Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers host the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes will be on Donovan Clingan, but a closer look at the numbers suggests he might not hit the over on 12.5 rebounds. While Clingan's recent performances display a commendable average of 13.2 rebounds, his matchup against Brooklyn presents challenges. Historically, he's averaged just 10.7 boards against them, and at home, that figure drops to 14, which is still below our target. Moreover, the Nets rank well defensively, often pushing bigs like Clingan into difficult positions. With his recent home hit rate at 66.7%, the odds are in our favor. Given the expected stat value of 11.04 and an implied probability of 54.6%, betting on the under feels like a smart play. Clingan might find it tough to dominate the glass this time around, making the under on his rebounds a savvy choice.

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

When it comes to Drake Powell's shooting from beyond the arc, the numbers suggest a compelling narrative for this matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. As he steps into this away game, Powell has consistently struggled to find his rhythm, especially with threes. In fact, he's hit the Under on this mark in his last 11 away games-an impressive streak that reveals a tendency to shy away from the long ball when outside of familiar territory.The Blazers' defense has been tight, effectively contesting perimeter shots, and with Powell's expected stat value hovering around 0.69, it's difficult to see him breaching that 1.5 threshold. Given that he's hit the Under in his last four games, it's clear there's a trend favoring his absence from the three-point spotlight. Betting on Powell to fall under 1.5 threes seems not just safe but smart, as he navigates through a challenging road environment.
