In a game like this, the focus usually shifts to the main option, especially for a team that relies heavily on one player to carry the offense.

If you’re considering this type of prop, 2UP is worth checking, especially as a crypto-friendly platform with quick transactions.

Portland’s offense revolves around Deni Avdija, and that’s been clear throughout the season.

He’s not just a scorer – he handles the ball, creates for others and contributes on the boards, which makes PRA lines particularly relevant for his role.

His regular season averages already sit close to this number – 24.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists. That puts him right around the mid-30s range without needing an outlier performance.

The play-in game against Phoenix showed exactly what his ceiling looks like.

In a must-win situation, he finished with 41 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists, carrying the team to a 114-110 win as underdogs.

That kind of usage is hard to ignore heading into a playoff series.

Nothing really changes here in terms of responsibility.

Portland Trail Blazers will need him to produce across all categories again, especially against a Spurs team that can force others to step up.

With the ball in his hands for most possessions and minutes expected to stay high, his numbers tend to build naturally over the course of the game.

If he plays at a similar level to what we saw recently, this line is well within reach.
