For those without this market as an option, I would try to live bet his over around halftime if the game remains close. Why I like, this bet over just Jayson Tatum's regular points line is due to fear of blowout. If a blowout happens, he could be the leading scorer, scoring in the 20-25 range due to nobody playing more than 30 minutes.
Tatum is a different beast in home games. He averages three more points per game at home than on-road games. He doesn’t have much competition for this outside of Jaylen Brown, Mikal Bridges, and possibly Spencer Dinwiddie. Brooklyn, on paper, looks like a scarier defensive team, but stats suggest that they have been struggling defensively as they continue to figure out how to use all of their new pieces together.
Tatum also has a birthday narrative as he turns 25 today. I would expect him to want to make his big day a memorable one in front of the home crowd at the Garden. Tatum is coming off a 41-point performance, and he will look to build off that momentum here. Brooklyn should look to spread their scoring, which will bode well for us as we hope Tatum runs away as the top scorer; let's roll!
