The Spurs have allowed the 4th most points & 5th most rebounds to opposing centers during the last 30 days and they have allowed the 2nd most points on the season (24.9\/game). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Allen hasn’t faced San Antonio yet this season, but he recorded double doubles in both head-to-head meetings last season with 29 & 26 points and 16 rebounds in both games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Allen only recorded 8 rebounds in last game against the Portland Trailblazers, but he had 23 rebound chances and without Mobley in the mix he should see a higher conversion rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is potential for a blowout with the spread being set at 14.5 but Cleveland doesn’t have much left to play for and a blowout will lead mean Allen had plenty of scoring and rebounding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ja Morant has been ruled out for this contest (hamstring) and Desmond Bane has fallen short of this line in 6 of 9 games without him against teams that rank above average in assists allowed while averaging only 4.9 assists on 8 potential assists per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now he’s facing an Oklahoma City Thunder team that has allowed the 5th fewest assists on the season with 24.6 per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bane has already fallen short of this line in three games against OKC this season with only 1, 5 and 4 assists 4, 12 and 8 potential assists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bane prefers home cooking where he’s covered this line at a 53% clip compared to a 40% mark on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He’s also fallen short of this number in 18 of the last 25 Memphis losses and the Grizzlies are 10-point underdogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without Morant on the court, Bane will take on more of a scoring role which will limit his assist opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gear up for the Madness with our must-have 2025 March Madness Guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s what’s included in your FREE 9-page Betting Guide<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2705 21 Proven March Madness Betting Systems & Sub-Systems<\/strong> Need an extra hand breaking down today’s basketball slate?
