The Boston Celtics are coming off a commanding victory over the Suns on Tuesday. While Jayson Tatum missed that contest due to injury, he should be back in the lineup today looking to continue his recent streak of excellent outings.
Here’s the top Tatum prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Celtics at Spurs, which tips off at 8 p.m. EST.
Best Jayson Tatum prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Tatum’s prop lines at 26.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 3.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is 40.5.
The Celtics are -750 Moneyline favorites over the Kings tonight, while the game carries a total of 229 points on DKSB. Since the All-Star break, the opposing Spurs are second-to-last in defensive rating, 12th in pace, and allow the third-most points to opponents per game. Every since Victor Wembanyama went down, they’ve been a completely different team, so they’re vulnerable to the defending champs tonight.
I do really like over 7.5 rebounds for Tatum, even at -125 odds. The superstar forward has cleared this line in 42 of his 66 appearances on the campaign and is a very reliable presence on the glass. He averages 8.7 rebounds per game this season overall, a testament to his two-way ability.
Furthermore, the matchup is a positive one for Tatum’s rebounding prop. The Spurs are 26th in total rebounding since the All-Star break and their starting center is Bismack Biyombo, a veteran who doesn’t exactly strike fear in the battle for boards. San Antonio also averages the eighth-most field goal attempts per game, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Tatum to pull down rebounds in this game.
