Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Under 9.5 Points (-130)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Washington Wizards, all eyes will be on Sam Hauser. While there's buzz around his potential, consider betting the under on his points set at 9.5. Hauser has averaged just 5.6 points over his last five games, and at home, that dips even further to 3.2. Defensively, the Wizards have been a sieve, yet Hauser's performance against them historically shows an average of just 12.4 points at home, raising questions on his scoring ceiling. Moreover, he's hit the under in four of his last five games at TD Garden, and with a hit rate of 3-for-3 recently, it's clear he's struggling to find his rhythm. Given his expected stat value sitting around 6.88, there's solid reason to believe he'll fall short of that 9.5 mark once again. Trust the numbers; the under looks like a smart play here.
