The Celtics and the Knicks start their second round series with Game 1 in Boston on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Celtics are favored by nine points and this game carries a total of 213.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Jaylen Brown prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Jaylen Brown Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jaylen Brown O 5.5 Rebounds (-135)
Brown was very active on the glass during the Celtics’ first round series vs. the Magic. In the five games of that series, the All-Star averaged 7.6 rebounds per game and exceeded 5.5 rebounds in all but one contest. Brown saw 11.8 rebound chances per game in this best-of-seven, which ranked third for Boston. The wing also faced the Knicks four times in the regular season and posted at least seven rebounds in two of these four matchups.
The 28-year-old is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game against Eastern Conference opponents this season. He also averages 6.5 rebounds per game during the playoffs over the last four years in a large sample size of 68 games. Brown is an excellent bet for over 5.5 rebounds in Game 1 and this -135 price on DraftKings Sportsbook is very favorable compared to other major sportsbooks.
