NBA Parlay Leg 1: Boston Celtics -5.5 (-106)
Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavaliers Match Details
Fixture: Cavaliers @ Celtics
Date and Time: Friday, October 29; 7:30 pm EST
Venue: TD Garden
Although the Celtics and the Cavs have the same record, the Celtics are far more battle-tested than the Cavs' new-look roster.
Already this season, the Celtics have knocked off the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers, two legitimate contenders, while the Cavs haven't seen any opponent of that caliber.
Tatum and the Celtics will be fresh off a four-day rest and ready to get back to it. Everybody will be extremely fresh and hungry to bounce back after their first loss against the Chicago Bulls. The Celtics went cold that night and will look to bring the hot hand back to tackle the Cavs.
NBA Parlay Leg 2: Jayson Tatum 25+ Points (-174)
Tatum leads the Celtics in scoring and is also tied for first in the league with 32.5 PPG. He has been absolutely dominant to start the season and, much like the rest of the Celtics team, won't be denied by the Cavaliers.
Cleveland has a solid defense down low, so Tatum will have to bring his jumper tonight. Tatum is 6' 8" and 210 and can bang around in the paint with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. He's going to score close to 30 not just to keep his PPG average, but because he's proving on a nightly basis that the Celtics are his team.

NBA Parlay Leg 3: Jayson Tatum 6+ Rebounds (-280)
This is the second stat we're getting for Tatum that's below his nightly average. He averages 8.5 rebounds a night, and with -280, we're paying a little tax on the numbers below his average.
Given the big bodies in the Cavaliers lineup, it's not a bad hedge. It's not just Tatum's mission to score points, it's his mission to do what's best for the team and win games. That's a lesson we really learned from watching the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals last season.
He's going to do whatever it takes, and that's why his rebound numbers have increased already this season since the last one. Six is a very manageable number for Tatum.
