Chris Boucher is a forward-center for the Boston Celtics, wearing number 25 and serving as a reserve big man in the team's rotation. Born on January 11, 1993, in Saint Lucia, Boucher stands 6'9" and weighs 200 pounds, giving him a lean frame for his position. He played college basketball at Oregon before entering the NBA as an undrafted player, working his way into the league through development and persistence.
Through 13 games this season, Boucher is averaging 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game across 12.8 minutes per contest, with 0.8 blocks per game standing out as his most notable contribution relative to his limited floor time. His shooting has been a concern, with a 31.7% field goal percentage, 17.8% from three, and a notably low 23.5% from the free-throw line. Despite those efficiency struggles, his plus-minus of +4.9 suggests the Celtics fare reasonably well when he is on the court. His role is situational, coming off the bench primarily for rim protection and rebounding spot duty. For bettors, his block prop is the most relevant angle given his rate of nearly one per game in limited minutes, while points and rebounds props carry more variance given his inconsistent shooting and game-to-game minute fluctuations as a reserve.
