Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jakob Poeltl presents an intriguing opportunity for the points + rebounds prop bet as the Raptors face off against the Celtics. Despite averaging just 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds over his last five games, Poeltl has shown he can elevate his performance against tough opponents, especially Boston, where he's averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds in recent matchups. Playing away from home, he's consistently risen to the occasion, hitting the over in 10 of his last 19 road games. With an expected stat value of 20.13, he's likely to exceed that 16.5 mark. The Celtics' defense will challenge him, but Poeltl's recent trend of delivering when it counts makes this a compelling play. Given his solid hit rate of 4 out of his last 5 games, betting on the over feels like a savvy move in what should be an intense battle.

Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) Over 33.5 Points + Rebounds (-111)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Toronto Raptors, all signs point to Jaylen Brown having a standout performance. Playing at home, he's been nothing short of exceptional lately, hitting the points and rebounds mark in 7 of his last 8 games. Over those games, he's averaged a robust 31.6 points and 6.2 rebounds, but the numbers really pop when we zoom into his home performances-29.8 points and 6.4 rebounds, with a striking 24.8 points against the Raptors at TD Garden.Brown's familiarity with the home court bodes well, and considering he's averaged 7.6 rebounds against Toronto while in Boston, there's a solid case for him to surpass the combined total of 33.5. With an expected stat value of 36.67, it feels like a prime opportunity to back Brown to shine. His current form and historical success against this opponent make the Over a compelling play.

Neemias Queta (Boston Celtics) Under 8.5 Rebounds (+104)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Neemias Queta has shown flashes of brilliance, but with the Celtics hosting the Raptors, the matchup might not favor him as much in the rebounding department. While he averaged a solid 9 rebounds in his last five games, that number dips noticeably to 7.2 at home. Against the Raptors, Queta's recent history paints a clearer picture, with just 5.4 boards per game on average, falling even lower to 5.8 when at home.Considering he's also been under the 8.5 mark in three of his last five home outings, it's clear that the Celtics' offensive schemes may limit his rebounding opportunities. With the Raptors likely focusing on securing their defensive glass, betting on Queta to stay under 8.5 rebounds becomes a compelling narrative. This bet reflects the reality of the matchup and the trends we've seen lately, making it a savvy pick for this game.
