Deni Avdija 5+ Assists (-129)
Is Deni a Circle of Trust guy? Not yet. He's into us for almost $270, and there's only one way out at this point. He needs to cash for us. I think he can do it.
For starters, this line is kind of dumb. He's coming off a game where he had 14 potential assists. He was only able to cash in on 6 of them, but whatever. We only need 5 tonight.
The Blazers have only played 2 games, and one was a blowout, so we don't really know a lot about how the new pieces will work together with last year's alpha. In their only competitive game, Avdija played 37 minutes, so my guess is that this is going to be "the way" going forward.
We just need this game to stay close enough, and when that happens, Avdija should play 35+ minutes. That should give him more than enough time to find at least 5 dimes tonight. Feels easy.
