Bryan Armetta highlights three NBA player prop bets he likes for Wednesday's nine-game slate, including GG Jackson of the Grizzlies, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics, and Tre Jones of the Bulls.

Why it matters

With a full slate of NBA games on Wednesday, there are plenty of opportunities for bettors to find value in player prop bets. Armetta's picks target key players and matchups that could lead to strong individual performances.

The details

Armetta's first pick is GG Jackson of the Grizzlies, who has been a focal point of the offense since the All-Star break and should find success from three-point range against the Knicks' porous perimeter defense. For the Celtics, Jayson Tatum is starting to heat up and could thrive in a potential shootout against the fast-paced Heat. Finally, Tre Jones of the Bulls is an underrated guard who should stuff the stat sheet against the rebounding-challenged Pacers.

  • Since the All-Star break, GG Jackson has averaged 17.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
  • Jayson Tatum has tallied a combined 58 points over his last two contests for the Celtics.
  • Tre Jones has snagged at least four rebounds in five of his last six games for the Bulls.
