Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers
- Leg 1: Paul George Under 14.5 Points (-118)
- Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 5.5 Rebounds (-115)
- Leg 3: Quentin Grimes Under 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-180)
Paul George has scored 16.1 points per game this season. However, he’s only added at least 15 points in 49% of games this year. In addition, he’s scored no more than 14 pints in six consecutive games before the All-Star break. He went on vacation with no care in the world during the All-Star break. He’ll start the second half of the season with a matchup against a Celtics defense ranked seventh in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. George’s usage has also been below 18% in five straight games. Take the under on his points.
On the other hand, Jaylen Brown has recorded at least six rebounds in six of his last 10 games. He’s also hit this line in 59% of games this season. Ultimately, Philadelphia ranks 25th in rebounds allowed to small forwards this season. Brown has also had more than nine rebound chances per game over his last 10 games. I like his rebounds over here.
Lastly, Quentin Grimes was a solid addition to the 76ers at the trade deadline. However, don’t expect him to have a usage beyond 30% every game. In addition, he’s facing a Celtics defense ranked second in the NBA in three-pointers allowed to shooting guards this season. Grimes will likely take at least five threes. But he won’t have the highest-quality looks against the Celtics. Back the under on his three-point attempts to conclude this parlay.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Brooklyn Nets
- Leg 1: De’Andre Hunter Over 14.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 2: Jarrett Allen Over 11.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 3: Keon Johnson Under 12.5 Points (-108)
De’Andre Hunter has scored 12 and 18 points in his two games with the Cavaliers. However, in his latest game, he saw 27 minutes and a usage of 20.5%. He’s only going to get more comfortable with the Cavaliers and had the All-Star break to get acclimated even more. That said, the Nets have allowed 22.43 points per game to small forwards this season. Small forwards have also gotten to the foul line at a top-10 rate, hitting over 31% from downtown. Hunter should get his.
Meanwhile, Jarrett Allen typically comes to play against his former team. Allen has recorded at least 12 points in eight of his last 10 games against the Nets. He’s also tallied at least 12 points in seven of his last 10 games this season. Add on the fact the Nets rank 16th in the NBA in points allowed to centers and Allen looks good on paper to score at least 12 points.
Finally, Keon Johnson scored just 11 points in his last two games combined. He’s averaged below 10 points per game this season. He’s also averaged just 4.7 points per game against the Cavaliers in three previous matchups. That’s no surprise since the Cavaliers rank sixth in the NBA in points allowed to shooting guards this season. Johnson has attempted at least nine field goals in each of his last three games. However, he’s also shot 38.2% from the field in his previous 10. That won’t help against the Cavaliers. Back his points under.
