Will second-year star Dylan Harper continue to cement himself as the Spurs\u2019 second-best scorer?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bl\">The prop market is a great way to wager on some of these questions, so let\u2019s jump right into the odds and analysis behind my plays on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, Oct. 27<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"bv\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/4kJjtBu\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jayson Tatum 3+ 3-Pointers Made (-189)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"c5\">Tatum has gotten off to a slow start shooting the 3-ball, going 5-for-22 across three games, including an 0-for-7 showing against Detroit in the season opener.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ca\">However, he was 2-for-5 from 3 on Monday in a blowout win against the Chicago Bulls, and the six-time All-Star has a great matchup against a struggling Brooklyn team on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cf\">The Nets are dead last in the NBA in opponent 3s made per game (17.3), and they\u2019re 28th in opponent 3-point percentage. So, this Boston team should look to bomb away from downtown, as they rank first in 3s made per game and fifth in 3-point attempts per game this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ck\">Tatum has four seasons in his NBA career where he averaged at least three made 3-pointers per game, and he took 10.1 3s per night in his last full season (the 2024-25 campaign). If he\u2019s anywhere near that usage against this Nets team, he\u2019s a great bet to go OVER on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Harper OVER 17.5 Points (-122)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cu\">The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Dylan Harper has entered San Antonio\u2019s starting lineup this season and is thriving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"cz\">Through three games, Harper is averaging 20.0 points on just under 17 shots per game, hitting 48.0 percent of his shots from the field. The young guard has faced two of the best defenses in the NBA \u2013 Oklahoma City and Houston \u2013 during this three-game stretch, yet he\u2019s scored at least 18 points in every game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d4\">So, I\u2019m buying Harper in Tuesday\u2019s battle against the Sacramento Kings, who are currently in the bottom five in the league in defensive rating. The Kings are off to an 0-3 start, allowing over 120 points to the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"d9\">That\u2019s great news for Harper and the Spurs, especially since Harper has been consistently involved as a lead scorer, taking 15 or more shots in every one of his games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"de\">There\u2019s a chance the Spurs go up big and play their bench more in this matchup, but Harper\u2019s usage is too enticing to pass up with San Antonio looking to get back to .500.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Walker Kessler UNDER 10.5 Rebounds (-124)<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"do\">Lakers big man Walker Kessler has yet to reach 10 rebounds in a game this season, racking up 24 total over his first three games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-22\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dt\">While Kessler is playing a major role for Los Angeles, he was limited by foul trouble in his last game, showing that there is some risk to betting on him in the prop market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"dy\">Now, Kessler takes on a Portland team that is No. 1 in the league in rebound percentage and has one of the best rebounders in the NBA in Donovan Clingan. While I think the Lakers big man still has a strong game \u2013 he\u2019s been a great rim-running threat for Luka Doncic \u2013 I still believe this prop is set too high.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"e3\">Kessler only has 17 total defensive rebounds in three games, and Portland has the highest offensive rebound rate in the NBA through the first two weeks. There\u2019s a chance Kessler gets his first double-digit rebound game of the season, but asking for 11 or more boards is a lot given his start to the 2026-27 season. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"ec\">Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"eh\">If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-28\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"em\">Find Peter Dewey&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1BIvWO-S-TFepu-8DBiXfx10kJJ4Zi7ctpMBVYK9oCZQ\/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
