💰 Best Celtics vs. 76ers player prop picks

⬆️ Jaylen Brown Over 36.5 points + rebounds + assists (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s already the second go-around for the Celtics and 76ers in this new season, after Philadelphia emerged with a narrow 117-116 win at TD Garden on Opening Night. Brown posted 35 points + rebounds + assists in that matchup, and he's gone on to exceed 36.5 twice over the subsequent four games.

With Jayson Tatum on the shelf, Brown’s usage rate is up to 32.1% overall. That dovetails nicely with the 76ers’ accelerated pace of play, which includes the fifth-most possessions over the last three games (108.1).

The total for this game has risen a full 12 points since the open as well, which certainly helps support the case for a bet on another busy and productive night for Brown.

At -118 odds on FanDuel, the bet has a 54.1% implied probability of hitting, while a $10 bet would net $8.47 in profit.

⬆️ VJ Edgecombe Over 27.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Edgecombe got his NBA career off to an auspicious start with a standout first three games, including a 34-point, seven-rebound, three-assist effort against these same Celtics in his pro debut.

The rookie third overall pick posted a 31.3% usage rate in that contest while shooting 50% from the floor despite the tough defensive matchup.

After playing between 39 and 42 minutes in his first three games, Edgecombe may have hit a bit of a wall while going through his first three-games-in-four-nights sequence as a pro last time out against the Washington Wizards, when he put in another 40 minutes on the floor.

However, he's had two days of rest and has eclipsed 27.5 points + rebounds + assists in three of his first four NBA games, making this a very viable prop in a game with rapidly ascending offensive expectations.

At -110 odds on BetMGM, the bet has a 52.4% implied probability of hitting, and a $10 bet would net $9.09 in profit.

⬆️ Payton Pritchard Over 20.5 points + assists (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite the fact that Pritchard is shooting well below his usual standards - he's connected on just 39.7% of his attempts, including 18.9% from deep - he’s still eclipsed 20.5 points + assists in two games while coming up just short in a third.

Pritchard is now holding down a starting job at two-guard, and his points + assists tallies in his last three games are 25, 26, and 20.

Philadelphia’s rapid pace and the fact that the 76ers are allowing 51.5% shooting at home, along with the fifth-most assists (28.5) in that split, can work to Pritchard’s benefit here, as should the fact that the Sixers rank No. 22 in offensive efficiency allowed to shooting guards.

At -110 odds on BetMGM, the bet has a 52.4% implied probability of hitting, while a $10 bet would net $9.09 in profit.
