Clint Capela (Atlanta Hawks) Over 3.5 Points (-154)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we sink into our couches for an exciting Saturday night matchup between the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers, the talking point that's really got us buzzing is the player prop on Clint Capela. Now, Capela's not exactly a name that lights up the marquee - but when it comes to banking on over 3.5 points, this guy's a real thoroughbred. Just look at his recent performances. An impressive overall average of 7.4 points, hitting over 3.5 in his last five outings. And on home turf? Even better, averaging 8.8. Against the Trail Blazers specifically, he's been clicking at an 8.5 clip. So, while the Blazers are allowing an average of 15 points to their opponents, Capela's track record suggests he's more than equipped to clear that 3.5 mark. Backing Capela to hit over 3.5 seems like a slam dunk to me. Let's ride this
