Portland Trail Blazers vs Boston Celtics Preview
Donovan Clingan Under 26.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Donovan Clingan's points, rebounds and assists line is simply too high in this spot.
Clingan's minutes for the Trail Blazers have been volatile at times this season.
Now, he draws a brutal matchup against the Celtics, a team that has allowed the second-fewest points in the paint and the sixth-fewest rebounding chances per game this year.
Derrick White Under 29.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Derrick White's prop line also looks inflated in this spot.
Other books have this number listed as low as 27.5, which lines up much more closely with my projections.
I have White projected for 27.2 points + rebounds + assists in this matchup against the Blazers tonight, making the current number feel too aggressive.
