Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Looking at Sam Hauser's recent form, targeting the Over on his combined points and rebounds seems like a savvy play. With an average of nearly 12 points and 3.6 rebounds over his last five games, he's been finding ways to contribute effectively. More importantly, when playing at home, he boosts his scoring to around 13.2 points against opponents like the Raptors, who struggle defensively. Hauser's ability to step up against Toronto is promising; historically, he's averaged 9.4 points and 5 rebounds in their recent matchups. With his recent hit rate of 4 out of 6, including 2 of 3 at home, confidence is on his side. The Celtics will look to leverage his shooting, especially in a high-stakes matchup. With an expected stat value of nearly 15, it seems likely Hauser will surpass that 11.5 mark and play a crucial role in the game.

Jamal Shead (Toronto Raptors) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-104)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jamal Shead is poised for a breakout in the matchup against the Boston Celtics, and targeting him for over 9.5 points plus rebounds feels like a savvy move. Despite averaging just under 9 points recently, he's shown flashes of potential, particularly with a solid hit rate of 3 out of his last 4 games. When facing the Celtics, he typically registers around 8 points, and while he's struggled a bit on the road, this is a prime opportunity for him to step up. With the Raptors needing his aggression, he's likely to exceed his averages against a Celtics team that can be vulnerable to dynamic guards. The expected stat value suggests he could surpass the mark comfortably, and at an implied probability of 51%, it seems like a smart wager to capitalize on Shead's potential. Keep an eye on him; he's ready to deliver!

Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors) Over 16.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Toronto Raptors head into Boston, Jakob Poeltl presents an intriguing opportunity for a points and rebounds prop bet. Averaging 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds in his last five games, Poeltl has really come alive against the Celtics, putting up an impressive 16 points per game in their recent matchups. His ability to dominate the glass is evident, too, with a solid 10 rebounds against Boston in their last outing. Even though he has averaged 10.8 points and 5.6 rebounds on the road lately, Poeltl is showing a consistent upward trend, hitting the over in four of his last five games. With an expected stat value of 19.82, this bet feels like a smart play. Given the stakes of this matchup, I expect Poeltl to rise to the occasion and surpass that 16.5 mark, making this a compelling play.
