Jayson Tatum over 1.5 steals (+225, FanDuel)
Phoenix Suns at Boston Celtics, 7:30 PM ET
Alex Barutha: As of writing, Boston is a 14-point favorite in this game, but Tatum hasn't been a victim of rest in big wins. He's played at least 30 minutes in 19 of his past 20 appearances. Though Tatum isn't a high-volume steals player (1.1 STL per game on the season), this is a good opportunity to bank on him having one of his better games at over 2-to-1 odds. Over the Suns' recent 5-game stretch, opponents are swiping the most steals per 48 minutes in the NBA against them.
Max Strus over 2.5 threes (+132, BetRivers)
Cleveland Cavaliers at San Antonio Spurs, 8:00 PM ET
Alex Barutha: A lot of books have this at 1.5 threes with heavy juice to the over, but I'd just rather take the plus-money at a higher number. Strus has taken 4+ threes in 11 of his past 12 games, making 2.3 per game at 42% during that stretch. When these teams played last month, Strus had four made threes. During the Spurs' recent six-game stretch where they've gone 1-5, they've allowed the fourth-most made threes per 48 minutes.
