As the Timberwolves gear up to face the Celtics, all eyes will be on Jaden McDaniels. While he's been a reliable option from beyond the arc at home, the story changes when he hits the road. His recent stats reveal a concerning trend: averaging just 0.4 threes made in his last five away games screams inconsistency, especially against a defensive powerhouse like Boston. Even more telling is his track record against the Celtics; he typically lands around 1.2 threes in Boston, well under the 1.5 mark we're targeting. Sure, he's had a hot run lately, hitting the over in 11 of his last 12 games, but this matchup presents a unique challenge. With a strong Celtics defense that's adept at closing out on shooters, McDaniels may find it tough to get his looks. Taking the under on 1.5 seems like a smart, data-driven play here.
