As the Celtics gear up to face the Raptors at home, Jaylen Brown is looking poised to deliver a standout performance. Over his last five games, he's been a scoring machine, averaging an impressive 31.6 points, and when playing in Boston, that number slightly dips to 29.8-still well above the 29.5 mark we're targeting. Brown's rebounding has also been solid, pulling down about 6.4 boards at home. He's consistently found success against Toronto, averaging 24.8 points and 7.6 rebounds in their recent matchups in Boston. With an overall hit rate of 7 of his last 8 games and a perfect 4 for 4 at home, it feels like a perfect storm for him to hit the over.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors head into Boston, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but the numbers suggest he might struggle to hit the 7.5 assists mark. Despite averaging 11 assists over his last five games, he's been significantly less effective away from home, dipping to just 9.2 assists in those outings. When facing the Celtics, Barnes has averaged only 6.2 assists, and it gets even trickier when you factor in he's managed just 3.8 assists per game in Boston. Given that he's hit the under in nine of his last 13 away games, the odds are pointing toward a similar outcome here. With the Celtics' defense tightening up, we could see Barnes distributing the ball less than usual. Targeting the under feels like a smart play as he navigates a tough environment against a solid defensive team.
