Happy Monday to all of you NBA fans out there! Another week has come and gone, which means we’re that much closer to March Madness! This year’s event should be as exciting as ever, and Selection Sunday will certainly provide some fireworks.
While we’re stoked about March Madness, we’re still dialed into the NBA, which only has one more month left until the playoff start. We’ve put our favorite Underdog player pros together from tonight’s action, so let’s get into it!
| Player | Prop | Price |
|---|
| Jayson Tatum | Over 27.5 Points | |
| Jayson Tatum | Under 28.5 Points | |
Jayson Tatum UNDER 28.5 Points
If you look at Jayson Tatum’s last three games against the Utah Jazz, you might call us crazy for taking the under on his point total tonight. He’s had 38, 30, and 39 points in his last three outings vs. this team, a pretty impressive mark for any player against a single team.
However, the Boston Celtics are almost 20-point favorites tonight, and if they take a strong lead early, which we project, Tatum will have limited opportunities to score down the stretch if he sits a lot in the second half. Look for the Celtics to give Tatum something of a late-game breather tonight, going under his projection.
Live player props data coming soon for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 33.5 Points
We recognize that projecting a player to score 34+ points is a large task, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing too well to bet against at the moment. SGA has been a force to be reckoned with lately, scoring 40+ in his last three games, and 30+ in seven of his past eight performances.
Nobody can stop him right now, including the Denver Nuggets, his opponent tonight who let him drop 40 on them yesterday. This scoring tear will slow down eventually, but we don’t think it’s going to be tonight in this playoff-like matchup.
Live player props data coming soon for Alperen Sengun.
Alperen Sengun OVER .5 Double Doubles
Tonight’s game between the Houston Rockets and the Orlando Magic should be another great one to tune into. These are two of the best teams in the Western Conference, and since they match up well with each other, we could see a back-and-forth contest similar to a playoff game.
Alperen Sengun should be a major part of the Rockets’ gameplan from the jump, not only making an impact on the boards but doing his part from a scoring perspective as well, easily achieving a double-double and hitting this prop, sweat-free!
