Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics gear up to face the Toronto Raptors, all eyes should be on Jaylen Brown. Playing at home, he's been on a scoring tear, averaging 31.6 points over his last five games, with a solid rebound contribution of 6.2. When you look closer at his performance against the Raptors, Brown has consistently shined, putting up an impressive 24.8 points per game at home against them. His ability to fill the stat sheet is evident, particularly with a robust average of 7.6 rebounds in those matchups. Plus, he's hit the Over on this 29.5 mark in seven of his last eight games, and remarkably, he's perfect in his last four at home. With an expected stat value soaring to 36.67, it's hard to ignore the strong likelihood of him exceeding that threshold once again. Brown is primed for a big day; let's back him to deliver.

Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-102)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the showdown between the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors, all eyes should be on Sam Hauser to surpass 11.5 points and rebounds. Playing at home, Hauser has been in solid form, averaging 12 points and 3.6 rebounds over his last five games. What stands out is his performance against the Raptors; when playing at home, he's upped his game to an impressive 13.2 points and 4 rebounds per outing.With a hit rate of 67% in his last six games, Hauser has shown he can deliver when it counts. The Celtics will need his scoring touch and rebounding ability to secure a win, especially against a Raptors team that he has historically fared well against. The numbers suggest he'll not only meet but likely exceed that 11.5 mark, making this bet an appealing play for Sunday's matchup.

Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors) Over 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-111)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jakob Poeltl is primed for a breakout performance against the Boston Celtics, especially with the matchup unfolding in TD Garden. He's been quietly effective, averaging 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds over his last five games, but those numbers don't tell the whole story. When facing Boston, he has consistently delivered, averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds in their last encounters. While his away numbers dip slightly, Poeltl's ability to elevate his game against tough opponents like the Celtics can't be overlooked. With an expected stat value of nearly 20, he's well-positioned to surpass the 16.5 mark. Combine that with an impressive hit rate-4 out of his last 5 games-and it feels like a solid bet to back Poeltl for the Over in this pivotal matchup. Expect him to step up when it counts.

Jamal Shead (Toronto Raptors) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors gear up to face off against the Boston Celtics, all eyes should be on Jamal Shead. The young guard is hitting a sweet spot, having cleared the 9.5 mark for points and rebounds in three of his last four games. While his recent averages of just under 10 points and under one rebound might seem modest, there's more to this narrative.Against the Celtics, Shead has averaged 8.4 points, and while his away numbers dip slightly, he's shown he can step up when it counts. The Celtics' defense is formidable, yet they can often overlook players like Shead in their scouting reports. With an expected stat value of nearly 13, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Shead to exceed expectations. With the game environment set to be competitive, I like Shead to not just meet, but surpass that 9.5 mark.
