When the Celtics host the 76ers, all eyes should be on Jaylen Brown, especially with his scoring prowess in mind. Over his last five games, he's been a scoring machine, averaging an impressive 30.6 points, and at home, his production dips only slightly to 28.8. Given the 76ers' defense struggles against dynamic scorers, Brown's average of 25.6 points in their recent encounters looks promising. In fact, at home against Philly, he's notched 25.2 points, showcasing his ability to thrive on familiar ground.The numbers don't lie: he's hit the over on this prop in 10 of his last 11 games, and a solid 6 of 7 at home. With an expected stat value soaring to 29.31, and an implied probability of 56.5% backing him up, it feels like a safe bet that Brown will eclipse 24.5 points as he aims to lead the Celtics

Andre Drummond (Philadelphia 76ers) Under 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

As the Philadelphia 76ers head into Boston, all eyes will be on Andre Drummond-but betting on him to exceed 16.5 points and rebounds might be a stretch. Lately, he's been averaging just 9.2 points and 11.2 rebounds over his last five games, and those numbers take a dip when he's on the road, plummeting to 5.2 points and 9 rebounds. Against the Celtics, Drummond's performance has been particularly underwhelming; he's averaging only 6 points and 7.6 rebounds in their recent matchups. With the pressure of the Boston crowd, it's hard to envision him surpassing that total. Given that he's hit the under in 4 of his last 6 away games, the trend seems to favor this bet. Expect a tough night against a solid Boston defense, making the under on Drummond a smart play for this matchup.
