CaesarтАЩs. Even with Victor Wembanyama suiting up today (and IтАЩm sure heтАЩll be monitored closely) this is a soft line for Keldon Johnson, who averaged 5 rebounds per game with Wemby in the lineup this season. He should have issue clearing this total in 20 minutes today.
Even if VIctor Wembanyama returns to a full workload, I like Luke Kornet to keep contributing significantly. In Game 1, for example, Kornet delivered 10 points, six rebounds and an assist in just 14 minutes. And if Wembanyama is held out again, this number will jump.
This seems low for a red-hot Blazers PG averaging 23.3 ppg in three games this series. Wemby is back for the Spurs, so scoring inside will be more challenging. But Scott has hit five 3тАЩs in each of the last two games. He also scored 20 in his lone regular-season matchup vs. the Spurs. We'll ride all the trends.
Scoot Henderson has taken his production to another level in the playoffs. After he scored 18 points over 27 minutes in Game 1, he has logged 38 and 36 minutes the last two games. He came away with 31 and 21 points. Dating back to the regular season, he has averaged 17.4 points and 30 minutes over his last 11 games. He has also been a more efficient scorer at home this season, making this over even more appealing.
DraftKings. This line remains too low for Scoot Henderson, who continues to produce on the perimeter for the Spurs. With 18+ points in each game this series, Henderson has remained aggressive both attacking the basket and in catch and shoot opportunities. Brimming with confidence, IтАЩm backing Scoot again on his points line in Game 4.
