Trail Blazers vs. Raptors prop picks: Fade Barnes in brutal matchup
The Toronto Raptors are on a three-game losing streak. They play the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Sunday.
Trail Blazers vs. Raptors prop picks for January 8. Scottie Barnes has a tough matchup with Jerami Grant. Fred VanVleet's number of shots should lead to an over. Josh Hart has been putting up points lately.
Barnes is under 27.5 PRA. Portland's defence is good at limiting points and rebounds. The team's power forward is a tough matchup for Barnes. The Trail Blazers have the only defence in the NBA that ranks in top five at restricting power forwards’ points, rebounds and assists.
VanVleet is putting up plenty of points on his volume of attempts alone. Portland's defence is solid, but Damian Lillard isn't a stopper at the point guard position.
Hart is a plus bet for the Raptors. The line is right around Hart's season-long points per game mark (9.6). Hart has scored double-digit points in 10 of his last 15 games.
