The Celtics are visiting the Bucks on Monday. Boston is favored by 2.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game total set at 216.5 points.

Let’s dive into my favorite Payton Pritchard player prop for Monday’s contest.

Best Payton Pritchard prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Payton Pritchard Over 32.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-116)

Jaylen Brown (illness) will be sidelined Monday night, with the Celtics playing the second night of a back-to-back. The former Finals MVP ranks fifth in scoring (29 PPG) and second in usage rate (35.7%) this season, so there is a massive void left in his absence. Standout big man Neemias Queta (rest) will also be out.

Fortunately, Payton Pritchard has consistently elevated his performance in shorthanded situations.

In six games without Brown this season, Pritchard has averaged 23.3 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has cleared 32.5 PRA in all but one of these games. Without Brown and Queta, Pritchard’s usage rate skyrockets 8.8 percentage points to 30.4%, and his assist rate swells 7.9 percentage points to 31.7%.

Against a porous Bucks defense, expect Pritchard to flourish once again on Monday.
