Jayson Tatum M/L Than 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Jayson Tatum is averaging 19.3 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists per game in this series against the Knicks — that’s about 39 combined, which sits well below the current line of 43.5.
He’s only cleared that number once so far, back in Game One when he benefited from a 16-rebound performance at home.
It’s unlikely he repeats that kind of output on the glass, making this line feel a bit too aggressive.
The Knicks have defended him well throughout the series, and with Game Four likely to be another tight, physical battle.
Let’s take advantage of this steep prop mark and bet on Tatum remaining below 43.5 combined points, rebounds and assists.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Jayson Tatum Under 43.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Julius Randle M/L Than 6.5 Assists
Julius Randle has turned into an assist machine over his last two games, which is pretty unusual given that’s not really his style.
He’s always been capable of dishing out the occasional dime, but hitting double digits in back-to-back games is a major outlier for the Timberwolves forward. Randle averaged just 4.7 assists during the regular season and had only topped 6.5 twice during the postseason prior to posting 11 and 12 in his last two.
This is a great sell-high spot on his assist prop and Stokastic’s NBA DFS Projections back that up, projecting him for just 6 assists.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Julius Randle Less Than 6.5 Assists
