3 NBA Prop Picks for Dec 23

1. Jayson Tatum Over 25.5 Points (-112)

Considering Tatum’s average is 28.8 points per game, we’re happy to jump on this line against the Orlando Magic.

Orlando’s defense is better than most in the NBA, but Tatum is a natural scorer, and he has a knack of playing well in big games. Monday’s game is a big matchup against the 76ers, and it could have ramifications later down the line.

As NBA odds suggest, the Celtics are expected to win, and with the Magic losing Wagner to injury for the year, they are without one of the their better two-way players, so Tatum could take advantage.

Tatum comes off a 43-point performance against the Chicago Bulls in a losing effort. It was the first time since Larry Bird a Celtic has recorded a 40-point triple double.

“Larry Bird is probably the best player to ever wear this uniform,” Tatum told NBA news outlets. “So any time you accomplish something in the same sentence as him, it’s something special, even if you never reach that pinnacle.”

We’re biting, so Tatum is our best pick for the game.

2. Evan Mobley Over 8.5 Rebounds (-109)

Our NBA game predictions have Evan Mobley scoring at least nine rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Utah Jazz.

Mobley averages nine rebounds per game, so the number is bang on, but he comes off a 13-rebound performance against the Philadelphia 76ers, and we expect the Jazz to miss many more shots.

He’s not far off averaging a double-double, and a few big performances on the boards over the next few weeks could get him there. He is one of the most improved players in the NBA, and we’re happy to back him.

The Jazz are 7-20, so they’re expected to put up plenty of misses and Mobley could mop them up and have a double-digit number on the boards.

Bet this Pick: Evan Mobley Over 8½ Rebounds (-119)

3. Deandre Ayton Double-Double (+107)

Bettors get +110 odds at BetUS Sportsbook for Deandre Ayton to record a double-double, and although his stats suggest it’ll be a close-run thing, we’re backing the Trail Blazers to perform on Monday night.

He scored a double-double against the Denver Nuggets last week before narrowly missing out against the San Antonio Spurs when recording 14 points and eight rebounds. He played only 29 minutes in that game, so we’re hoping he gets 35+ minutes against the Dallas Mavericks.

We like his chances of picking up rebounds against the Mavericks, who like to put up plenty of shots. Dallas also doesn’t play a lot of interior defense, so Ayton should have no trouble scoring in the paint.

Getting anything better than -110 is a fair price, so we’re locking in the value.

Bet This Pick: Deandre Ayton Double-Double (+107)
