Ousmane Dieng (Milwaukee Bucks) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As Ousmane Dieng steps onto the court for the Bucks against the Celtics, the spotlight is on his shooting from beyond the arc. While he's shown flashes of brilliance at home, his recent performances reveal a trend worth noting. Averaging just 1.8 threes at home and 1.5 against Boston, he's not exactly lighting it up. In fact, his overall average for the last five games hovers at 1, and against the Celtics, he's made just 1.5 threes per matchup. His recent form seems to suggest a bit of a lull, missing the mark in terms of volume, as evidenced by his hit rate-while his last four outings may look promising, they paint a skewed picture. Given his expected output of just 1.26 threes, betting the under on 1.5 seems not just smart, but a savvy move as the Bucks look to find their rhythm against a tough Celtics defense.

Neemias Queta (Boston Celtics) Under 8.5 Rebounds (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Celtics roll into Milwaukee, Neemias Queta's rebounding prop offers a fascinating opportunity. Despite an impressive average of 9 boards in his last five games, his numbers dip significantly against the Bucks, where he's managed just 5.4 rebounds in their recent matchups. Even more telling is his away performance; while he typically grabs around 8.8 rebounds, he has only hit the mark against Milwaukee about 56% of the time in their last 16 encounters. With the Celtics facing a strong Bucks frontcourt, it's likely that Queta will be challenged to assert himself on the boards. Given these dynamics and a projected stat value of just 7.85, backing the under on his 8.5 rebounds feels like a smart play. In a high-stakes matchup like this, it's all about the details, and Queta might just find the glass a bit tougher to navigate.
