Jaylen Brown (front) leads the way as his Boston Celtics run drills as they get set to face the Orlando Magic. With a prop bet of over 23.5 points, many are looking to Brown to lead the charge on the road. This season, he has demonstrated remarkable ability to perform without key player Jayson Tatum, making him a focal point for bettors and fans alike.
In the last four seasons, Brown has played in just eight games without Tatum, including postseason matchups. During this stretch, he has put up an outstanding 24.5 PPG. This stat alone should be enough to show that Brown isn’t just meeting the moment, but instead succeeding in clutch moments. Expectations are sky high given his recent performances, so all eyes will be on him in his first game back against Orlando.
Consistency in Performance
Brown has been undeniably remarkable through the entire postseason. Last season, he showed that he’s got what it takes by dominating the playoffs to the extent that he took home both the Eastern Conference and NBA Finals MVP awards. Just like in Game 2 of the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks, he was nails, pouring in 36 points on the dot. The fact he was able to string that level of performance all season long only highlights how crucial to the Celtics’ success he’s proven to be.
The first round matchup against Orlando should be seen as Brown’s best possible matchup. On the flip side, Sullivan has a very good personal track record against the team. His recent place makes it evident that he’s prone to continue pumping out high-scoring outings. So far this season, Brown has fought the Indiana Pacers 11 times counting the playoffs. In those matchups, he has averaged a staggering 36.5 points per game! This history only lends more credence to the idea that he can come close to or even exceed these numbers again against Orlando.
Prop Bets Highlighting Brown’s Impact
In short, bettors are all in on Brown’s prop bet. What they care most about is the over/under on points + rebounds + assists, which is over 34.5. This is evidence of Brown’s skills beyond being a pure scorer. He’s an extremely versatile player who can impact the game in a myriad of ways. Given the quality of what he brought to the table against Orlando, there’s a chance he can exceed this combined number if he plays to his potential.
With Boston up 2-0 in the series, the onus is on Brown to use his energy and activity to push this lead further. The Celtics are counting on his offensive production and leadership even more in Tatum’s absence. His record proves that he’s the right person to lead this vital mission. Time and again, he’s proven that he can put the team on his back to perform whenever Tatum just can’t suit up.
Expectations Going Forward
Analysts and fans alike are thrilled as they into the future game against Orlando. They are counting on Jaylen Brown to continue on his upward trajectory. And finally, perhaps most importantly, the team’s confidence in him often shines through. His recent performances have settled him as a clear cut primary scorer for the Celtics. If he can maintain his scoring average and contribute significantly in rebounds and assists, the Celtics will undoubtedly have a strong chance of securing another victory.
