Jayson Tatum OVER 28.5 POINTS -118
You already know I love to come back to guys that win us money. Tatum just dropped 37 vs. Memphis, and I expect him to carry Boston to a win over the Nets. He is averaging 32 in L10 without Brown and has dropped at least 29 in 67% of the games this season without JB. The Nets are very average defensively, and when Tatum gets hot, he is very hard to stop. I expect him and KD to go toe to toe in this one and for both of them to score 30+.
Kevin Durant OVER 26.5 or 27.5 POINTS -122
I usually don’t like to play two props for points in the same game, but I can’t pass on this line for KD. Yes, he was injured more than a month, but in his first game back he looked like himself — an efficient 31 points. Averaging 29.3 for the season and over the line in 73% this season. If the Nets want to remain competitive, Durant is their only hope. Line available at Bet365, but absolutely playable at 27.5.
