Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers at home, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, especially when it comes to his three-point shooting. While the rookie sensation has dazzled with his skill set, a closer look reveals that he's averaged just 1.8 threes at home over his last five games. Sure, he's had some standout performances, including hitting 3 against Portland in their last matchup, but consistency remains key.With a recent average of just 2.0 threes in his last five outings, it's clear that while he can light it up, he's not always finding his rhythm from beyond the arc. Given that his overall hit rate is solid but has dipped at home, targeting the under on Wembanyama's 2.5 threes makes sense. Expect him to be more focused on other aspects of his game against a Blazers defense that can complicate his perimeter looks.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 11.5 Rebounds (+106)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers at home, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but betting on him to go under 11.5 rebounds might just be the savvy move. While he's been a rebounding machine lately, averaging a robust 14 over his last five games, context is key here. At home, he's pulled down just 10.8 boards per game, and against Portland, that figure dips to around 9. The Blazers are no slouches in limiting rebounds, and with a hit rate of only 11 out of 19 at home for Wembanyama, the odds are leaning towards the under. Given his expected stat value of 10.67, we can see a clear path to staying under that 11.5 mark. Expect the Spurs to spread the floor, which could limit his opportunities to dominate the glass.
