Bucks vs. Celtics NBA Player Prop Picks & Odds Tonight

After a tumultuous start to the season, the Milwaukee Bucks are 7-1 in their last eight games and look to be back on track. Can they stay hot when they travel to face the Boston Celtics, who lead the season series 2-0?

Our Bucks vs. Celtics player props expect the Bucks’ two superstars to stay productive on the road and rack up counting stats in an attempt to keep up this hot run of play.

However, they're contending with the undisputed NBA championship odds favorites.

I expect Jaylen Brown and Co. to stay hot at home when the Bucks and Celtics tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) from TD Garden in Boston.

Best Bucks vs. Celtics prop predictions

Damian Lillard Over 6.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +102 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 49.50%

Lillard leads the Bucks with 7.5 assists per game this season, and we’re all too happy to take advantage of this mispriced line. Dame has hit the Over on this prop in 10 of 18 games this season, good for 55.6%. That means we’re getting great value with plus-money odds here.

Dame has gone for at least six assists in 14 of 18 appearances, and he posted six and seven assists in two matchups with the Celtics so far this season. He’s posted just five assists in each of his last two, which may explain why this line is set at just 6.5.

Lillard has reached double-digit assists only five times this season, and all five have come within his last eight games. In that span, Milwaukee’s point guard has dished 8.6 dimes. We’re betting on him to continue his elite play as a facilitator tonight.

Jaylen Brown Over 36.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -110 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 52.38%

Brown sat out due to an illness earlier in the week, but he’s been tremendous since returning to the Celtics’ lineup. Over his last two games, he’s averaged 28.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.5 assists and gone for at least 37 PRAs in both.

On the season, Brown has hit the Over on this line in nine of 17 outings, doing so once in two matchups with the Bucks. He’s posted at least 37 PRAs in five of nine at TD Garden.

Milwaukee has allowed the 12th-most rebounds, and the team is middle-of-the-pack in scoring defense. Brown doesn’t have a difficult matchup, and he could see some extra work as a scorer and rebounder with Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jayson Tatum all banged-up and questionable for this contest.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 42.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -108 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 51.92%

Giannis is enjoying one of the most productive seasons of his career, averaging 32.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 6.6 dimes. The points and assists are career highs, and he’s posting 50.8 PRAs per game.

Antetokounmpo posted 56 and 40 points + rebounds in two matchups with Boston this season, hitting the Over at home and going Under on the road. Antetokounmpo has been a better scorer at home than on the road this season, but he’s got a great matchup here.

The Celtics have allowed the sixth-most paint points and 13th-most rebounds this season. The team is playing the first leg of a Friday-Saturday back-to-back set, which means one or both of Horford and Porzingis could sit this one out. Tatum is also questionable after sitting out Wednesday, and Antetokounmpo should be able to take advantage of a size and talent mismatch in the frontcourt.
