Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to face the Wizards, targeting Derrick White for under 5.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Over the last five games, he's averaged just 2.6 assists, and at home, that number nudges up to a mere 3.8. While he's capable of facilitating, the matchup against the Wizards, who have shown some defensive resilience, suggests he may not need to shoulder as much playmaking responsibility.Against Washington, White has averaged 4.4 assists in their recent encounters, but even that figure drops to 3.8 when he's at home. With a perfect track record of hitting the under in his last seven outings, including six at TD Garden, the numbers lean heavily toward expecting another subdued performance. Given the implied probability of 58.1% suggests a high chance of hitting under, this bet seems like a smart choice for Saturday's clash.

As the Celtics gear up to face the Wizards, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser, particularly when it comes to his scoring output. Despite his potential, Hauser has been struggling recently, averaging just 5.6 points over his last five games. Even more telling is his home performance, where he's managed a mere 3.2 points per game. Against the Wizards, he has shown flashes with an average of 12.4 points at home, but those games are the exception rather than the rule. The numbers indicate a significant drop-off in scoring, with Hauser hitting the under in three of his last three outings. Given these trends, combined with an expected stat value of only 6.88 points, taking the under on Hauser's 9.5 seems like a smart play. The Celtics have plenty of offensive weapons, and Hauser's role may not demand heavy scoring tonight.
