Simply put, there just might not be a lot of rebounds to go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reid finished with four rebounds over 21 minutes when he saw the Raptors on Oct. 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes played in that game and was one of four players who out-rebounded Reid, finishing with eight boards. If Barnes does return tonight, this looks like a smash play to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Reid has finished under 5.5 rebounds in six of his past seven games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poeltl over 15.5 points (-105):<\/strong> If Barnes suits up, that&#8217;ll take a bite out of everyone else&#8217;s scoring potential \u2014 but I still think Poeltl can hit this over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, Barnes is a do-it-all player for the Raptors who is comfortable facilitating, too. He led the team in assists last year (6.1\/game) and sits at 6.0 APG so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poeltl is a guy that Barnes and the rest of the Raptors should be feeding right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>17.1 PPG on 60.8% shooting this season<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>16+ points in 8\/15 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>25+ points in three straight games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Timberwolves allow the 11th-most points per game to opposing centres, per Betting Pros. Toronto should continue to lean on Poeltl, especially if Barnes needs an easing-in process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 10:16 a.m. ET 11\/21\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scottie Barnes is questionable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves after logging a full practice on Wednesday, and that situation has influenced my prop picks for tonight.
