Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards Trae Young under 24.5 points…
Thomas: “Could this be a great buy-low spot for Young? He’s scored at least 25 points in four straight and six of his last seven games.
It is a tricky matchup for betting an under, though. The Rockets aren’t great against opposing point guards. They are giving up the third-most points at 25.6 per game.
In any buy-low spot, there is some bit of variance that is needed. It’s just a lean at this point.”
