Victor Wembanyama key to same-game parlay for Celtics vs. Spurs on Tuesday
The NBA's biggest game on Tuesday is a heavyweight battle between the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, and we've put together a three-leg same-game parlay for the matchup
Two of the NBA's best teams collide on Tuesday when Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs host Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics. Though both teams are in second place in their respective conferences, they're both red hot and expect to contend for berths in the NBA Finals. The Celtics recently welcomed Tatum back after he recovered from his Achilles injury, while Wembanyama has established himself as one of the NBA's most dangerous stars.
Nikola Vucevic is out for Boston and Payton Pritchard is questionable, while Harrison Barnes is out and Mason Plumlee is questionable for San Antonio. Tipoff at Frost Bank Center is set for 8 p.m. ET.

- Over 222.5
- Victor Wembanyama Under 3.5 Blocks
- Neemias Queta Under 9.5 Rebounds
Over 222.5
These are two strong defensive clubs, but with so many scorers on the floor, points will come in spades. Despite both teams trending to the Under all season, the model has the Over hitting in 60.8% of its simulations.
Victor Wembanyama Under 3.5 blocks
The towering Wembanyama has become known for swatting shots away, but this number is a full half block above his season average. Moreover, Wemby has hit his blocks Under in 14 of his last 25 games against teams with winning records. The model projects 2.6 blocks for Wembanyama.
Neemias Queta Under 9.5 rebounds
The Boston center has averaged 8.4 boards this season, and the model expects him to pull down 7.7 on Tuesday. That's a good bit of daylight from this 9.5 line, and makes this an appealing third leg of our parlay.
