The Celtics took care of business in Game 1 and will look to keep the momentum rolling at TD Garden tonight. After an abysmal shooting performance on Tuesday, the Cavaliers are looking to bounce back and even things up.

Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers — Game 2

Derrick White Over 17.5 Points (-122)

I’m not sure this pick requires a lengthy explanation.

Derrick White has been arguably the hottest player on the planet over the last few weeks. In most cases, I wouldn’t even have to say arguably, but respect must be given to both Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards.

Over his last three games, White has racked up a whopping 88 points. He’s been absolutely unconscious from three over that stretch, hitting 20 of 37 attempts. I check out DraftKings Sportsbook this morning prepared to write up White over 19.5 or 20.5 points with no hesitation. Instead, his line was set at just 17.5.

Until Boston’s jack-of-all-trades cools off or his total drastically jumps, I’m going to continue to highlight it.

White’s usage rate has eclipsed 22% in four straight games. His teammates understand that they need to give him the ball. His OPPONENTS even understand how dangerous he is at this point, there’s just seemingly nothing they can do to stop him with the other weapons present on the Celtics’ roster.

Until proven otherwise, I’m trusting White to keep the hot streak rolling.
