He sees more opportunities as a starter, naturally, and that puts this prop line within his range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In seven starts this year, Jaquez has averaged 15.0 points and 3.7 assists (18.7 PA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portland Trail Blazers should be a good matchup for Jaquez to stay hot. Portland ranks 26th in defensive rating and allows the fourth-highest opponent field goal percentage (47.7%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, opposing small forwards average 4.4 assists against Portland (fourth-most in the NBA), per Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Jaquez has gone over 18.5 points\/assists in five of seven starts this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edey under 14.5 points\/rebounds (-118)<\/strong>: After missing a couple of games due to migraine issues, Zach Edey has yet to bounce back in the box score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight&#8217;s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves likely won&#8217;t make life any easier on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota is a lock-down defensive squad, holding opponents to the fourth-fewest points and eighth-fewest rebounds per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The T-Wolves have defended the paint particularly well in recent games, too. Their tied for the third-fewest opponent points in the paint over their past 15 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edey has gone under this total in three of four games since his return, averaging 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds. The 7-foot-4 Canadian is still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/basketball\/events\/5764501\">favoured to win<\/a> Rookie of the Year, but that doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s in for a big night on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edwards over 3.5 threes (-134)<\/strong>: Edwards is a volume shooter from beyond the arc, and the Memphis Grizzlies seem to encourage that sort of behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memphis&#8217; opponents attempt 39.6 threes per game, which is the fourth-most in the NBA. That has only equated to a 34.3% shooting percentage, but I still think this makes sense as a volume play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Edwards has attempted 11+ threes in four straight games, cashing this bet each time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s averaging 4.3 threes on a career-high 10.0 attempts this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Last game, Edwards went 4-of-11 from deep against the Orlando Magic, who allow a league-low 30.9 attempted threes per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards might just be matchup-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:49 a.m. ET on 01\/11\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only four NBA games on Saturday, and my focus is on the two late ones.
