My best Pistons vs. Celtics player props for today's NBA Cup game at TD Garden in Boston focus on Jalen Duren, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard. The Pistons are a 2.5-point betting favorite ahead of tipoff at 5 p.m. ET (ESPN).

When these two teams met earlier this season, Brown and Duren had huge games. My NBA best bets explain why I think they're primed to repeat those performances.

💰 Best Pistons vs. Celtics player props

Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️  Jalen Duren player prop: Over 12.5 rebounds (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The first time Duren faced the Celtics, he pulled down 18 rebounds. He’s averaging 11.5 per game, which is fourth-best in the league, and he has at least 13 boards in three of his last six games. 

The Celtics are allowing 44.2 rebounds per game, and with Neemias Queta out tonight, they’re without their leading rebounder and the only real opposition to Duren. The only negative for Duren entering this game is that he has 12 or fewer rebounds in three consecutive games, and he’s grabbed eight or fewer boards in two of those contests. Still, this matchup is so good that it's a five-star play.

BetMGM’s price of -105 implies a 51.22% chance that this Over hits. A $10 bet would profit $9.52.

⬆️  Jaylen Brown player prop: Over 26.5 Points (-116) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Pistons have the fifth-best scoring defense in the league, allowing just 112.6 points per game. However, that didn’t stop Brown from scoring a season-high 41 points against them the first time these two teams met. 

Brown has continued to shoot well since that game, as he’s averaging 27.9 points per game this season. He’s scored at least 29 in three of his last four games, and he’s only scored fewer than 25 points five times all season. In November, he’s recorded five 30-point games, and he’s scored at least 27 in seven of his 11 contests. And while this is a tough matchup, he’s averaging 5.8 more field goal attempts per game than any other Celtic.

DraftKings’ price of -116 implies a 53.70% chance that this Over hits. A $10 bet would profit $8.62.

⬇️  Payton Pritchard player prop: Under 4.5 assists (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pritchard just dished out eight assists in Sunday’s win over the Magic, and he’s now averaging 5.1 assists per game. However, he’s recorded fewer than 4.5 assists in six of his last 11 games, and he’s only dished out more than five assists twice during that span.

No team allows fewer assists than the Pistons. They’re giving up just 23.2 per game, and Pritchard managed only four assists against them in 34 minutes earlier this season.

BetMGM’s price of -115 implies a 53.49% chance that this Under hits. A $10 bet would profit $8.70.
