Matisse Thybulle (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-133)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers face off against the Denver Nuggets, targeting Matisse Thybulle for under 1.5 threes made presents a compelling case. Despite his recent form, where he's averaged 1.8 threes in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, Thybulle has only managed 1.2 threes per game, and against Denver, that drops to just one in their recent matchups. With the Nuggets boasting a staunch defense, Thybulle will likely find it tough to create space for his shots. Plus, he's hit the under in 14 of his last 19 outings, showcasing a trend that's hard to ignore. Recent history also favors this bet; he's gone under in all three of his last away games. As the odds favor this outcome, it's worth placing your chips on Thybulle to stay under the mark in this tight contest.
