✅ Jayson Tatum Under 27.5 points (+105 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐
✅ Josh Hart to record a double-double (+155 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐

🔥 Jayson Tatum Under 27.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Tatum has unfairly developed a reputation as a playoff shrinker after two poor scoring performances to start this series. That said, he's gone Under this total in both games against the Knicks, who have kept him at bay defensively. Overall, Tatum's failed to clear 28 points in 15 of his last 25 postseason appearances, so this total is too high for him at the moment.

✅ Best odds: +105 via Caesars (bet $10 to win $10.50 profit)

🔥 Josh Hart to record a double-double ⭐⭐⭐

This isn't our best play of the day, but it is our favorite value pick at longer odds. Hart has recorded three double-doubles in his last five playoff appearances, yet these odds at FanDuel imply just a 39.22% chance of him doing so again today.

He's averaging 18.5 points and 8.5 rebounds against Boston, so a decent performance in Game 3 could result in a profitable day for bettors at +155 odds with one of our best sports betting apps.

✅ Best odds: +155 via FanDuel (bet $10 to win $15.50 profit)
