Nets vs Celtics prop: Jayson Tatum Over 29.5 points
- Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
- TV: YES, NBC Sports Boston
- Analyst: Quinn Allen
Top pick: Jayson Tatum Over 29.5 points
Jayson Tatum dropped 36 points against the Knicks last week and is averaging 22 field-goal attempts per game. Brooklyn is allowing 123.7 points per contest, giving Boston's leading scorer a favorable matchup to clear this number in Quinn Allen's Nets vs. Celtics predictions.
Pistons vs Knicks prop: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: NBC, Peacock, MSG
- Analyst: Ed Scimia
Top pick: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds
Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 12 rebounds per game to open the season, while Detroit ranks just 17th in rebounding rate. Ed Scimia expects Towns to continue controlling the glass and likes him to grab at least 12 boards, with value up to 60% in his Pistons vs. Knicks predictions.
Kings vs Spurs prop: Julian Champagnie 3+ threes
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: NBC Sports California, DAZN Spurs
- Analyst: Geoff Clark
Top pick: Julian Champagnie 3+ threes
Julian Champagnie gets most of his shots from beyond the arc, with a 3-point attempt rate of 85.7%. Sacramento has struggled to limit wide-open looks from deep, and Geoff Clark expects Champagnie to capitalize in his Kings vs. Spurs predictions.
Trail Blazers vs Lakers prop: Walker Kessler Under 9.5 rebounds
- Time: 11 p.m. ET
- TV: NBC, Peacock
- Analyst: Chris Walder
Top pick: Walker Kessler Under 9.5 rebounds
Walker Kessler has finished with fewer than 10 rebounds in each of his first three games with the Lakers, and he'll face a challenging matchup against Portland's 7-foot-2 center Donovan Clingan.
Clingan is averaging nine boards per contest, and Chris Walder expects his presence to make double-digit rebounds difficult for Kessler in his Trail Blazers vs. Lakers predictions.
