The Blazers have struggled defensively, which bodes well for Harper. In their last matchup, he scored 9.5 points at home against them and, with a perfect hit rate of 12 for 12 in his last dozen games, it's hard not to feel confident about his chances.

Expect him to exceed that 11.5 mark, especially in front of a home crowd eager to rally behind their young star.

Scoot Henderson (Portland Trail Blazers) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (+166)

As the Trail Blazers head into San Antonio, all eyes should be on Scoot Henderson, especially for the points and rebounds prop set at 14.5. This young star has shown remarkable resilience on the road, averaging 15 points and 3 rebounds in his last five away games. He's not just a scorer; he's increasingly becoming a well-rounded player. Notably, in his last 12 outings, he's hit the over on this mark nine times-a strong indicator of his growing confidence. Playing against the Spurs, who can be vulnerable against dynamic guards, Scoot has historically stepped up, averaging 12.2 points in their last away matchup. With a solid hit rate of 4 out of 5 away games recently, it feels like a prime opportunity for him to shine. Expect him to not just meet, but likely exceed that 14.5 threshold as he looks to solidify his role in this young, rebuilding roster.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 11.5 Rebounds (+106)

As the Spurs gear up to take on the Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, the highly touted rookie who's shown flashes of brilliance this season. However, when it comes to rebounds, this might be a game to consider the under on his line of 11.5. Sure, he's been a rebounding machine lately, averaging 14 boards over his last five games. But let's dig deeper. At home, he's pulling down just 10.8 rebounds per game. Against Portland, he's averaged only 9 boards recently; their bigs can be surprisingly effective at boxing out. Moreover, in his last 19 home games, he's only surpassed this mark 11 times. Betting the under might seem counterintuitive, but the numbers suggest a more tempered performance in this matchup. With an expected stat value of 10.68, it's a prudent move to lean towards the under here.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-139)

As the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but betting on him to hit more than 2.5 threes might be a stretch. While he excels overall, his recent home performances show a slight dip, averaging just 1.8 threes made in his last five at the AT&T Center. Even against the Blazers-a team he's managed 3 threes against in previous matchups-there's a nuanced reality. Wembanyama's been on fire, hitting 4 out of his last 4 attempts overall, but those have often come in high-volume games. The Spurs' strategy and rotation might limit his looks, especially with a challenging defensive setup from Portland. Given these trends and the expected value sitting at 1.81, we're leaning toward the under on Wembanyama for threes made. It's a calculated play that taps into both his potential and recent home form.
