Sam Hauser (Boston Celtics) Over 10.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to host the Raptors, keep an eye on Sam Hauser to exceed 10.5 points plus rebounds. Hauser has been on a roll lately, averaging 12 points and nearly 4 rebounds over his last five games, and at home, he steps up even more, with an impressive average of 13.2 points against Toronto's defense. What's more, he's been a reliable contributor, hitting this combined mark in four of his last six games and boasting a solid home hit rate of 12 out of 18. The Raptors, while competitive, have struggled to contain players like Hauser, who thrives in this home environment. Given that his expected stat value hovers around 14.67, it's reasonable to believe that he'll clear that 10.5 threshold comfortably. With the Celtics' playoff push intensifying, expect Hauser to rise to the occasion.

Jamal Shead (Toronto Raptors) Over 9.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jamal Shead is poised to exceed his points and rebounds total of 9.5 against the Celtics, and here's why. Despite being an away game, he has shown a competitive edge recently, hitting this mark in three out of his last four outings. While his average points on the road sits at 6.8, it's worth noting that he has consistently scored around 8 points against the Raptors, who struggle defensively against dynamic guards. Add in his recent uptick in rebounding-averaging 2 against Toronto-and it's clear he's stepping up when it matters. The Celtics' defense can be stifling, but Shead's knack for finding opportunities, especially with an expected stat value over 12, suggests he'll not only meet but likely surpass that 9.5 threshold. Trust the trend; Shead is ready to make his mark.

Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (+173)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors gear up to face the Celtics, Jakob Poeltl is a player to keep an eye on. Despite his recent averages of 13.6 points and 6.8 rebounds over the last five games, he's shown he can elevate his game against tough opponents. Against Boston, he typically puts up around 16 points and 10 rebounds, a clear step above his overall numbers. What's compelling is Poeltl's away performance; while he averages 10.8 points and 5.6 boards on the road, he has consistently delivered better against the Celtics, hitting 13.8 points and 9 rebounds on average when playing in their arena. With a solid hit rate of 8 out of his last 19 away games, the 19.5 combined points and rebounds feels very achievable. If Poeltl can replicate that historical success, the over is definitely within reach here.
