Jayson Tatum is known for his scoring ability, but he's been in great defensive form over his last few games. At Caesars Sportsbook, Tatum is a +178 to collect more than 1.5 steals when he faces the Indiana Pacers. Given his recent defensive form and the Pacers' standards for ball security, Tatum should collect a fair amount of steals once again.

On the season, Tatum is averaging 30.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.0 steals on 45.9% from the field and 34.4% from the three-point range. Over his last five games, Tatum has averaged 25.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals on 40.0% from the field and 20.5% from three. In two games against the Pacers, Tatum has averaged 36.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.

Tatum has collected two or more steals in three of his last five games. On the season he's cleared 1.5 steals in 18 of his 68 appearances this season. Stealing the ball hasn't been Tatum's focus this season, but against an Indiana team that commits 14.9 turnovers per game (23rd in the NBA) and allows 7.8 steals per game (23rd in the NBA), Tatum should clear 1.5 steals with ease.

Houston Rockets vs Memphis Grizzlies: Best Prop Bets

Alperen Sengun Rebounds Under 8.5 (+105) @ bet365

Alperen Sengun is the Houston Rockets' top paint presence, but he faces a tough challenge in his next game. At bet365, Sengun is a +105 to fall short of 8.5 rebounds when he takes on the Memphis Grizzlies. Sengun is a solid rebounder, but the Grizzlies' interior presence is too much to handle alone.

On the season, Sengun is averaging 14.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists on 55.6% shooting from the field and 30.6% from three-point range. In three games against the Grizzlies, Sengun is averaging 19.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on 73.5% from the field and 20.0% from the three-point range. In his last game, he posted 25 points, eight rebounds, and four assists on 73.3% from the field while failing to convert on his two three-point field goal attempts.

The Grizzlies are a tough team on the glass, averaging 46.8 boards per game (2nd in the NBA); Sengun will struggle matching up against Jaren Jackson Jr. Sengun has cleared 8.5 rebounds in just one of his last five games. However, on the season, Sengun has collected nine or more rebounds in 32 of his 66 appearances this season.

Toronto Raptors vs Detroit Pistons: Best Prop Bets

Jakob Poeltl Assists Under 2.5 (+132) @ FanDuel Sportsbook

Jakob Poeltl is a better passer than he gets credit for, but his passing numbers have been down since the Raptors lost some key players to injury. At FanDuel Sportsbook, Poeltl is a +132 to collect fewer than 2.5 assists when he faces the Pistons. In the Raptors' back-to-back losses, Poeltl's scoring has received a greater focus.

With Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, and Gary Trent Jr. unavailable due to injury, Poeltl has filled in by scoring more than his passing. On the season, Poeltl averaged 13.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists on 63.5% shooting from the field. Through the Raptors' back-to-back losses, Poeltl has averaged 21.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 0.5 assists on 66.7% from the field.

A solid passer, the Raptors' availability will influence Poeltl's lack of focus on playmaking more than his actual capabilities. Poeltl has failed to collect more than three assists in his last three games. However, Poeltl has cleared 2.5 assists in 34 of his 63 appearances.
