The Celtics begin the NBA playoffs facing the Magic in the first round and Game 1 of this best-of-seven series will be in Boston at 3:30 PM EST on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Celtics are favored by 13.5 points and this game carries a total of 205 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Jayson Tatum prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Jayson Tatum Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jayson Tatum O 25.5 Points (-110)
Jayson Tatum should surpass this 25.5-point line Sunday, which is simply too low for the superstar. Tatum is leading the Celtics with 26.8 PPG and a 31.2% usage rate this season and in his lone start against the Magic, he finished with 30 points while shooting 57% from the field.
Tatum is averaging 26.8 PPG in the playoffs over the last five years and Boston being a 13.5-point favorite for Game 1 vs. the Magic on DraftKings Sportsbook bodes well for the forward, as Tatum has been more productive in wins this season with 27.4 PPG.
Tatum is averaging 27.7 PPG against Eastern Conference opponents this season and he should begin the Celtics’ quest for their second straight title with a bang Sunday.
