Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Betting Analysis
We will look at some of my favorite props for the Blazers and Celtics tonight. It looks like Boston will have Tatum and Horford back, but Rob Williams is out due to injury, again.
Simons will be out for Portland tonight, and Nurkic is a game time decision as he’s coming back from a calf injury.
Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Rebounding Props
Portland has been a really bad rebounding team recently as they have only out-rebounded the other team one time in the last nine games. They rank 3rd worst in the NBA over the last 10 games in rebounding, so I’ll look to take advantage on the rebounding props for Boston.
Al Horford Over 6.5 Rebounds – With a couple days rest, Horford should be good to go and he’s gone over this total in 5 out of 8 games, and he’s had 14 and 11 in two of his last three games. It’s a great matchup, he should get over this total and maybe double digits.
Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Team Total Props
Trail Blazers Over 109.5 – The Celtics defense has not been dialed in recently as they are 18th over the last 10 games.
They’ve also given up 109 or more in five straight games, and Portland has had 110 or more in four straight. Marcus Smart isn’t the shut down defender he was last season so I expect Dame and company to be able to score from the perimeter.
Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Draftkings Same Game Parlay
I wanted to do something with Jaylen Brown over his points, as I really like how he’s been playing and Tatum hasn’t been real consistent recently, so I’ll start with Jaylen Brown over 23.5 points.
He’s easily cleared this in 5 out of 6 games, and Portland gives up 47 points to guards. I’ll also take Marcus Smart 1+ made three pointers.
He’s made one in 14 out of 15 games and 8 straight. And finally, I’ll take Lillard over 3.5 assists. He’s gone over this in 15 out of 16 games.
Jaylen Brown Over 23.5 Pts
Marcus Smart 1+ Made Three Pointer
Damian Lillard Over 3.5 Assists
Boston Celtics vs Portland Trail Blazers Player Props
Cam Reddish Over 18.5 Pts+Reb+Asst – He’s seen an increase in minutes and production recently, and with Simons out tonight he should see more. He’s had 30, 24, and 27 PRA his last three games without Simons in the lineup.
