These teams rank 6th and 7th in pace of play which is reflected in the total of 237 and the spread is only -6 so JV should see his full share of minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering Valanciunas has landed on 25 PA in 2 of his last 3 head-to head games with Joker, laddering this play makes all the sense in the world as Valanciunas seems to take this matchup personally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton will remain out for this contest and Deni Avdija has recorded 6, 12, 5 and 12 rebounds (avg 8.8\/game) in four games without them this season while averaging 15+ rebound chances per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Avdija has also recorded 7+ rebounds in 3 of his last 4 head-to-head games against the Boston Celtics. The Celtics rank just below average in rebounds allowed to opposing small forwards but five straight opposing starting players have cleared their respective lines from that position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It looks like Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday will miss this contest and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are questionable so this could end up being a close game despite -10.5 point spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of who plays, Boston will be firing away three-pointers and Avdija leads the Blazers in rebounds off threes so he could easily lead Portland on the boards in this game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have seen Avdija record double digit rebounds in 2 of 4 games without Ayton & Grant and in 2 of his last 4 head-to-heads against Boston so 9+ rebounds at +350 is certainly worth a sprinkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Need an extra hand breaking down today’s basketball slate?
