New Orleans Pelicans SF Brandon Ingram OVER 2.5 made 3-pointers (-130)
Ingram missed out on a second straight All-Star appearance despite having a career-high 53.7% effective field-goal percentage because he plays in a Western Conference stacked with elite wings.
Ingram’s 3-point shooting percentage has taken a dip from last season, but he should at least have the volume to clear 2.5 made 3-pointers Thursday.
The Heat are one of only two teams that allow more 3-point attempts per game than the Pelicans and Miami allows the second-most 3-point attempts to opposing small forwards on the third-highest 3-point percentage.
Furthermore, Ingram has taken eight 3-pointers in each of his last two games against the Heat and made 4 of eight attempts in their meeting earlier this season. Miami could be without NBA All-Defense SF Jimmy Butler for this game, as well.

Portland Trail Blazers C Enes Kanter OVER 13.5 rebounds (+105)
The Sacramento Kings travel to the Rose City to play the Blazers in what’s usually a fast-paced, high-scoring shootout and that leads to a lot of possession and inflated rebounding numbers.
Kanteris one of the best glass cleaners in the Association. He has gone Over 13.5 rebounds in four of his previous five games and is averaging 14.2 rebounds over that stretch.

Kanter didn’t start either of the first two Kings-Trail Blazers meetings this season and didn’t play 20 minutes in either game, but he grabbed 15 boards in the first meeting.
Kanter is averaging 30.0 minutes per game since being named a starter and in those games where he’s played at least 30 minutes, he is averaging 14.5 rebounds per game.
Since he didn’t play 25 minutes in either of his last two games, there should be enough in the tank for Kanter to play extended minutes against the Kings, whose C Richaun Holmes is one of their most important players.
Kanter is third in the league in rebounding percentage and second in offensive rebounding rate. The Kings have the lowest defensive rebounding rate and give up the fourth-most rebounds to opposing centers in the NBA.
BET KANTER OVER 13.5 REBOUNDS (+105) for 1 unit.
