In the following I dive into three of my favorite player props for game 2 on Wednesday between the Celtics and the Knicks Draftking's sports book.


Best Celtics vs. Knicks Player Requests on Draftking's Sportsbook

Jayson Tatum O 27.5 points (-125)

No team broke a loss this season this season than the Celtics, and Tatum was one of the main reasons for Boston's incredible ability to withdraw. After a loss this season, the superstar has an average of 28.7 ppg this season and has exceeded 27.5 points in 11 of these 20 starts. Tatum ended with 23 points in game 1, while he shot an ugly 30% from the field. The striker was after the loss that he chose some shots, for the media loudly and Tatum should be extremely aggressive in game 2, especially when driving to the basket.

Even after the poor shooting performance in game 1, Tatum is still an average of 31.4 ppg against the Knicks this season. He scored at least 32 points in three of these five games. So far, Tatum leads the Celtics with a usage rate of 32.4% in the late season. It is an average of 29.6 ppg. The 27-year-old exceeded 27.5 points in three of these five starts and is an elite bet for over 27.5 points in game 2.


Karl-Anthony Towns U 19.5 points (-125)

The cities fought against the Celtics this season. The center ended with only 14 points in game 1 and he scored 14 points or less in three of his five matchups with Boston. The fights of the cities in this matchup were not a surprise, since Boston took third place in the defensive evaluation and allow the second nightest points at centers in the NBA. The cities stayed under 19.5 points in four of its seven starts in this post -season, and its use was only 20%, which corresponds to a great decline compared to the use of 26.5% in the regular season.

As mentioned above, the Celtics are the best 20: 2 after a defeat this season and their victory game is a huge 19.1 ppg in this situation, which is also a popular number. Boston is a 10.5-point favorite for game 2 and it is possible to achieve a simple victory this evening, which would lead to lower minutes for cities and the Knicks starter. Combine the blowout risk because this is a bad Matchup for cities, and it is a simple bet for less than 19.5 points.


Al Horford O 13.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120)

Horford was strong for the Celtics this off -season and scored an average of 7.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. The veteran has exceeded 13.5 PRA until one of the six playoff games in Boston. During this post -season -Horford records 32.7 minutes per game, which rose considerably compared to 27.7, which he has on average in the regular season. Horford was particularly active on the glass and has an average of 12.8 back bumper chances per game.

With Sam Hauser (ankle) doubtful and Kristapaps Porzingis, who deals with an illness, Horford should continue to see in game 2 for about 30 minutes and have no problems surpassing this low 13.5 PRA line.
