Due to the Lakers’ troubles, specifically on the road as they are 1-3 away, sportsbooks expect Tatum to have his first big scoring night at home this season against LA.
Tatum Combined Totals
Sportsbooks also set Tatum’s combined points, rebounds, and assists at 38.5, but this time the Under is heavily favored in this betting line.
Over/Under – Pts + Reb + Ast Jayson Tatum
- Over 38.5 -108
- Under 38.5 -120
Tatum is averaging 24.2 PPG, 8.5 REB, and 3.5 AST on the season for a combined 36.2. At home, this drops to 33.2 as he averages just 22 PPG, 7.8 REB, and 3.4 AST.
Tatum combined for 48 in his last game against the Atlanta Hawks and has hit Over 38.5 in every high-scoring game he had this season. If bettors expect Tatum to score over 26.5, then based on his previous games, Tatum should hit the Over for his combined stats as well.
While you cant parlay both betting lines at NBA sportsbooks, taking two separate single bets on these lines could net two winning tickets if Tatum has an overall big night.
Tatum will face the Lakers starting at 7:30 p.m. EST on ESPN.
