J.Tatum o8.5 Rebs-115

Tatum had 13, 14, and 11 rebounds in his last three games against the Mavericks.

J.Tatum o8.5 Rebs-115

The Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. While all eyes will be on the Maverick’s injury report to see if Luka Doncic (ankle) will suit up, there’s a player prop we can target for Boston. Jayson Tatum’s rebounds prop is set at 8.5 which is exactly his average on the season. However, this is a good matchup for him. Dallas surrenders the second-most rebounds per game to their opponents (54.5), with the third-worst Rebound % (47.9%), while playing at the eighth-fastest Pace in the league. In their matchup on January 22nd, Tatum secured 11 rebounds on 19 chances, a significant uptick from his 12.6 chances he typically averages. While it is notable that Porzingis did not play in that game, Al Horford still played 31 minutes in that game. I expect Tatum to crash the boards and exceed 8.5 Rebounds tonight.
