As the Milwaukee Bucks prepare to host the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Ousmane Dieng, but bettors should consider the under on his threes made at 1.5. Despite playing at home, where he's averaged 1.8 threes recently, Dieng's overall numbers tell a different story. In his last five games, he's only hit 1.0 three per game.

As Neemias Queta prepares to clash with the Bucks, there's a compelling narrative brewing around his rebounding numbers. While he's averaged a solid 9 rebounds over the last five games, his away performance tells a different story, dropping to 8.8. It's even more telling when you look at his history against the Celtics, where he's only snagged about 5.4 boards on average recently, and just 6.7 when playing in hostile territory.With the Bucks boasting a formidable defense that limits second-chance opportunities, Queta's chances at hitting that 8.5 threshold seem slim. His hit rate of just 4 out of his last 8 suggests that he's been up against tough competition lately. Given the Celtics' physicality and the pressure of the away crowd, betting the under feels like a savvy move. Expect Queta to struggle to find his rhythm in this matchup, making the under a tempting play.
