Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Over/Under 29.5 Points
Durant has been scoring and shooting the ball very well over his last five games. He is averaging 28.4 points per game while shooting 55% from the floor and 42% from three.
In his last game against the Trailblazers, Durant scored 31 points, shot 61% from the floor, 100% from three. Portland does not have a good match-up for Durant, most teams don’t, but it’s especially evident in Portland. Take the over!
Over/Under 2.5 Three Pointers Made
The Portland Trailblazers are one of the best teams in the league at defending against the three. Portland only allows 10.9 three pointers made per game. This is second best in the league.
Durant because of his size and high release isn’t bothered by good defense but also will not force three point shots. He is more than willing to take mid-range jumpers if the defense is running him off of three point line. So, because of that, it is safer to take the under.
Over/Under 6.5 Rebounds
Durant has not been killing it on the boards lately. Over his last five games, he is averaging 4.6 rebounds per game. The former Texas Longhorn only grabbed four rebounds in his last game against the Trailblazers. Everything points to the under on this bet.
