Quentin Grimes (Philadelphia 76ers) Under 29.5 Points (-1250)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Philadelphia 76ers gear up to host the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes are on Quentin Grimes, but betting enthusiasts might want to consider the under on his points. Despite his recent scoring surge averaging 24.6 points over the last five games, there's a catch when it comes to facing off against the Blazers. Historically, Grimes has only managed to notch 15 points in their last matchups, and in Philadelphia, that drops to 11.2. Moreover, even though he's hit the over in his last five outings, he's been less explosive at home, with only 21.4 points in his last three appearances. Given the context of this matchup and Grimes' expected stat value sitting at just 18.51, it's hard to see him eclipsing the 29.5 mark. With a 92.6% implied probability for the under, this feels like a smart play.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Portland Trail Blazers : Philadelphia 76ers Under 121.5 Team Total Points (-769)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The Philadelphia 76ers may not hit the anticipated 121.5 points against the Portland Trail Blazers, and here's why. The 76ers' offensive output has been impressive, but the model prediction suggests a slightly lower score of 119.71. Historically, the Blazers have been no slouch defensively either, and they're bound to bring their A-game to this matchup. The 76ers, while equipped with an arsenal of strong shooters, might struggle a bit to break through the Blazers' aggressive defense, consequently falling under the 121.5 point line. The implied probability of 88.5% further backs this strategy, hinting that the odds are considerably in favor of the 'Under' bet. All things considered, placing a wager on the 76ers to score under 121.5 points seems like a logical choice given the current circumstances and historical performances of both teams.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Deni Avdija, but don't be surprised if he falls short of that 14.5 rebounds and assists mark. While he's been solid overall, averaging 10.8 rebounds and 6 assists in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, his numbers dip to 10.4 rebounds and just 5 assists. Against the 76ers, Avdija has averaged only 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in away games, far below our target. Historically, he's managed to hit this high mark just 12 times in his last 17 away games. With the Sixers' defense tightening up, particularly at home, we can expect Avdija to struggle to reach that 14.5 threshold on Sunday. Betting the under seems like the smart play here.
