The NBA has seven games on tap on Sunday, including an Eastern Conference matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. The Celtics are 7-2 after winning two straight games, while the Bucks are just 1-8. The two teams met on Wednesday in Boston, and the Celtics picked up the win, 109-102. Let’s take a closer look at Sunday’s rematch and pick a few Celtics-Bucks props that make sense to add to your betting card.
For the game, the Celtics are 12.5-point road favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the total set at 221.5. At the time of publishing, 96% of moneyline bets are on the Celtics, and 72% are on the Celtics against the spread.
On the injury report, the Celtics listed Mitchell Robinson as questionable, and the Bucks listed Gary Trent Jr. as questionable, as both players are dealing with illness.
Celtics at Bucks Props at DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyler Herro 20+ Points (-124)
Herro leads the Bucks with 22.3 points per game and a 27.0% usage rate. He had 25 points in his matchup on Wednesday with the Celtics and followed that up with 23 points in his second double-double of the season on Friday against the Raptors.
Herro has scored at least 20 points in seven of his nine games this season, and he is averaging 23.6 points per game in his five home games. The 26-year-old is one of the focal points of Milwaukee’s offense after coming over from the Heat in the trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he will likely continue to get the opportunity to post excellent numbers as long as he stays healthy.
The Celtics have a solid defense against point guards, but Herro was able to excel in this same matchup on Wednesday and has a good chance to get to this threshold again on Sunday, especially since he’ll be at home.
Payton Pritchard 4+ Assists (-126)
Pritchard has been inconsistent in his nine games this season, playing 26.4 minutes off the bench. His shooting and scoring have been very streaky from game to game, averaging 12.9 points per game. However, his assists have been more consistent from game to game.
Pritchard had five assists on Wednesday against the Bucks and matched that number with five assists on Friday as well. He has at least four assists in five of his last eight games, and when the Celtics’ second unit is thriving, Pritchard can pick up assists in a hurry.
The Bucks are a favorable matchup for guards and play at one of the fastest paces in the NBA, which has the potential to lead to a high-scoring game with plenty of assists.
Brayden Burries 20+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (-104)
Burries was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, and he has stepped right into an involved role for the rebuilding Bucks. Burries is only averaging 20.1 minutes per game this season with an average of 17.4 PRA (points, rebounds and assists). He moved into the starting lineup for the last three games, and his playing time has jumped to 28.7 minutes per game.
Burries has 24.7 PRA in those three games. He had nine points, nine rebounds and an assist for 19 PRA in his first career start, but he was held to 17 PRA against the Celtics on Wednesday. However, he bounced back with 21 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for 38 PRA on Friday.
Burries has lots of potential and should get plenty of playing time as the Bucks see how he can fit into their future plans.
Bonus Parlay Play: Neemias Queta Under 1.5 Assists (-152)
If you are assembling a Same Game Parlay (SGP), be sure to consider the available 30% NBA Profit Boost on a 3+ leg parlay on an NBA SGP or SGPx on DraftKings Sportsbook. Adding in the under on Queta’s assists boosts the SGP odds to +900 for the four player prop bets in this post. Adding on the booster can take your winnings even higher!
Queta had three assists against the Bucks last Wednesday, but he has gone under this prop line in six of his nine games this season. He had just one assist on Friday against the Hornets, and the spike against the Bucks last week seems to be an outlier.
