Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jakob Poeltl has been quietly effective lately, and as the Raptors head to Boston, it feels like the perfect spot to back him for over 16.5 points plus rebounds. In his last five games, he's averaged 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds, but the numbers tell a bigger story against the Celtics. Poeltl has historically performed well against Boston, averaging 16 points and nearly 10 rebounds in their recent matchups. While his away numbers hover around 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds, the Celtics' frontcourt can be vulnerable, especially with their tendency to struggle against skilled big men. Given that Poeltl has hit the mark in four out of the last five games, and with an expected stat value of over 20, there's reason to believe he'll rise to the occasion. Trust in his ability to deliver when it matters most-this matchup could be a perfect storm for Poeltl to thrive.
