As the Philadelphia 76ers head to Boston, targeting Andre Drummond for under 11.5 rebounds and assists feels like a savvy play. While Drummond has been solid overall, averaging 11.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in his last five games, his performance on the road against tough opponents shows a different story. On the away front, he's only mustered 9 rebounds and maintained his assists at 2.4, not quite matching the intensity the Celtics will bring. Against Boston, his numbers dip further, with an average of just 7.6 rebounds and a mere 1.2 assists in their last five encounters. Plus, with a hit rate of 7 out of his last 12 games hitting under this mark, the odds are pointing towards another subdued outing. Given these factors, it makes sense to lean into this under as the 76ers face a fierce Celtics defense.
