Trail Blazers vs. Suns Same Game Parlay
Leg #1: Under 217.5 Points (-110)
Two of the three meetings between the Trail Blazers and Suns during the regular season featured at least 237 points. While that would make this seem like an easy over, postseason NBA games tend to be lower scoring than regular-season games, and neither team is overly explosive offensively.
The Trail Blazers are averaging 115.5 points per game, while allowing 115.8. Meanwhile, the Suns are averaging just 112.6 points per contest, while allowing 111.5, the sixth-best mark in the league.
Leg #2: Toumani Camara Under 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (-134)
This is the safest play of this three-leg parlay, as shown by the price. Toumani Camara leads the Trail Blazers with 2.7 made three-pointers per game. However, the Suns have the second-best three-point defense in the league, allowing opponents to make just 34.7% of their attempts from beyond the arc.
Camara played all three games against Phoenix this season. He made two threes in two of those contests, and three in the other. Camara was just 7-of-24 in those contests, giving him a three-point shooting rate of just 29.1% against the Suns this season.
Leg #3: Donovan Clingan Over 13.5 Rebounds (+132)
Poor shooting from both teams means more rebounding opportunities for one of the best rebounding teams in the league. The Trail Blazers averaged 46 rebounds per game during the regular season, which was the sixth-most in the league. Donovan Clingan led the way for the team, averaging 11.6 rebounds per game, the third-most in the NBA.
Clingan pulled down at least 12 rebounds in all three games against the Suns this season, notching 15 in a 130-125 loss in early February. He has at least 14 rebounds in 24 games. In what has been a great matchup for him, I'll back Clingan at this excellent price, in what I expect to be a defensive struggle.
