Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Jaylen Brown / Over Points / 24.5 at -121 / 72% / Brown’s 28.2 PPG average in home games and Wizards’ weak wing defense (allowing 26.5 PPG to forwards) support exceeding line, with 70% hit rate in similar matchups.
Player Prop #2: Derrick White / Over Points + Assists / 24.5 at -112 / 68% / White’s usage spikes to 25% without Tatum, averaging 22.8 combined vs. bottom-10 defenses like Washington’s, backed by on/off plus-minus of +12.
Player Prop #3: Alex Sarr / Under Rebounds / 7.5 at -109 / 65% / Sarr’s 6.2 RPG in road games against elite rebounding teams like Boston (top-5 defensive rebound rate) limits opportunities, with under hitting in 65% of outings vs. similar foes.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Boston, aligning with sharp money and simulation metrics showing strong EV on the spread despite the lopsided line. Following the public is optimal here, as reverse line movement is absent and contextual factors like Wizards’ five-game skid reinforce the favorite. Overall game scoring outlook points low, with both offenses struggling (Celtics 103 PPG last five, Wizards 102) against stout defenses yielding under in 62% of sim runs.
