Five DARIMARKET plays cashed on this game.

What cashed

ALT: Toumani Camara 12+ points (-160 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Camara had scored 12 or more in all four games this season (13, 12, 19, 18), averaging 15.5 points with about four threes a night.
• What happened: Camara scored 14 points in 31 minutes, clearing the 11.5 line by 2.5. Every field goal he made was a three, and he added 2 free throws.
• Worth watching: His points come mostly from the perimeter, so the floor depends on his three-point volume. Nine attempts in 31 minutes is the kind of usage that keeps this line in range.

ALT: Toumani Camara 2+ made threes (-230 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Camara had made 2 or more threes in 8 of his last 10 games and 17 of his last 20. The best price implied about 70 percent against roughly 78 percent from recent games.
• What happened: He made 4 of 9 from three, clearing the 1.5 line by 2.5.
• Worth watching: Pairing his threes with his points made sense here because his scoring runs through the arc. The attempt count is the number to check before backing either again.

ALT: Ace Bailey 5+ rebounds (-237 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Bailey had grabbed 5 or more rebounds in all five games (6, 10, 12, 7, 5), averaging 8.0 in 30 minutes.
• What happened: Bailey pulled down 7 rebounds, all on the defensive end, in 37 minutes. That cleared the 4.5 line by 2.5.
• Worth watching: His minutes climbed above his 30-minute average even in a lopsided loss. With that workload, a low alt rebound line holds up.

Donovan Clingan under 11.5 rebounds (-116 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Clingan had stayed under 11.5 rebounds in each of his last 10 games and all 4 this season, playing about 24 minutes a night.
• What happened: Clingan finished with 9 rebounds in 15 minutes, 2.5 under the line. He also picked up 5 fouls in that short stint.
• Worth watching: He rebounded at a strong rate when he was on the floor, so this under leans on minutes. His playing time is the key input on any Clingan rebound line.

ALT: Jrue Holiday 4+ rebounds (-202 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Holiday had grabbed 4 or more rebounds in 9 of his last 10 games and 17 of his last 20. The best price implied about 67 percent against roughly 83 percent from recent games.
• What happened: Holiday had exactly 4 rebounds in 22 minutes, clearing the 3.5 line by 0.5. He also scored 14 points on 4 of 6 shooting.
• Worth watching: This one got there with no room to spare in limited minutes. In blowouts, bench time can cap counting stats, so the expected game script matters for his rebound line.

How the game played out

Portland held Utah to 42 first-half points and never let the Jazz back in. Utah forced 19 Portland turnovers with 12 steals, but the Blazers outscored them at the line by 13 points and won the rebounding battle 48-37.

Trends to watch

• Camara took 9 threes in 31 minutes. His volume from deep drives both his points and threes lines.
• Bailey played 37 minutes and grabbed 7 defensive rebounds. His role supports rebound props.
• Clingan played just 15 minutes with 5 fouls. Foul trouble is a real factor for his overs and unders.
