As the Warriors roll into Boston, all eyes will be on Brandin Podziemski, but savvy bettors might want to consider the under on his points plus assists combined at 19.5.

The Celtics will likely focus their defensive efforts on limiting his impact, which could significantly hinder his production. With an implied probability of 56.2% suggesting that this under is the more likely outcome, it's hard to overlook the trends. The matchup favors Boston, and it seems that Podziemski might have a tough night ahead, making the under a smart bet in this clash.
