Collin Gillespie (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Assists (-172)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Phoenix Suns prepare to face the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Collin Gillespie, but not for the reasons you might think. While he's shown flashes of brilliance this season, his assist total could take a hit in this matchup. Gillespie has been held to fewer than 5 assists in all of his last five games, and his current trajectory points towards an expected stat value of just 3.08. With the Celtics boasting one of the stoutest defenses in the league, it's hard to envision him breaking through for a higher total. Moreover, Gillespie's away performance has been consistent-he's hit the under in four consecutive road games. When you consider that the implied probability of him staying under 4.5 assists is a solid 63.3%, this feels like a smart spot to bet against him exceeding that mark.

Jalen Green (Houston Rockets) Over 3.5 Rebounds (-159)

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Boston Celtics, Jalen Green presents an enticing opportunity for those looking to bet on player rebounds. With an average of 5.2 rebounds over his last five games, Green has shown a knack for crashing the boards, particularly when on the road, where he's snagged an admirable 4.2 per game. Against Boston, Green has averaged 4 rebounds in their recent matchups, and the Celtics' frontcourt can be vulnerable to guards stepping in for defensive boards. In fact, they allow an average of 3.3 rebounds to opponents at home. With Green hitting the over on 3.5 rebounds in three straight games and six of his last eight on the road, it seems he's in prime form. With an expected stat value of 4.76, it's hard to ignore the value on the over. This matchup is ripe for Green to continue his strong rebounding streak.

Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) Over 8.5 Rebounds + Assists (-147)

As the Suns head into Boston, Devin Booker is primed for a standout performance, especially when it comes to contributing through rebounds and assists. Averaging 6.6 assists and 3 rebounds over his last five games, Booker's numbers show he steps up his game on the road, with averages of 7 assists and 5 rebounds in away matchups. Against a Celtics team known for their defensive prowess, Booker has historically found ways to navigate their pressure, hitting an impressive 9 out of 11 in this away stretch. It's also worth noting that he's been directly involved in the offense, with an overall hit rate of 16 out of his last 20 games. With an expected stat value around 10.12, targeting the over on 8.5 rebounds plus assists feels not just feasible, but almost inevitable. This matchup could see Booker orchestrating plays and grabbing boards like never before.
