Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-132)

Sam Hauser has been quietly stepping up for the Celtics, especially at home, and this matchup against the Charlotte Hornets presents a prime opportunity to capitalize on his scoring and rebounding. Over his last five games, he's averaged 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds, but what's really intriguing is his performance in the friendly confines of TD Garden, where he's bumped those numbers to 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds against the Hornets.
