NBA Player Prop #3: DeMar DeRozan Over 26.5 Points (-110)
DeMar DeRozan is averaging 26.4 points per game for the season, but he's been very successful against Boston. He is averaging 33.0 points per game against the Celtics this season, including a 46-point outburst the last time he was in Boston. He is shooting 53.1% against them too.
Of his three matchups against the Celtics, his lowest-scoring output was 25. The Celtics' Marcus Smart is doubtful tonight and he is one of the best defenders in the league. DeMar DeRozan should feast tonight and have another great scoring performance.
