Wed Nov 20 02:20:00 UTC 2024: **NBA Player Props: Tatum and Boston Jr. Poised for Big Nights**
NEW YORK, NY – Two NBA players are predicted to have standout performances in tonight’s games, according to Action Network’s NBA analysts. Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics is expected to dominate the boards against the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Brandon Boston Jr. of the New Orleans Pelicans is projected to excel in assists against the Dallas Mavericks.
Tatum’s strong rebounding history against Cleveland, averaging 10.9 rebounds per game in nine of his last ten matchups, makes him a prime candidate to exceed his projected 8.5 rebounds. Analysts cite Cleveland’s middling rebound percentage and Tatum’s established role as the Celtics’ leading rebounder as contributing factors. A bet on Tatum achieving 10+ rebounds is also suggested.
Meanwhile, Boston Jr.’s increased playing time due to New Orleans’ injuries has resulted in a significant uptick in assists. Averaging five assists in his last eight games, his assist numbers have risen further since the injury to Jose Alvarado. Despite the Mavericks’ strong defensive rating, their vulnerability to assists makes Boston Jr. an attractive proposition for exceeding 4 assists, a feat he’s accomplished in most games since his minutes increased. His consistent performance even in blowout losses further strengthens this prediction.
