Tuesday 23:40: Brooklyn Nets @ Boston Celtics
Tatum 3+ made threes & to record 8+ rebounds
Last season’s NBA champions the Boston Celtics host the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
The Celtics, who are second in the east behind the 56-11 Cleveland Cavaliers, have been solid once again this season as they look to defend their crown.
Boston are silly odds to win and we’re not sold on the handicap given the Celtics beat Brooklyn by two points last time out so we’ve got a couple of Jayson Tatum plays in mind instead.
The Celtics superstar is averaging 27.1 points per game this season and while we know he can drop 40 on any given night, there’s value in backing him to make 3+ threes and to record 8+ rebounds.
Tatum is shooting 35.2 per cent from beyond the arc this season which is slightly below his career average of 37.2 per cent, however, he’s made three or more threes in six of his last eight games.
The 27-year-old is fifth in the NBA scoring charts and he’s averaging 10.2 three-point attempts per game and making an average of 3.6 of them.
The Nets’ opponent three-point percentage is 36.5 per cent which is the seventh-worst in the league so expect Tatum to be hot from deep.
Tatum also helps his side out when it comes to grabbing rebounds and he’s averaging 8.7 boards per game this season.
He’s finished with eight or more rebounds in five of his last seven games and we’re expecting that trend to continue.
Wednesday 02:10: Milwaukee Bucks @ Golden State Warriors
Giannis Antetokounmpo to record 12+ rebounds
From Boston to San Fransisco now as the Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors just lost against the Nikola Jokic-less Denver Nuggets but they’re 8-2 in their last 10 games. Milwaukee, meanwhile, are fourth in the east and 6-4 in their last 10 outings.
We’re not picking a winner again so we’re on Giannis Antetokounmpo to record 12+ rebounds.
The Greek superstar is averaging 30.4 points this season, which is second in the NBA only behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Antetokounmpo is also averaging 12.1 rebounds and six assists per game – and we can see him being busy on the glass once again against the Warriors.
Antetokounmpo can never be criticised for a lack of effort and he has finished with 12 or more rebounds in six of his last 10 games. All we need the 6ft 11in ‘Greek Freak’ to do is hit his seasonal average – easy, eh?
Wednesday 02:40: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Los Angeles Clippers
Ivica Zubac to score 15+ points & to record 10+ rebounds
This season’s surprise package, the Cavaliers, travel to Los Angeles to face the Clippers at the new and shiny Intuit Dome.
Cleveland should get the win but we’re actually on player props on the Clippers side on Tuesday night.
First up in focus is Ivica Zubac. The big man is having a brilliant campaign and he’s averaging 16.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per outing.
Zubac will be up against Jarrett Allen for Cleveland as they’re likely without fellow center/power forward Evan Mobley – and we’re expecting the Clippers man to have a productive night.
Zubac has finished with 15+ points in nine of his last 10 games, while he’s failed to grab 10+ rebounds just once in his last 10 outings.
James Harden to score 20+ points
We were used to James Harden putting up silly scoring numbers during his time in Houston and the former 2018 MVP has rolled back the years for the Clippers this season.
Harden, who has led the league in scoring three times, is averaging 22.5 points per game as well as 8.7 assists and 5.9 rebounds.
The 35-year-old has upped his scoring in recent weeks including him going for 50 points against the Detroit Pistons earlier this month.
Harden has finished with 20+ points in his last eight games and he can make that tally nine against the Cavaliers.
