Fred VanVleet under 22,5 points (-118)
The Raptors will come in winning back-to-back games and sit just behind Boston in the Atlantic. This team has been relying on their defense, allowing the seventh fewest- points, and are a team that likes to pressure you from half-court and keep their opponent from attempting shots.
They played efficiently on defense in their last game against the Hawks and ran through Atlanta offensively with a 139-109 win.
I don’t know if Vegas has adjusted these totals because of the last matchup, but VanVleet did not play in that game. He’s averaging just under 19 points per game this year, which is about the same against the Hawks in his last four.
Reggie Jackson over 11.5 points (-128)
The Clippers getting Kawhi Leonard back will hopefully improve an offense that sits last in the league in points per game. What has kept them afloat is that they are the best defense in the league, and the stark contrast has kept them close in most games but has not allowed them to finish in most.
They should see a better offensive effort as they host San Antonio and their last-ranked defense. Reggie Jackson’s minutes have slightly diminished this year, but he’s still an essential piece, and that’s why they re-signed him.
His point total today is at his season average, but the Spurs’ backcourt defense has been below average allowing 20 points per game to point guards. He put up 23 against a bad Detroit defense and will come close to that again.
Rudy Gobert under 12.5 rebounds (+108)
The Timberwolves have sputtered over the last couple of weeks. They are coming into today losing six of their previous nine, and those wins are against the Rockets, Magic, and a recently struggling Cavaliers. Last season’s top offense has moved down to ninth, but the defense sits in the bottom ten.
They picked up Rudy Gobert to improve their presence on the boards, and he’s doing his job as the top rebounder in the league, but the team’s rebound differential from last year to now is just 0.2.
Tonight we’re going to see him in a battle with Joel Embiid, which will undoubtedly be exciting. Embiid isn’t far off grabbing ten boards from Gobert’s 12, and I have this being even and not enough rebounds to go around and grab this prop.
