Playoff Context

San Antonio is the heavy -545 favorite at home with a 2-1 series lead. Despite Portland’s 38.7% win probability, the Trail Blazers have been competitive in this series. Portland’s shooting and individual performances – particularly from Deni Avdija – have kept them in contention.

Pace and Shooting

Portland significantly outperforms from the free throw line (84.3% vs 76.3%).

Key Players and Projections

De’Aaron Fox projects at 19.6/4.1/6.0 and is the engine of the Spurs offense. Victor Wembanyama adds 15.4/5.4/1.8 and his defensive presence makes life difficult for Portland’s bigs.

Deni Avdija has been sensational for Portland. He carries a 9-game streak scoring 20+ points, averaging 27.8 over his last five. His prop line performance is staggering – he has gone OVER his PRA 35.5 line in 7 straight games with a last-5 average of 44.6. His Pts+Ast line (28.5) has been cleared in 7 consecutive games (avg 39.2).

Keldon Johnson of San Antonio has gone OVER his 7.5 points line in 12 consecutive games (avg 15.6 last 5), and his Pts+Reb combo (11.5) has been OVER in 12 straight (avg 21.8). Donovan Clingan rounds out Portland’s frontcourt with a 6-game streak with 8+ rebounds (avg 11.0 last 5).
