DP’S PLAYER PROP
SEASON RECORD: 57-34
BOSTON VS MEMPHIS
The ever consistent two-guard for the Boston Celtics will fine tune his craft against the Memphis Grizzlies in what should be a great hit out for the C’s before Stevens rests all starters in their final regular season game against the Wizards.
Jaylen has totalled 19 or more in 5 of his 6 games in the bubble whilst making 3 or more 3’s in also 5 of 6 games.
Don’t let these numbers rattle you, rather encourage what should be another solid outing. Dillon Brooks is not a great transition defender, so I expect JB to get to the cup on the fast-break.
DP’S PICK – JAYLEN BROWN OVER 18.5 POINTS

The Suns are on a back-to-back after pushing their streak to 6-0 with a 128-101 victory over the Thunder last night in another impressive display that we again did not expect.
Philadelphia are in 6th spot in the East but trail both the 4th and 5th place teams by just 1 game and could move as high as 4th place with a win here. The 76ers lost to Portland 124-121 on Sunday for their 2nd loss in 5 seeding games.
Fool us again Phoenix, we dare you.

The Celtics look for their 4th-straight win after beating the Magic 122-119 on Sunday. Gordon Hayward made 3 free throws to put Boston ahead in OT for a gritty win against the Magic. Boston are assured to finish 3rd in the East.
Memphis fell to Toronto 108-99 and have lost 4 of their 6 games in the bubble. Memphis are in the 8th and final spot of the West but only 1 ½ Games separate the Grizzlies and the 11th place Suns. Memphis must win here and win their final seeding game to guarantee a play-in game against one of the other three teams.
Memphis have won just 1 of its first 6 seeding games and are in danger of falling out of the playoffs. The Grizzlies have failed to cover 6 of their last 7. Boston has covered the spread in 6 of its last 8 against Memphis

The Bucks will complete a back-to-back after a 114-106 loss to the Raptors last night, without Giannis. Milwaukee has clinched 1st spot in the East and it’s stars will see less limited game time over their last 2 seeding games.
The Wizards have one foot out the door after being eliminated from playoff contention in the East. Players will be looking to solidify their contracts for next season over the remaining games. Washington has lost all 6 games since entering the bubble, their most recent loss a 121-103 set back to OKC.
Another garbage betting situation, but the Bucks should be looking to regain some swagger.
PICK – MILWAUKEE -7.0
