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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Thunder gear up to face the Celtics at home, all eyes should be on Cason Wallace, but not for the reasons you might think. While he's shown flashes of playmaking ability, his recent assist numbers tell a different story. Over the last five games, he's averaged just one assist at home, and in his matchups against Boston, he's only managed 2.5 assists per game. With the Celtics boasting a solid defense that often stifles young playmakers, it's hard to see Wallace surpassing the 3.5 assists mark. The trend is there-he hasn't hit this number in any of his last ten games, and at home, he's hit the under every time in the last five. Given these factors, the smart play here is to back the Under on Wallace's assists. The stats are leaning heavily in our favor, setting up a promising opportunity.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Isaiah Joe, but savvy bettors might want to consider the under on his rebounds at 3.5. Despite playing at home, Joe's recent form reveals a troubling trend; he's averaging just 0.6 rebounds over his last five games. Even when we narrow it down to his home performances, he's only mustered an average of 2.2 boards per game. Against this Celtics squad, whose defensive prowess can stifle even the most prolific rebounders, Joe's historical numbers aren't encouraging either-he averages just 2.8 rebounds against them and 3 at home. With a flawless hit rate in his last nine games and a strong 4-for-4 mark at home on the under, it feels like a no-brainer to bank on Joe staying below that 3.5 threshold. The odds are in our favor, and this trend is hard to ignore.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Cason Wallace has been a solid contributor for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but let's not overlook the numbers before we place our bets. His average of just 6.4 points and 0.6 assists over the last five games paints a picture of a player who's not particularly thriving right now. At home, those figures only slightly improve to 7.2 points and 1 assist. Going against the formidable Boston Celtics defense, Wallace's historical performance against them offers little comfort-he's averaging 9 points and 2.5 assists at home in their recent matchups, well below our target of 12.5 for points and assists combined. Not to mention, he has a perfect hit rate for the under across his last 15 games, giving us a strong indication that he might struggle to reach that threshold. With the odds favoring the under, it feels wise to back this trend as the Thunder take on the Celtics.
