What cashed

Michael Porter Jr. 18+ points (-305 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Porter hit 18+ points in 4 of his last 5 and 9 of his last 10. Charlotte was without Kon Knueppel, Coby White and Grant Williams, and we had Porter as Brooklyn's first option. - What happened: Porter scored 26 on 10 of 21 shooting, including 5 of 11 from three, with 7 rebounds and 3 steals in 34 minutes. That is 8.5 over the 17.5 line. - Worth watching: Twenty-one shots and 11 threes is a heavy load. As long as he gets that volume, this points line has room, even with Randle scoring 33 alongside him.

ALT: Over 211.5 total points (-198 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: The main total was 219.5, so this alt sat eight points under it. Both teams went over 211.5 in 16 of their last 20 combined games. - What happened: The game finished with 213 points, 1.5 over the line. It was close: the teams had 167 through three quarters, so the over needed 45 in the fourth, and they scored 46. - Worth watching: The extra eight points were the difference here. With 42 combined turnovers and Charlotte shooting 31 percent from three, both offenses left points on the floor, which is the risk on any over.

Trends to watch

• Porter and Randle combined for 59 points and 39 shots. Brooklyn's scoring runs through those two, which supports points props for both.
• Reid had 20 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in 33 minutes. His PRA line is worth a look while he holds that role.
• Charlotte took 48 threes and made 15. That volume can swing totals either way, so alt lines with room fit these games better than the main number.
