Trail Blazers vs Celtics NBA 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 have been volatile at times for the Trail Blazers 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 PRA-line also looks inflated.
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 Portland, making the current number feel too aggressive.
Trail Blazers vs Celtics Betting Predictions
- Donovan Clingan Under 26.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-110)
- Derrick White Under 29.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-120)
