A huge Saturday of NBA – the Knicks host the in-form Heat, the Spurs will look to stop Steph Curry after he poured 46 on them two days back, and the Rockets take on a surprise packet in the West in the Trail Blazers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portland Trail Blazers @ Houston Rockets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 7-3 Houston Rockets host the Portland Trail Blazers, who currently sit inside the top-eight in the West due to the work of Tiago Splitter taking over from Chauncy Billups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can the Rockets make it eight from their last nine, or will a resurgent Portland led by Deni Avdija cause some issues for the home team?<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 1 – Deni Avdija 20+ Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Off the back of a huge EuroBasket, Deni Avdija is following the Lauri Markkanen \u2018Most Improved\u2019 form-line by posting some huge numbers for Portland this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former Wizard is averaging 26.1 points per game so far this season, and has hit 20+ points in ten of his 11 games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last two weeks that average jumps to 30.2 per game – he\u2019ll continue to get the volume and free throw opportunities to hit 20+ in this.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 2 – Amen Thompson 6+ Rebounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Generally an outstanding rebound guard, I expect Amen Thompson to bounce back from a poor rebounding game last start against the Wizards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thompson only recorded one rebound the entire game, with his average across the season at 6.1 – but prior to the last game, it appeared Thompson was back to his rebounding best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to last start, Thompson averaged 8 rebounds over a six game stretch hitting 6+ in five of those games. With Portland conceding rebounds to point guards 12% above average, I expect the Rocket to bounce back.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 3 – Alperen Sengun 6+ Assists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Has been ultra-consistent this season especially as a distributor. Alperen Sengun averages 7.2 assists per game as Houston\u2019s starting centre, and has hit 6+ assists in every game he\u2019s played this season – a 100% strike rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portland concedes assists 9% above average to centres, so no reason why his 6+ assist streak won\u2019t continue.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAME GAME MULTI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Avdija 20+ Points \/ Thompson 6+ Rebounds \/ Sengun 6+ Assists = $3.10<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

VALUE BET<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reed Sheppard 15+ Points @ $3.80<\/strong><\/p>\n

Real question marks on the former third pick earlier in the season, but he\u2019s found his niche in this system as a sharp shooter from deep.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s all a minutes play for Reed Sheppard – when he plays 20 minutes or less, he doesn\u2019t get close to this, but he\u2019s played 24+ minutes in his last three games where he\u2019s hit 15+ points in all three contests including 21 against the Wizards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Sheppard\u2019s last four games of 20+ minutes he\u2019s hit 15+ points, and against a Portland outfit that are bottom 10 for opponent points, he\u2019ll get plenty of chances.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
