The Boston Celtics are favored on the road on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings, and this should be a fun offensive showdown.

With that in mind, I have two player props that I love for the game.

The Celtics can score with the best of them (fourth in offensive rating), but there are two veterans that are undervalued a bit in the prop market.

Let’s break down the picks:

Celtics vs. Kings best NBA prop bets

  • Al Horford OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
  • Malcolm Brogdon OVER 13.5 Points

Al Horford OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made

Al Horford is on fire from beyond the arc right now, hitting at least two shots from deep in nine of his last 10 games.

Over that stretch, Horford is averaging 3.4 made 3s per game on 5.8 attempts, an insane 58.6 percent. Now, he gets a matchup with a Kings team that is in the bottom third of the league in defensive rating.

With Robert Williams III back, Horford should spend more time on the perimeter on offense. This is one of my favorite plays for tonight’s entire slate.

Malcolm Brogdon OVER 13.5 Points

I think we’re getting some value on Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malcolm Brogdon on Tuesday night in what should be a high-scoring game in Sacramento.

The Kings and Celtics rank first and fourth respectively in offensive rating, and the Kings love to push the pace this season (10th in the NBA).

Brogdon is averaging 14.7 points per game on the season, clearing this number on average and in 10 of his last 15 games. The Kings are also on the second night of a back-to-back, so there should be some tired legs on their defense tonight.

The Celtics guard doesn’t always take a ton of shots, but he’s going to see consistent playing time, so I don’t mind taking the OVER with it set below his season average.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
