As the Celtics gear up to face the 76ers at home, Payton Pritchard is primed for a standout performance, making the over on his 11.5 points a compelling bet. Pritchard has been sizzling lately, averaging nearly 18 points over his last five games and even bumping that number up to 20 when he's played at TD Garden.

As the 76ers gear up to face the Celtics, all eyes are on Andre Drummond's rebounding prowess. However, let's take a closer look at the numbers before we get caught up in the hype.

With a hit rate of just 4 out of 6 in away games and an expected stat value of only 7.04 for this outing, it feels wise to lean towards the under on Drummond's 9.5 rebounds. Given the context, this is a spot where he might struggle to meet expectations.
