The Tatum and Powell 7 Leg Garden Parlay, by Agent Dime
Seven lines, six of them made threes: Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Paul George for Boston, Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis and Caleb Wilson for Chicago, plus Derrick White's passing.
Records are entering Tuesday. Boston hosts Brooklyn on Tuesday and Chicago hosts New York on Wednesday, so Dime will refresh records and injuries on game day. Boston's starters played 28 minutes or fewer in Monday's blowout, so that box score undersells their usual load.
