Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) Over 24.5 Points (-159)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Jaylen Brown, especially when it comes to his scoring potential. Playing at home, he's been a force, averaging an impressive 31.8 points over his last five outings in Boston. With the Hornets in town, who he has historically handled well, you can expect him to elevate his game even further. Brown's averaged 22.2 points against Charlotte at home recently, but given his current form-hitting over 24.5 points in all nine of his last games-this feels like a prime opportunity for him to exceed that mark. His expected stat value stands at a remarkable 29.75, which suggests he's not just likely to hit the over but could do so with room to spare. With a high hit rate and the energy of the home crowd behind him, Brown is primed for a big night.

Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Boston Celtics host the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser to hit the Over on 9.5 points and rebounds. Playing at home, Hauser has been a reliable contributor, averaging 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds over his last five games. But the real kicker? In his last three home games, he hasn't just met expectations; he's exceeded them, hitting the Over every time. His numbers against Charlotte are telling too-averaging 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds at home against them, well above our target. With a perfect hit rate over the last seven games, it's clear Hauser thrives in this setting. Given the Celtics' offensive rhythm, expect him to tap into that energy tonight, making this prop bet a strong play.

Payton Pritchard (Boston Celtics) Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-122)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to host the Hornets, all eyes should be on Payton Pritchard, especially when considering the prop bet on his points and rebounds combined. Lately, Pritchard has been on fire, averaging 18.2 points and 3 rebounds over his last five games. At home, he's upped that scoring to 19.2 points, showcasing his knack for thriving in familiar surroundings.What's particularly enticing is his recent form against the Hornets; he's averaged 15.8 points in their last encounters, and notably, he tends to ramp it up when playing at TD Garden. With a hit rate of 4 out of 6 in his last home games, the odds favor Pritchard to not only meet but likely exceed the 17.5 mark. This game presents an opportunity for him to shine, so expect him to rise to the occasion and help the Celtics secure a win.
