He grabbed 8 rebounds on 17 chances in Game 1. 9, 4 (played < 30 MIN), & 6 rebounds in the regular season. He’s been positioned near the base line on defense defending low-USG% players like Caleb/Highsmith while Porzingis does the dirty work defending Bam in coverage and Jrue/White are on top of the key hedging/defending Tyler Herro. It’s essentially him & Tatum who are competing for rebounds. And we can bank on Miami to miss their shots. Betting on players to go over their rebound prop has quietly been an edge I’ve been observing and experimenting lately. It makes sense why - defense/intensity is tighter and more missed shots. #PlayerPro

Playoff Tatum is an entirely different animal and even he is not immune to a bit of stat padding after securing a triple double in Game 1. This matchup against the Heat is one we have seen throughout the years and one where he excels, especially on the glass. In 8 Playoff games against Miami over the last two seasons, Tatum has exceeded 8.5 rebounds in 6/8 games while averaging 10.3 per game. In Game 1, Tatum grabbed 10 boards on 12 chances; however, those boards were extremely easy to come by as he barely even needed to box anyone out. Miami does not crash the offensive glass and his teammates are not hunting for the stats. Tatum should continue his success in not only the Playoffs, but against the Heat as well. I’ll back him to exceed 8.5 rebounds in Game 2.

IT’S 3PM SOMEWHERE!!

Celtics are the avengers, I fear
