Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics gear up to host the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser to surpass the 9.5 points and rebounds mark. Hauser has been quietly effective, boasting a hit rate of 13 out of his last 17 games overall, and an impressive 6 of 8 at home. While his recent averages of 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds might not jump off the page, he tends to elevate his game against the Timberwolves. In their last encounters, he averages a solid 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds against them, numbers that suggest he thrives in this matchup. With the Celtics playing at home, where he typically scores slightly better, there's every reason to believe he can hit this over. Given the Celtics' need for scoring depth and Hauser's proven ability to rise to the occasion, this prop feels like a promising play.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Celtics host the Timberwolves, keep an eye on Sam Hauser for the over on 6.5 points. While his recent overall average sits at 5.6, he has a knack for stepping up at home, boosting that to 5.8. But here's where it gets intriguing: facing Minnesota, Hauser has shown he can elevate his game, averaging 10.2 points against them. His last 17 outings tell a compelling story too-an impressive 11 of those saw him surpass our target line. And at home in particular, he's hit that mark 9 out of 15 times. The Celtics will likely need his shooting prowess to stretch the floor, especially against a Timberwolves defense that can be vulnerable. With an expected value of 10.77 points in this matchup, there's a solid case for Hauser to not just meet but exceed the 6.5-point threshold. This game promises to be a great opportunity for him to shine

Naz Reid (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Timberwolves gear up to face the Celtics, keep an eye on Naz Reid, whose blend of scoring and rebounding could make him a pivotal player. Averaging nearly 13.6 points against Boston in recent matchups, Reid seems poised to exploit their defense. While his current averages dip at 12 points and just under 4 rebounds, his away games have shown a bit more bite, with 4.4 rebounds per game on the road.What's particularly compelling is his recent form-hitting the Over in 4 of his last 7 games and a solid 10 out of 16 away contests. With an expected stat value nearing 21, Reid's potential for a breakout performance against a team that allows more than their fair share of inside scoring bodes well for our bet. At 17.5 for points and rebounds combined, this is a line worth backing.
