Scottie Barnes M/L Than 11.5 Rebounds + Assists
Scottie Barnes enters this matchup averaging 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game.
Despite that, the books are setting his rebounds and assists prop at 11.5 tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Barnes has a 28.2% usage rate, which puts him in the 97th percentile for his position group this season.
Plus, his assist rate is at 27.8%, which puts him in the 98th percentile for his position group. And going against this Blazers defense that ranks bottom half in both Points per 100 Possessions Allowed and Defensive Effective Field Goal percentage should help boost his numbers.
Let’s looks to take advantage of Barnes’ over in a favorable spot.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Scottie Barnes Over 11.5 Rebounds + Assists.
Damian Lillard M/L Than 6.5 Assists
The Milwaukee Bucks are set for a challenging matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
OKC enters this contest ranking 1st in both Defensive Points per 100 Possessions allowed, along with Defensive Effective Field Goal percentage.
Naturally, this will make scoring fairly difficult for the Bucks, and potentially limit Lillard’s ability to facilitate. A lot of the betting market is showing heavy juice toward the under on this wager and I agree with that movement.
I expect Lillard to be relatively limited in his passing efforts tonight against the leagues best defense.
DraftKings Pick6 Prediction: Damian Lillard Under 6.5 Assists
