberwolves hit the court against the Celtics, keep an eye on Naz Reid for the Over on 17.5 points and rebounds. Reid has shown a knack for stepping up against tough competition, averaging 13.6 points and 6.4 rebounds over his last five matchups against the Celtics. While his recent form reflects a modest 12 points and under four rebounds per game, he's been a different beast away from home, with an away hit rate of 10 out of 16 games. With the Celtics' frontcourt presenting defensive challenges, we can expect Reid to be more aggressive, especially given the stakes. His projected stat value of over 21 indicates that he's primed for a breakout performance. Plus, with a solid overall hit rate of 4 out of 7 in his last outings, Reid is ready to exceed expectations. Bet on him to rise to the occasion in Boston!
