Let’s dive into my favorite Jayson Tatum player prop for Sunday’s contest.

Best Jayson Tatum prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jayson Tatum U 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (+125)

Tatum has made a big impact since returning, with the Celtics 6-1 with him in the lineup, but he has struggled with his outside shot, shooting just 29% on three-pointers. Tatum has fell short of 2.5 made three-pointers in four of his seven games and this isn’t an ideal spot for him to find his rhythm from deep.

The Timberwolves rank ninth in defensive rating and they are allowing the sixth-fewest made three-pointers this season. Anthony Edwards (knee) will be out tonight, which actually makes this a more challenging matchup. With Edwards off the floor this season, Minnesota’s defensive rating is 6.9 points per 100 possessions better than with him on.

With Edwards out for the last three, opponents are shooting 31% from deep vs. the Timberwolves. Tatum’s shooting slump should continue in this spot and he is an enticing bet for this under at this +125 price.
