💰 Nuggets vs. Celtics best bet

Jaylen Brown Over 30.5 points (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Scoring 30-plus points is right in Jaylen Brown's wheelhouse this season. Only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Donovan Mitchell, and Tyrese Maxey have scored more points than the four-time NBA All-Star.

Now he gets to face a Nuggets squad that's been drowning on the defensive end lately. Denver ranks second-last in the NBA in defensive rating over the last 10 games. Look for Brown to go off against that struggling unit in the friendly confines of TD Garden tonight.

Jamal Murray Over 40.5 points + rebounds + assists (-108) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything is on Jamal Murray's plate offensively following Nikola Jokic's injury. He's gone Over this combo total in two of three games since the big man went down.

Even if he doesn't have the most efficient night, I expect Murray's volume to help him fill up the stat sheet in Boston. He's already averaging a career-high 28.1 usage rate, and that will continue to climb in Jokic's absence.

Our Shane Thurston targets Murray to tally a double-double tonight in his NBA player props today.

Payton Pritchard Over 5.5 assists (-104) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't sleep on Payton Pritchard's passing ability, as the Celtics' sharpshooter is averaging a personal-best 5.3 assists per game. That's nearly two clear of his previous career high.

He's gone Over this number in three of his last four games, finishing with five assists in the lone exception. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year is making the most out of his starting minutes, and I love his chances to continue doing so versus the Nuggets.
