Bucks vs. Celtics Player Props & Best Bets Today: Can Jaylen Brown Get Back on Track?
My Bucks vs. Celtics player props today feature Jaylen Brown, AJ Green, and Anfernee Simons. Tipoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at TD Garden in Boston (ESPN).
With the trade deadline on deck, Milwaukee must decide if it’s time to move on from its franchise player. Either way, the Bucks won’t have Giannis Antetokounmpo today in a game in which they are a 13.5-point betting underdog.

💰 Best Bucks vs. Celtics prop bet: Jaylen Brown Under 29.5 points (-118)
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Boston forward Jaylen Brown hasn’t been doing as much damage as a scorer of late. Over his last 10 games, Brown has only scored 30 or more points four times. He’s scored 41 points combined across his past two outings.
I don’t know if teams are guarding Brown differently or if he’s hit a bit of a wall as the leading man, but the prop markets haven’t adjusted. I’m also projecting fewer minutes for Brown, who might not be needed as much in the fourth quarter.
As a result, I like this Under at DraftKings to win $8.47 on a $10 bet.
🔥 More Bucks vs. Celtics prop picks
AJ Green Under 9.5 points (-120)
AJ Green is basically the only Milwaukee player to have a similar prop line with and without Antetokounmpo. That’s because his usage doesn’t really change as the team’s spot-up shooter. If anything, his shots are less open.
In the 13 games without Antetokounmpo this year, Green is averaging 7.5 points per game and has only cleared this line four times. With Antetokounmpo, Green has cleared this line in 18 of his 29 contests, averaging 11.4 points.
I believe in those splits, which is why I like the Under to win $8.33 on a $10 wager.
Anfernee Simons Over 13.5 points (-120)
This game screams blowout potential, which could give Boston reserve guard Anfernee Simons more minutes on Sunday. Simons has cooled off a bit of late, but he’s still averaging 13.9 points and has cleared this scoring line in half of his games.
When Simons plays 25 minutes in a game this year, he’s averaging 16 points and has a hit rate of 67.9%. Assuming he sees a slight bump in playing time from his season average (24.5 minutes per game), I like his chances of getting this ticket to the window.
