Darius Garland Over 19.5 Points (-140)

Cavaliers vs Celtics, 7:30 p.m. ET

By Grant Neiffer

Darius Garland has been hit-or-miss for the Cavaliers lately, but he's averaging 23 points per game since the beginning of 2025 on about 30 minutes per game, and he should be in for low-30s minutes in a game with a 2.5-point spread.

The game environment should be great, with the top two teams in the East facing off and a 233 total.

At the moment, both Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown are questionable, which would make this an easier matchup if they miss, but I like this over regardless.

Pick: Darius Garland Over 19.5 Points (-140)

Chet Holmgren Over 2.5 Blocks (-120)

Thunder vs Hawks, 7:30 p.m. ET

By Kyle Murray

It has been fun betting Chet Holmgren's blocks prop in the past, so I am happy to get back to it here.

Chet has cleared this number in 5 of his 6 games since returning from injury, and he projects to do so again in this matchup against the Hawks tonight.

I have him projected for 3.4 blocks in this spot.

Pick: Chet Holmgren Over 2.5 Blocks (-120)
