Jayson Tatum to Record 1+ Blocks (-135)
I know we're normally accustomed to backing Tatum to be productive on the offensive end, but I've been very impressed with what I've seen him do on the other side of the ball this postseason run. He has recorded at least one block in 6 of his last 8 games and he also had a postseason high of 3 blocks in Game 1 of this series vs Cleveland. With the Celtics relying mostly on an aging Al Horford and Luke Kornet in the center positions, a lot of those duties have been transferred over to Tatum and he has responded well. The Cavs are averaging 48 points per game inside the paint for the series, if that number stays consistent in Game 5, Tatum should be able to block at least one of those attempts down low.
