Donovan Clingan (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-120)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers take on the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes will be on Donovan Clingan, particularly when it comes to his rebounding performance. While Clingan has been solid, averaging 13.2 boards over his last five games, a closer look reveals a telling trend. At home, his rebounds dip slightly to 12.4, and against the Nets, he's averaged just 10.7 rebounds. Now, consider that in their recent matchups, Clingan has only surpassed 12.5 rebounds in one of his last three games and managed to hit that mark just four out of six times at home. With the Nets' frontcourt tightening up defensively, it's not just about volume but efficiency. The numbers suggest Clingan is likely to fall short of that 12.5 figure. Betting the under feels like a smart play, given the matchup dynamics and his recent performance history.

Drake Powell (Brooklyn Nets) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-204)

When it comes to Drake Powell on the road, the numbers paint a compelling picture-one that suggests we lean toward the under for his three-pointers made. Despite his potential, Powell has seen his role shift recently, particularly in away games. He's been held to just 0.69 expected threes, which is a stark contrast to the 1.5 mark we're targeting.The Brooklyn Nets' defense has tightened up, and Powell's shooting struggles are evident, with his overall hit rate dipping to 11 for his last 11 away contests. While he's been on a hot streak finishing 4 for 4 lately, the backdrop of this match-up favors the under. Given the Nets' pressure and the adjustments in Powell's game, expecting him to exceed that threshold seems like a stretch. Grab the under on Powell's threes made; it looks poised for a solid hit.
