Best bet: Tatum over 3.5 threes (-105)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI was swaying between Tatum’s points prop and his threes total before I noticed something interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every time the Celtics’ superstar has gone over 28.5 points (his current prop) since Nov. 6 (11 times), he’s also had 4 or more threes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tatum is playing out of his mind and making a case for MVP. He’s averaging 29.0 points per game and makes 4.0 three-pointers on 10.6 attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forward cleared this total in the past three games, scoring 30-plus in every contest including a 43-point explosion against the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indiana offers up similarly bad defence, giving up second-most points to opposing power forwards per game (25.4), per Fantasy Pros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat<\/strong>: Tatum has scored 30-plus points in nine straight games against the Pacers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Bitadze under 9.5 rebounds (-114)<\/strong>: Bitadze has been a brute for the Orlando Magic during his tenure as starting centre this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut he has a tough matchup tonight against one of the NBA’s premium rebounders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karl-Anthony Towns leads the association in rebounds per game (13.7) and the New York Knicks allow the second-fewest boards to the position (13.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first time these teams met, Bitadze had 11 rebounds compared to KAT’s 22 but I expect both players to see regression on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orlando played yesterday and lost 89-88 to the Miami Heat. A back-to-back means a blowout could be in the works here, which would be great for this under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wembanyama over 24.5 points (-112)<\/strong>: The second-year phenom is starting to light up the NBA and it’s a scary scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Wembanyama scored 42 points on Christmas Day and has cleared this total in six of his last seven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Over that span, he is averaging 33.9 minutes and 28.5 points on 20.4 shot attempts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Those are the stats of an elite scorer yet Wembanyana is still getting modest lines, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks last night meaning the San Antonio Spurs are 6.5-point favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in Thursday’s game, Brook Lopez scored 20 points against the Nets and he averages 11.9 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To put it simply \u2014 Wembanyama could smash this total \u2014 even in limited minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
