Jaylen Brown averages 28.7 points per game for the season. We’re well below that number here, likely because Jayson Tatum is now healthy. However, Brown averaged 29.7 points over 12 full games that he played with Tatum. He’s still going to be one of the focal points of the Celtics and he’s an efficient scorer, shooting 47.7% from the field for the season. I like his chances of scoring at least 26 points.

FanDuel. With Jayson Tatum making his remarkable return from his Achilles injury, his scoring has still remained second fiddle to Jaylen Brown. But one of the areas he’s made a tremendous impact is on the glass, averaging an even 10 rebounds per game in just 32.6 minutes per contest. Fully built up to 40 minutes in his last two regular season games, this is a terrific spot for Tatum to continue to hit the boards. The Sixers run small, and they’ve allowed the eighth most rebounds per game this year. Tatum has traditionally come out hitting the boards hard in the playoffs, with 10+ in his last three first round Game 1s. I expect today to follow suit.

Take away two games against the Hornets, and Jayson Tatum's rebounding numbers are even more eye-popping. He's grabbed 13, 13, 11, 18, 12, 12, and 11 boards in his last seven games against non-Charlotte teams. The Hornets give up the fewest rebounds in the NBA, while the 76ers surrender the eighth-most. Joel Embiid's absence should be another positive factor for this prop. Fully rested, Tatum should play 35-40 minutes.
