Celtics computer picks

Jayson Tatum Over 22.5 points (-112)

Projection: 23.5 points

Jayson Tatum has cleared the 22.5-point line in five of his last 10 games, and this sets up as another strong scoring night against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Milwaukee has been more vulnerable defensively on the wing, especially against versatile scorers who can operate at all three levels.

Tatum’s ability to create off the dribble, attack mismatches, and stretch the floor puts constant pressure on a Bucks defense that has shown cracks, particularly in transition and perimeter coverage.

Neemias Queta Over 8.5 rebounds (-130)

Projection: 9.9 rebounds

The Boston Celtics rank sixth in the league in offensive rebounding on the road this season, and Neemias Queta has capitalized, clearing the 8.5 rebounds line in six of his last 10 games.

Derrick White Over 4.5 assists (-105)

Projection: 5.2 assists

Derrick White has surpassed 4.5 assists in five of his last 10 games, and the matchup against the Bucks sets up well for another strong showing.

White is a key facilitator for Boston, consistently running pick-and-rolls and creating open looks for teammates. Against a Bucks defense that has struggled to contain perimeter ball handlers, he should find ample opportunities to distribute the ball effectively.

Bucks computer picks

Myles Turner Under 10.5 points (-105)

Projection: 10.4 points

Tonight’s matchup against the Celtics presents a tough challenge for Myles Turner. Boston has allowed the second-fewest points per game to opposing starting power forwards this season (14.5), making it difficult for Turner to hit the Over on his points prop.

Kyle Kuzma Under 1.5 3-pointers (-120)

Projection: 1.2 3-pointers

The Celtics have operated at the slowest pace in the league this season, which will likely limit possessions for the Bucks and reduce opportunities for Kyle Kuzma, who has hit the Under in six of his last 10 games on a 1.5 made threes line.

🔥 Bet kuzma Now at bet365!

Ryan Rollins Over 5.5 assists (-145)

Projection: 5.8 assists

Ryan Rollins has gone Over 5.5 assists in six of his last 10 games, and tonight’s matchup against the Celtics provides an opportunity for him to continue that trend.

Rollins thrives when he can push the pace in transition or exploit mismatches in half-court sets. With his teammates hitting shots around him, every made basket increases the chance for secondary assists, boosting his potential to surpass 5.5 assists once again.
