Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 6.5 Points (-118)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Boston Celtics take the court against the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser. Playing at home, he's shown a knack for stepping up when it counts, with an impressive hit rate of 9 out of 15 games at TD Garden. Sure, his recent average of 5.8 points at home might seem modest, but against Minnesota, he's delivered a solid 10.2 points in their last five matchups. With the Celtics looking to maintain their momentum, Hauser's role as a supporting scorer becomes crucial. His expected stat value of 10.77 suggests that he's primed for a breakout. Given that he's hit the over in 11 of his last 17 games overall, the odds favor him exceeding the 6.5 mark. It's a prime opportunity for Hauser to shine under the bright lights, making this bet one to watch closely.

Jaden McDaniels (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Timberwolves roll into Boston, all eyes will be on Jaden McDaniels, but don't let his recent success fool you-betting the under on his threes made feels like the smart play. Sure, he's hit the mark in 11 of his last 12 games, but let's dive deeper. In his last five outings, he's averaging just one three-pointer per game. On the road, that number dips to a mere 0.4. Facing the Celtics, who boast one of the league's stiffer defenses, McDaniels has historically struggled, averaging just 1.2 threes in away matchups against them. With the Celtics likely to key in on his perimeter shooting, it seems McDaniels will find it tough to find his rhythm. So, locking in the under on 1.5 threes for him feels less like a gamble and more like a calculated move.
