🎙️ @CashThatPodcast got this first overnight at -110 so it pays to tune in! The Boston Celtics face off against the Chicago Bulls for their first game out of the break and one player I expect to thrive is Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis sets up well for this spot against a Chicago team that allows the highest frequency of 3s in the league. Despite this high frequency, their overall 3-point percentage allowed is about league average at 37.2%. Chicago has been able to mitigate the 3 point damage due to their strong point-of-attack defense with Caruso, Dosunmo, and White. They don't allow offensive players to take them off the dribble or while engaged defensively. Rather, Chicago allows a particular type of 3. The catch-and-shoot. When opponents take 0 dribbles, they shoot 38.7% from 3 against Chicago, and even overall, Chicago allows the most FGAs per game on zero dribbles. While the POA defense is strong, the rotations haven't been as crisp. Porzingis takes the third-most FGAs per game without dribbling the basketball (9.0) with a 63.8% eFG%. He has been excellent from both 2 point and 3 point range on 0 dribbles, a shot which comprises 70.1% of his attempts overall. On the season, Porzingis has exceeded 18.5 points in 57% of games while averaging 20.2 and in 8 games this season with 3+ days of rest he has averaged 21.4 ppg. I expect Porzingis to exceed 18.5 points with the best current price being (-125) at MGM.
