Check out how Utah ranks defending those areas of the court, according to Cleaning the Glass:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>71.4 opposing FG% at the rim (30th in NBA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>44.8 opposing FG% in the short midrange (26th in NBA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This looks like a smash play even in a contest with reduced minutes potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Hartenstein takes 93% of his shots at the rim and in the short midrange (four to 14 feet from the basket). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powell over 20.5 points (-130)<\/strong>: Powell has really stepped up for the Los Angeles Clippers with Kawhi Leonard sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s averaging 23.6 points a night, shooting a clinical 49.2% from the field and 49.6% from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guard has gone over this mark in 11 of 16 games, including a 30-point performance against tonight&#8217;s opponent, the Portland Trail Blazers, in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powell just dropped 28 and 23 points against the Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors in his last two games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shouldn&#8217;t have an issue clearing this mark against a Portland squad sitting 21st in defensive rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Poole over 3.5 threes (+128)<\/strong>: This is another game with blowout potential as the last-place Washington Wizards take on the first-place Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, Poole isn&#8217;t shy to let loose from deep and Cleveland has been awful at defending the 3-point line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poole has only cleared this line in six of 16 games but he&#8217;s landed on exactly three 3s four times. He&#8217;s attempting 7.6 threes a night and went 4-of-7 from deep against the Cavs earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland has the second-highest opponent 3-point percentage (38.3) in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>Picks made at 10:19 a.m. ET on 12\/03\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no shortage of prop betting opportunities with 11 games on Tuesday&#8217;s NBA Cup slate.
