Best NBA Player Props for Tuesday, March 10th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, March 10th:
- Jayson Tatum Over/Under 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Precious Achiuwa Over/Under 9.5 Rebounds
- Donovan Clingan Over/Under 10.5 Rebounds
Jayson Tatum UNDER 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-107, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSThis past Friday, Tatum returned from his Achilles injury after 298 days away from the game. He impressed in 27 minutes, scoring 15 points while grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out 7 assists. Still, he struggled with his efficiency, shooting only 6-for-16 from the floor against a Dallas team that ranks 23rd in defensive rating since the All-Star Break. Two days later, Tatum was similarly inefficient against a better Cleveland defense, finishing with 20 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in 27 minutes.
Tonight, he will play his third game in five days since being activated – and it will be his toughest test yet.
The Spurs rank 5th in defensive rating since the All-Star Break and 3rd in defensive rating for the entire season. Their perimeter defense has been particularly good of late, limiting volume and success on above-the-break 3-point attempts, which is where Tatum has seen a high frequency of his scoring opportunities.
Tatum exceeded expectations against the Mavericks on Friday, but it remains to be seen how his body responds to playing every other day in high-intensity matchups. This is also the third different city he’s played in during the last five days, so he’s getting back into the grind of an NBA travel routine too.
Precious Achiuwa OVER 9.5 Rebounds (+102, FanDuel)
FANDUELAchiuwa has been posting some gaudy rebound numbers of late, with at least 9 boards in 8 of his last 9 games. The underlying metrics have been strong in that span too – he’s had at least 15 rebounds chances in all 8 games that he’s had 9+ rebounds.
The Pacers have allowed the 10th-most rebounds per game since the All-Star Break. This is another great opportunity for Achiuwa to make an impact on the glass.
Donovan Clingan UNDER 10.5 Rebounds (-125, Hard Rock)
HARDROCKClingan has been rebounding the basketball at a high rate in recent weeks, but he draws an extremely tough matchup against Charlotte.
Since the All-Star Break, the Hornets have allowed the 3rd-fewest rebounds per game overall and the 2nd-fewest rebounds per game to centers. When these two teams met on February 28th, Clingan was held to only 8 rebounds on 14 rebound chances. There is value on the under.
