Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Toronto Raptors at home, keep a close eye on Jaylen Brown. This season, he's been a scoring and rebounding dynamo, averaging an impressive 31.6 points and 6.2 rebounds over his last five games. When playing at the TD Garden, he's even better, with averages of 29.8 points and 6.4 rebounds. Against the Raptors, Brown thrives, posting 24.8 points and 7.6 rebounds at home in their recent matchups. His consistency is striking - he's hit the over on this combined total in 7 of his last 8 games, and he's perfect at home in his last four outings. With an expected stat line hovering around 36.67, it feels like a prime opportunity to ride the momentum and back Brown to surpass that 29.5 mark.

Scottie Barnes (Toronto Raptors) Under 7.5 Assists (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Scottie Barnes gears up to face the Boston Celtics, all signs point to him falling short of 7.5 assists. On the road, his recent performances show an average of just 9.2 assists over his last five games and a mere 3.8 when squaring off against the Celtics away from Toronto. The Celtics, known for their defensive prowess, typically stifle playmaking opportunities, which is reflected in Barnes' average of 6.2 assists against them in their last five meetings. With a hit rate of 9 out of 13 for the under in away games, the trend is clear: Scottie's playmaking may be hampered in this matchup. Add in an expected stat value of 6.13 and you've got compelling reasons to back the under. It's a gamble worth taking as the Raptors face this formidable Celtics defense.

Jakob Poeltl is primed for a strong showing against the Boston Celtics, and here's why we're backing him for over 16.5 points plus rebounds. In his last five games, he's been on a roll, averaging 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds. But against the Celtics specifically, he averages 16 points and 10 rebounds, showcasing his ability to elevate his game against tough opponents.Even though he's on the road, Poeltl has a solid track record, hitting our target in 10 of his last 19 away games. His recent form suggests he's not just a role player; he's stepping up when it counts. With an expected stat value of nearly 20 and a favorable matchup, the odds are leaning in our favor for him to exceed that 16.5 mark. Look for him to dominate the boards and contribute solidly on the offensive end-this is a bet worth making!
