Malcolm Brogdon Points Scored Props • Portland
The matchup against Phoenix is a tough one; when the Suns are playing at home, they have allowed the 6th-least points per game in the league to the opposition's starting PGs since the start of last season (17.6). The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 8th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the NBA as the away team this year. The Portland Trail Blazers will likely suffer a drop-off in possessions today from being pitted against the 5th-slowest pace-of-play visiting team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Suns). The Trail Blazers rank as the 10th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA while playing away from home since the start of last season (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists). The Phoenix Suns have allowed the 3rd-most offensive boards per game (12.3) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce additional chances for scoring and assists).
