Best bet: Harden over 2.5 threes (+100)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Los Angeles Clippers star has fallen under this number in all three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, Harden is chucking the ball from deep and is back in score-first mode as the No. 1 option with Kawhi Leonard out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The veteran guard has the ball in his hands a lot \u2014 he’s third in the NBA in usage \u2014 and is averaging 8.7 attempts per game. We have to go back to the 2019-20 season for the last time Harden had that volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While he’s been cold, hitting just 19.2% of his shots from deep, he’s averaging 37.7 minutes a game. As long as Harden is on the court and hoisting 3-point shots without another alpha playing alongside him, I’ll target him at this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tonight he gets the Portland Trail Blazers, who have allowed opponents to shoot a healthy 37.5% from distance early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Carter over 9.5 rebounds (-134):<\/strong> The Orlando Magic centre gets the team that drafted him tonight: the Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCarter isn’t a big offensive piece but he’s the team’s best rebounder and has started the season with four consecutive double-digit rebounding games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only nine players are averaging more than his 11.3 per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After seeing his minutes dwindle last year, he’s just up over 30.0 minutes a night for the first time in his career. It’s a sizeable jump from the 25.6 he logged a season ago when he averaged a career-low rounding total (6.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carter averaged at least 8.5 rebounds in three of the four prior years and Orlando has been significantly better on the glass than Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
