As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, Dylan Harper's rebounding numbers suggest that targeting the under on 4.5 boards is a savvy move. At home, Harper averages a respectable 4.8 rebounds, but against the Blazers, he's only managed 3 per game in their last five matchups, and that trend is worrisome. While he's had a solid run, hitting the over in his last four games, his overall average sits at just 3.2 rebounds. The Spurs' style of play may limit his opportunities to crash the boards, particularly against a Blazers squad that often spreads the floor. With a strong home hit rate of 14 out of 20, Harper's numbers suggest a slight regression, making the under a compelling option here. As the game unfolds, the numbers back up a likely solid performance that doesn't quite reach that threshold.
Jrue Holiday (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 3.5 Threes Made (-164)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Portland Trail Blazers head into San Antonio, all eyes will be on Jrue Holiday's three-point shooting. While Holiday has had his moments, the numbers suggest he might struggle to hit that 3.5 mark tonight. Over his last five outings, he's averaging 5 threes made overall, but his away performance dips to 3.8. Even more telling is his history against the Spurs-just 3.3 threes made on the road. The Spurs' defense has a knack for tightening up against perimeter shooters, and with Holiday's recent form against them showing an average of only 3.2 made threes, it's clear the odds favor the under. With a hit rate of 14 out of his last 20 away games falling below this line, it feels like a smart play to bet on Holiday staying under 3.5 tonight.
Julian Champagnie (San Antonio Spurs) Under 5.5 Rebounds (+111)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers, Julian Champagnie's rebounding numbers suggest a compelling case for taking the under on 5.5 boards. While he's averaged an impressive 6.6 rebounds over his last five games, those numbers take a dip when we zoom in on his home performances, where he's pulled down just 6 rebounds. Notably, against Portland, his average at home drops to 5.6. The Spurs will likely lean on their bigger players to dominate the glass, which could limit Champagnie's opportunities. Plus, over his last 16 games, he's only exceeded this mark 9 times. With an expected stat value of 4.79, the odds favor the under, especially considering the Spurs' overall game plan. As the home crowd roars, this matchup may not be as fruitful for Champagnie on the boards, making the under a savvy play.
