Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-1250)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Tonight, as the Thunder host the Celtics, Chet Holmgren's prop bet for points, rebounds, and assists seems a bit inflated at 36.5. While Holmgren has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent averages tell a different story-just 13 points and 10 rebounds over his last five games. At home, those numbers dip slightly, with averages of 14 points and 7.6 rebounds. Against Boston, he typically scores around 16 points, but it's important to note his struggles in the rebound department, particularly at home, where he's grabbing only 3 per game against them. His assist numbers don't inspire confidence either, with just 0.2 at home. With an expected stat value of 24.58, we're leaning into the under, especially given his remarkable consistency in staying below this threshold-20 for 20 in his last two decades of games. Tonight might just be another night where Holmgren comes up short.

Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) Under 7.5 Assists (-833)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Celtics prepare for their away clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes should be on Jaylen Brown's assist totals, particularly the under on 7.5. Recent trends paint a clear picture: in his last five games, Brown has averaged just 5.2 assists, and when playing away, that number dips to a mere 3. His performances against the Thunder have been even less prolific, with an average of just 2.7 assists in their last encounters. Additionally, Brown's underwhelming away hit rate has been astounding-he's gone under this line in 19 consecutive games on the road! With the Celtics likely relying more on their stars to score against a formidable Thunder defense, it's reasonable to expect Brown will focus on scoring rather than playmaking. Given these factors, taking the under on his assists seems like a smart play.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Boston Celtics : Oklahoma City Thunder Over 101.5 Team Total Points (-588)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The rationale behind betting on Oklahoma City Thunder to score over 101.5 points in their match against Boston Celtics comes down to a combination of their recent performance and their opponent's defensive struggles. The Thunder have been electrifying on the offensive end in their recent games, consistently breaking the 100-points threshold. Although the model prediction estimates their score at 90.89, it's important to consider the volatility of basketball scores and the Thunder's upward trend. On the flip side, the Celtics have been showing deficiencies in their defense, often allowing opponents to surpass 100 points. Taking into account these factors, betting on the Thunder to notch up over 101.5 points seems like a sound wager. This bet also grants a 6.5% edge over the market, indicating a higher potential return for a well-calculated risk.
