As we dive into the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics, Andre Drummond's current form suggests it's time to look at the under on his rebounds plus assists total of 11.5. Drummond, while a force at times, has averaged just 9 boards and 2.4 assists in his last five games away from home-numbers that simply don't add up to the threshold we're targeting.Against the Celtics, he's historically struggled, pulling down an average of just 7.6 rebounds and dishing out only 1.2 assists per game in their last five encounters. With the Celtics' formidable frontcourt, it's likely Drummond will find it tough to hit his usual marks. Given these trends, betting the under seems a wise play as he's only hit this total in seven of his last twelve games. Trust the numbers-this one feels like a low-scoring night for Drummond.
