Damian Lillard (POR) OVER 3.5 Three-pointers made
Lillard always prefers playing at home and this Suns team is going to give him plenty of open threes. They’re also better in the pain than on the perimeter, so we should see Lillard looking for a few extra outside shots in this one. He averages 3.4 threes per game on the season, but posts seven-plus threes on plenty of occasions. I look for Lillard to have a big game tonight and four threes seems like a lock to me.

Bojan Bogdanovic (UTA) UNDER 22.5 Points
Bojan Bogdanovic has been over 20 points just once in his last five games. The Detroit Pistons play at an average pace and I don’t love this match-up for Bogdanovic. The over/under sits at just 217 and the Jazz will have no issue slowing it down with the Pistons. Bogdanovic has made just 5-of-19 threes over the last three games and Bruce Brown is a solid defender that should be on him for the majority of the game. I’ll go under 22.5 for Bogdanovic.

Nikola Vucevic (ORL) OVER 19.5 Points
This may be my favorite prop of the day. Nikola Vucevic is always looking to shoot and he matches up perfectly with the fast-paced Atlanta Hawks. Vucevic has been over 20 points in four of his last five games and this is the best match-up to date. John Collins isn’t a great defender in the paint and I expect Vucevic to have a big game here. 20 points shouldn’t be a worry.
