The Celtics look for their third straight win in a showdown with a reeling Hawks squad. Jayson Tatum has been arguably the hottest guy in the sport, as he’s solidified himself as an early MVP favorite.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Boston is currently a 15-point favorite, with the game’s point total set at 228.5. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Tatum in this NBA Cup showdown.

Jayson Tatum 30+ Points (+110)
The most encouraging start of Jayson Tatum’s emphatic start to the season is how effortless his whole process looks. With Jaylen Brown missing a chunk of time with a lingering hip injury, Tatum’s role as an offensive engine slightly expanded. He’s developed into a crafty point forward who is almost unguardable, darting off screens. Teams have started to trap the 26-year-old more frequently when calling for a pick, fearing how easily he can carve up a defense’s perimeter.
Even with Brown back in the fold, Tatum will still dominate the rock as the primary creator. The eighth-year pro is getting to the charity stripe at the best rate of his career, as he’s been more aggressive in drawing contact around the basket. The jumper continues to look so much better without the hitch that plagued him in recent times, and his refound stroke from distance has elevated his scoring output.
Like every other roster, Atlanta has no answer for the All-NBA forward. He’s hit this mark in three straight games, and even on his lousy shooting nights, he has done enough to reach the 30-point threshold. The only concern is Boston pulling away too fast and Tatum sitting out the fourth quarter, but most of its contests lately have been relatively close.
