Two stars who would be considered heavyweight contenders by the NBA MVP odds during any other year will clash tonight, with Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs heading to Boston and squaring off with Jayson Tatum and the Celtics.

Tonight's hotly anticipated tilt begins at 7 p.m. ET from TD Garden, and we're featuring our best Spurs vs. Celtics predictions and player prop picks for this nationally televised contest on ESPN.

Surprisingly though (or perhaps not so much if you follow my picks), I'm backing two Unders in this star-studded affair. But we won't dare fade Wemby.

Of course, we need to start with a Wembanyama prop pick. And of course, it's an Over for one of the NBA's brightest stars. There are a lot of reasons to like this bet, too.

  • Despite the big man averaging just 11 rebounds per game this season, multiple projection models put him above 12 for today's game
  • There's also a ton of value across the board on Under point totals for this matchup, suggesting some slower play, tighter defense, and more rebounding opportunities
  • Wemby is coming off a 15-rebound game and has cleared this number in two of his last four outings

The Celtics are expected to win this affair, and they continue to serve as the favorite by the NBA championship odds. However, don't expect the victory to come as a result of Tatum distributing the ball regularly.

  • This profiles as the best bet of the three here, as Tatum is projected for only 5.5 assists on Wednesday
  • Based on that forecast, the break-even point (or the "fair" price) for this Under is -219
  • That's why we're getting roughly 18% positive expected value
  • Don't be surprised if this total dips to 5.5 ahead of tipoff

There's value on several point total Unders in this contest, and this one for Fox profiles as one of the most valuable.

  • Fox is projected for only 21.5 points despite going Over that number in three of his four games with the Spurs
  • I would buy this Under up to around -140
  • This total has already moved to 22.5 at a number of our best sports betting sites, and that's where playing the Under becomes tighter
  • In that case, I wouldn't play Under 22.5 at anything shorter than the -110 available at DraftKings
