Shaedon Sharpe Points Prop is currently Over/Under 9.5 (+103/-133).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Portland Trail Blazers check in as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to added opportunities for scoring and assists).
The Pelicans have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (9.2) in the NBA to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
The matchup against the Pelicans may be a tough one for drawing fouls; opposing squads have attempted a measly 18.3 foul shots per game over the last 10 games when the Pelicans are at home (2nd-least in the NBA).
Favors Under
The Portland Trail Blazers have been the lowest scoring offense in the league over the last 25 games.
This matchup is a good one for threes; when the Pelicans are at home, opposing squads have shot for the 8th-highest 3-point percentage in the NBA against them this year (36.2%).
The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 10th-least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games while on the road.
The Pelicans have played at the 2nd-least up-tempo pace in the NBA over the last 10 games in their home stadium, which should lead to fewer plays for the Trail Blazers.
Shaedon Sharpe has made 0.6 free throws per game since the start of last season, ranking him in the 25th percentile out of all players in the NBA.
