Trail Blazers-Rockets Total Three Point Shots Made Over 13.5 [-125]
Rockets have actually been hotter from three than Portland over their last five, shooting 44%. They have a wide variety of options to hit the deep ball from Dragic, Lowry, Budinger, Lee and Parsons. Portland of course counters with their own array of three point assassins with Felton, Matthews, Batum, Crawford and Babbitt. Portland had one of their rare off-games with just six makes last time out. Both these teams though are capable of hitting double digits on any given night and both are routinely making in the neighborhood of eight threes or better.
Clippers-Grizzlies Total Three Point Shots Made Over 11.5 [-115]
I think books are underestimating the Grizzlies a bit in the three point category. While their season averages are low [4/13 per game] - they have come on of late and continue to show good accuracy. Memphis has made 37/86 over their last five. They are showing more willingness to take and make threes. The addition of Arenas again has added another shooter to the stable of Conley, Gay, Mayo and Pondexter. The Clippers remain a good volume shooting three point club. They average almost eight makes per game on 22 shot attempts. They have nine or more makes in four of their last five. Albeit with some different personnel, both meetings this season between these two have seen more than a dozen made threes.
