Holiday recorded six potential assists in Game 1, slightly below his prop total of 3.5 assists, but his projections for Wednesday's game are above four assists as Boston is expected to improve their shooting.

In Game 1, Tatum recorded 16 rebounds after averaging 10.3 rebounding chances in the regular season matches against New York, leading to an increase in his prop total for Game 2 to 9.5 rebounds with projections ranging from 8.7 to 9.2.

Payton Pritchard is expected to take on a larger role in the game, having scored 13 points in Game 1 and averaging 14.3 points per game in the regular season, while shooting 50% from beyond the arc in the playoffs.

Hart has averaged 14 points and 7+ rebounds in 10 consecutive games, contributing significantly despite variable shooting performance.

The Celtics allow opponents to shoot from deep, as evidenced by a 43.4% rate of such shots taken after the All-Star Break, while limiting their success to 34.3%, leading to a scenario where Hart's Over/Under for 3-pointers is set at 0.5 with favorable odds for the Over.

Jalen Brunson scored 29 points in Game 1, shooting 5-of-9 from deep, while the Celtics prioritize contesting shots at the rim due to their strong interior defense.

Tatum played 44 minutes in Monday's overtime loss and is expected for significant minutes again, with an average of 11.3 rebounds per game in the previous round.
