Best Jayson Tatum prop bets for Nuggets vs. Celtics

The Celtics are visiting the Nuggets on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Boston is favored by six points and the game presents a total of 236.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jayson Tatum prop to consider from this contest.

Best Jayson Tatum Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jayson Tatum O 36.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)

In this elite setting vs. the Nuggets, Tatum is a strong bet for this over. The forward is leading the Celtics with a 30.9% usage rate and 28.1 PPG this season. Plus, Tatum has been very active on the glass, with a 14% rebound percentage and 9.4 rebounds per game, both of which are career highs.

The Nuggets’ main weakness this season has been their defense and with their best defender in Aaron Gordon (calf) still sidelined, Tatum should thrive. With Gordon out for the last six games, the Nuggets have ranked 23rd in defensive rating. In this terrific spot, the Celtics carry a monster 121.5-point implied team total on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Another appealing factor is that this game should be a tight affair, with Boston only favored by six points. Tatum has competed in a single-digit spread on the road four times this season and he is averaging 37 PR on those occasions.

Coming off a loss to the Thunder, the Celtics and Tatum should be looking to bounce back in a big way tonight and Tatum should surpass this 36.5 PR combo line.
