Playable at 28.5 (CZR) Tatum has been cooking with gas this season and is averaging 29.9 points per game with a 73% hit rate on this 27.5 points prop. Tonight, Tatum gets a NBA Cup matchup against the lowly Washington Wizards who Boston should be trying to blow out while keeping their foot on the gas to improve their group point differential. While I have some reservations about just how much Boston cares about the NBA Cup title, they still shouldn’t have any issues taking care of the Wizards. The Wizards play at the league’s fourth-fastest Pace with the league’s worst defense, per Dunks and Threes. There will be a plethora of opportunities for Tatum to cook against this defense. Tatum has scored at least 25 points in 4/5 games against Washington the last two seasons and even though he scored just 25 in the one game this season against the Wizards he still took 20 shots which is right in line with his season averages. In blowout wins (15+ points) Tatum actually averages more points per game than his season average with a healthy 31.6 ppg. I like Tatum to exceed 28.5 points with the additional upside if Boston truly tries to run up the score on Washington for the Cup standings.
