Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the San Antonio Spurs host the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Dylan Harper, but a closer look suggests a compelling case for taking the under on his points and assists combined at 23.5. Harper has been productive, averaging 14.8 points and 4 assists over his last five games, but against the Blazers, he's only mustered 6.5 points and 2.5 assists on average. Digging deeper into his home performances shows a consistent trend; he averages just 14.4 points and 4 assists at home, with a striking hit rate of 18 out of 20 games falling under this mark. With the Spurs potentially focusing on defensive schemes against Harper, it's hard to envision him surpassing 23.5 in this matchup. So, while the hype may be there, the numbers tell a different tale, making the under an enticing play.

Dylan Harper (San Antonio Spurs) Under 28.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-122)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Spurs gear up to host the Trail Blazers, all eyes on Dylan Harper might be slightly misplaced. While he's shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he's unlikely to eclipse the 28.5 mark for points, rebounds, and assists. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4 assists, which adds up to a modest 22 points. Even at home, where he's slightly more productive, he still hovers around 14.4 points and 4.8 rebounds. Historically, Harper has struggled against the Blazers, managing only 6.5 points in their past encounters. With a home hit rate of 19 out of the last 20 games landing below this threshold, it seems prudent to expect a repeat performance. Given these factors, betting the under feels like a sound choice in this matchup.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, Luke Kornet presents an intriguing betting opportunity with the under on his rebounds set at 8.5. Despite his height and potential, Kornet has averaged just 4 rebounds over his last five games, and at home, that number slightly ticks up to 5.6. However, against the Blazers, his production drops to 4.8 rebounds per game at home. With the Spurs likely focusing on a team-oriented approach, Kornet may not see the floor enough to gather those necessary boards. The last eight games have showcased an impressive hit rate of 100% for the under, and his expected stat value sits at just 5.08. Given these trends and the matchup dynamics, placing a bet on Kornet to stay under 8.5 rebounds feels like a smart play.
