NBA Best Bets for Tuesday, April 7

NBA Finals Betting Trends & Interesting Game 1 Facts

Jayson Tatum Over 13.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100)

Let's start with what should be the best matchup of the night, as the Boston Celtics take on the Charlotte Hornets.

It appears Jayson Tatum has found his rhythm over his past five games, averaging 25.8 points per contest. But if we zoom out just a bit further, what really stands out is his impact beyond scoring. Over his last six games, Tatum is putting up 11.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

One of those outings did come against Charlotte. He dropped 32 points in that matchup, but fell just short of this line, finishing with eight assists and five rebounds.

I'm expecting him to clear 13.5 rebounds and assists this time around. The price is simply too good for a number he's gone over in five of his last six, with that Hornets game being the lone miss.

Look for Tatum to continue stuffing the stat sheet and making his presence felt in ways that go well beyond scoring.

Precious Achiuwa Over 6.5 Rebounds (-120)

Let's head out to the Bay Area, where the Golden State Warriors host the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.

Stephen Curry returned to action in Golden State's last game, pouring in 29 points on 52.4% shooting from the floor, but that's not where my betting attention is going.

Instead, I'll be targeting Kings big man Precious Achiuwa to grab seven or more rebounds tonight.

Achiuwa was dominant on the glass throughout March, averaging 9.3 rebounds per game while clearing this 6.5 line in 13 of 14 contests. He's carried that momentum into April as well, posting rebound totals of 19, seven and five over his last three games.

So with his prop sitting at just 6.5 again tonight, this feels like a number we should be taking advantage of. He's consistently lived above this line over the past month, and I'll gladly back him to do it once more.

Royce O'Neale Over 1.5 3-Pointers (-120)

We'll cap off Tuesday night's card with a look at Royce O'Neale from beyond the arc, as his Phoenix Suns take on the Houston Rockets.

On the season, Houston has been one of the better teams defending the perimeter, ranking sixth in three-point percentage allowed and ninth in three-point attempt rate allowed. But that defense has slipped a bit lately, falling to 20th in three-point percentage allowed since the start of March.

O'Neale is about as three-point reliant as it gets, with 82% of his shot attempts coming from deep, and he's knocking them down at a strong 41% clip this season.

He's cooled off a bit over his last two games, hitting just one three in each, which is likely why we're getting a softer number tonight. Before that mini dip, he averaged three made threes on seven attempts per game throughout March.

I'll look for O'Neale to bounce back and get back to his usual volume from deep in this matchup against Houston.
