Deni Avdija (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When we look at Deni Avdija's recent performances, especially on the road, there's compelling reason to consider the Under on his points, rebounds, and assists combined. Averaging 33.59 in this category, he's been a solid contributor, but the numbers show a distinct dip when he's away from home. In his last five road games, he's clocked in just 25.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists - that's a stark contrast to his overall average. Specifically against the Nuggets, his away averages plummet: he's only managed 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in those matchups. With a hit rate of 9 out of his last 12 games away, it seems the altitude in Denver might just be a hurdle too high for Avdija tonight. Betting the Under on his 40.5 total feels like a smart play given these trends.

Donovan Clingan (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 13.5 Rebounds + Assists (-104)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Portland Trail Blazers, targeting Donovan Clingan for under 13.5 combined rebounds and assists feels like a smart play. Clingan has shown flashes of potential, averaging 10 rebounds and just 1.4 assists over his last five games, but the numbers tell a different story when facing this particular opponent. In matchups against the Blazers, his production dips-averaging just 12.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists overall, and even lower at 1 assist when playing away. With the pressure of the road and Denver's frontcourt depth, Clingan's opportunities to rack up those stats may be limited. Plus, his recent form, hitting the under in three of his last three games, suggests he's struggling to hit that combined mark. Taking the under here feels like a savvy, data-driven move.

Deni Avdija (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 32.5 Points + Assists (-104)

Deni Avdija has been a solid contributor for the Trail Blazers, but heading into this matchup against the Denver Nuggets, his recent numbers suggest he might struggle to hit that 32.5 mark in points and assists combined. Over his last five games, he's averaged 22.4 points and 6.6 assists, which gives him a total of 29-well below the line we're looking at. When playing away, those numbers dip further, with averages of 25.2 points and 7.4 assists. Even more telling is his performance against Denver; historically, he's averaged just 13.4 points and 5.8 assists when playing on the road against them. With an impressive hit rate of 14 out of 19 games overall, and 8 out of 12 away, this under bet feels like a smart move. Avdija might be a key player, but tonight, the numbers aren't on his side.
