— Jayson Tatum MORE than 0.5 points
— Kyrie Irving MORE than 23.5 points
Thursday marks the beginning of both the Celtics and the Mavericks’ quest for their first title in over a decade. Boston since 2008, and Dallas since 2011.
The good news? PrizePicks has a FREE square available where you can take Jayson Tatum to score MORE than half a point. Spoiler alert: He’s scored zero points just once in his career, in a 6-minute effort against the Magic back in 2019.
But what should you pair it with? Well the villain is back in Kyrie Irving, and say what you will about the eight-time All-Star’s recent appearances in Boston, but he’s a DOG in the NBA Finals. In 13 career Finals games, Irving is averaging 27.7 points, and has scored less than 24 points just four times. I think he scores MORE than his PrizePicks total of 23.5.
