Cason Wallace (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 3.5 Assists (-192)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Oklahoma City Thunder gear up to face the formidable Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Cason Wallace. While he's shown flashes of playmaking potential, his recent numbers suggest that hitting the over on 3.5 assists might be a tall order. In his last five games at home, he's averaged just one assist per game, and against the Celtics, that number dips to 2.5. Sure, he has a knack for setting up teammates, but with an overall average of only 0.6 assists in his last five outings, it's clear that he's not quite in a playmaking groove. Given that he's hit the under in all of his last ten games, it seems prudent to bet on Wallace struggling to eclipse that 3.5 threshold against a disciplined Boston defense. This matchup could very well see him focusing more on his scoring than facilitating, making the under an intriguing play.

Isaiah Joe (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-172)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Oklahoma City Thunder gear up to face the Boston Celtics at home, Isaiah Joe's rebounding numbers paint a clear picture. While he's been a valuable contributor, his recent averages tell a compelling story for an Under on rebounds at 3.5. Over his last five games, Joe has managed just 0.6 rebounds overall and 2.2 at home, highlighting a trend that's hard to ignore. Even in matchups against the Celtics-who typically challenge his style-he's only mustered 2.8 boards on average. With his recent hit rate of 9 for 9 on the Under and a perfect 4 for 4 at home, it's evident that Joe isn't finding his rhythm on the glass. The Celtics' defensive prowess only adds to the case, making this prop bet a strategic move worth considering. Expect Joe to stay below that 3.5 mark as he focuses on other aspects of his game.

Cason Wallace (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 12.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Thunder host the Celtics, all eyes will be on Cason Wallace, but betting the under on his combined points and assists at 12.5 feels like a savvy move. Over his last five games, Wallace has averaged just 6.4 points and a mere 0.6 assists, and at home, those figures rise slightly to 7.2 and 1, respectively. The Celtics' defense is notoriously tough, and against them, Wallace has only managed 9 points at home on average. Digging deeper, his overall hit rate is perfect; he's gone under in each of the last 15 games, a trend that's likely to continue. With the expected stat value sitting at just under 9, it seems clear that he'll struggle to meet that 12.5 mark. In a matchup featuring high-caliber players, Wallace may find himself overshadowed, making this under bet a compelling choice.
