Dylan Harper (San Antonio Spurs) Under 22.5 Points + Assists (-104)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Dylan Harper, but a closer look at the numbers suggests a different narrative for his performance. Harper has been steady, averaging 14.8 points and 4 assists in his last five games, but against the Trail Blazers, he's struggled to find his rhythm, posting only 6.5 points and 2.5 assists on average. At home, those numbers dip slightly to 6 points and 3 assists, indicating that he hasn't capitalized on the familiar surroundings. With a recent hit rate of just 6 out of 7 games staying under 22.5 points and assists, it's clear he's not a primary scorer against this opponent. Given all these factors, the under on Harper's combined points and assists feels like a savvy play in this matchup.

Dylan Harper (San Antonio Spurs) Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Dylan Harper finds himself in a challenging spot as the Spurs face the Trail Blazers at home. While he's a promising talent, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit the over on 27.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists. In his last five games, Harper averaged just 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4 assists-numbers that fall significantly below our target. When facing the Blazers, his offensive output dips to around 6.5 points, and at home, the trend continues with only 6 points against them. Additionally, Harper has a stellar record of hitting the under in 19 of his last 20 home games, reflecting his tendency to underperform in this matchup. With Portland's defense tightening up, it's reasonable to expect Harper to come in under the mark once again. This bet leans heavily on recent performance and historical matchups, making it a solid choice.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 31.5 Points + Assists (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Cooper Flagg heads into this matchup against the Phoenix Suns, the numbers suggest a solid case for taking the under on his combined points and assists at 31.5. While he's been impressive overall, averaging 30.4 points and 3.6 assists in his last five games, those figures drop when he's on the road-his away averages are just 23 points and 4.4 assists. Against the Suns, his historical performance isn't particularly daunting either, with just 21.5 points per game over their last five encounters. Even more revealing is his recent trend; over his last three away games, Flagg has exceeded this line only once. With an expected stat value of 24.14, it feels like a stretch to believe he'll clear this threshold against a well-structured Phoenix defense. Given these trends, betting the under appears to be a savvy move.
