The Celtics are facing the Cavaliers who are on the second night of a back-to-back. The Cavaliers were without one of their defensive anchors, Evan Mobley, due to left knee soreness, and even if he does return today, this is an exploitable matchup for Tatum Tatum is averaging 27.5 points per game this season and has exceeded this line in 57% of his games this season. Additionally, Tatum should come out firing with the extra rest considering the last time he played was on Friday night against the Knicks. Over the last two seasons, when Tatum has had 3 days of rest he’s cleared this line in 5/7 games. Stylistically, Tatum’s ability to not only stretch the floor while also being able to put pressure on the rim will make it difficult for the Cavaliers to stop him at any level of attack.
