Keldon Johnson topped the Spurs with 17 rebounding chances in Game 1, resulting in seven boards across just 20 minutes. Prior to the playoffs, Johnson had snatched four or more rebounds in 16 of his last 20 contests while averaging 9.0 rebounding chances in that span. Portland is not a good offensive team and that's emphasized by the Spurs interior defense, leading to misses and more rebounding opportunities. Game script says San Antonio (-11.5) rolls and Johnson and the bench could see more minutes in the second half. This prop is up to 4.5 rebounds O/U at some books but considering I have him projected for 4+ boards, I'll lay the juice on Over 3.5.
Expect Portland to continue to lean on Avdija after his 30-point performance in Game 1, where he logged a team-high 39 minutes and led the team with 21 shot attempts, well above his season average. The usage mirrors his 41-point outing in the play-in against Phoenix, when he took 22 shots in 38 minutes. He’s in elite form with 25+ points in eight straight games, and he’s consistently torched San Antonio with totals of 29, 29, and 37 this season.
Focus on Victor Wembanyama's last few weeks. The Frenchman scored at least 34 points in four of his final five regular-season games. He has been locked in for a bit. And as Sunday night made clear, the Portland Trail Blazers do not have a defender to slow down Wembanyama. Donovan Clingan may be a massive human being, but he is simply not quick or agile enough to defend Wembanyama outside the paint.
