As the Milwaukee Bucks gear up to host the Boston Celtics, eyes will certainly be on Ousmane Dieng, but betting on him for under 1.5 threes made could be the savvy play. Despite a thrilling home environment, Dieng's recent performances indicate he might be in for a quieter night. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 1.0 three-pointer made, and while his home average bumps up slightly to 1.8, he's only hitting around 1.5 against the Celtics historically. The numbers speak volumes; he's hit the mark in his last four outings, but the trending average suggests a regression. With the Bucks' defensive scheme likely focused on limiting outside shots, Dieng's opportunities could dwindle.So, while he's capable of lighting it up, the odds favor a subdued display from him this time around. Taking the under on his threes made prop feels like the smart money here.
Neemias Queta (Boston Celtics) Under 8.5 Rebounds (+105)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Milwaukee Bucks, Neemias Queta's rebounding numbers tell an intriguing story. Despite an impressive average of 9 boards over his last five games, it's worth noting that he's struggled against the Bucks historically, pulling down just 5.4 rebounds in their last encounters. On the road, that number dips slightly to 6.7, a clear indicator of his challenges in hostile territory.With the Celtics playing away in Milwaukee, the odds seem stacked against him. Queta's recent form shows a hit rate of only 50% over his last eight games, which translates to a concerning trend when facing a strong rebounding team like the Bucks. Given these factors, betting on him to stay under 8.5 rebounds appears to be a savvy move-especially with an expected stat value sitting at 7.85. The narrative favors the under, making it an enticing wager for discerning bettors.
