Bulls-Celtics Prop Bet: Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown O/U 34.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Jaylen Brown is off to the best start of his career. In 7 games, the University of California product is averaging 27 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Eastern Conference looks to have gotten tougher with the emergence of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Milwaukee Bucks dominance. Brown and Tatum will look to control home court against a Chicago Bulls team they lost to by 18 over a week ago.
Brown had a poor shooting performance his last time out against the Bulls. He shot 8 for 23 from the field and missed 5 three-pointers. Since then, he’s put together 2 30-point games and has surpassed this line in 3 games played. He’s at a career-high 31% usage rate this season and looks to be commanding the offense as the 2nd best player on the team.
The Bulls have allowed multiple 20-point scorers to the small forward position. On Wednesday, Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 24 points on 53% shooting from the field. They allow the 4th most points, 14th most rebounds, and 4th most assists to the position. Look for Brown to put his previous game against the Bulls behind him and continue his ramped scoring pace.
