Playing at home, Watson has been a scoring machine, averaging 20 points over his last five games in Denver. What's particularly eye-catching is his perfect hit rate; he's nailed the over in all 20 of his last outings.

Targeting Sam Hauser for the over on 6.5 points in tonight's clash against the Timberwolves feels like a savvy play. The Celtics are back on their home court, where Hauser has found his rhythm, averaging 5.8 points over his last five home games. However, what stands out is his performance against Minnesota; he's netted an impressive 10.2 points per game in their recent matchups, and when you consider he's hit the over in 9 out of his last 15 home games, the stars are aligning. Hauser's hit rate stands at 11 out of his last 17 overall, showcasing his increasing role in the Celtics' offense. With the Timberwolves likely focusing on the bigger stars, this could free up opportunities for Hauser to capitalize. At -117.65, the value is there, and we can expect him to exceed that 6.5 mark tonight.
