Jeff’s Bet of the Day
Payton Pritchard Over 1.5 Threes (-110)
Pritchard has been a monster in the preseason for Boston, averaging 16 points per game while hitting a ridiculous 4.2 threes per contest on just over eight attempts. He should feature heavily in the Celtics’ second unit and will look for his shot constantly. I’m expecting his positive preseason momentum to carry over into this matchup.
