In his last 15 away games, he's hit the Over 7.5 line an impressive 13 times. Facing a Boston team that often draws out the best in opponents, Williams has the opportunity to capitalize on their defensive schemes. Historically, he's put up around 6.4 points and 4 rebounds against the Celtics, but with his recent form, we can expect more. His ability to step up when it counts is evident, considering he's hit the Over in 18 of his last 20 games.
