Drew Eubanks Over 11.5 PTS (-120) ($120 to win $100)
*Odds Available at FanDuel at Time of Publishing*
Drew Eubanks has been solid. This guy will never get confused as a star but he plays his role and he plays it well. Eubanks has hit this prop in 6 of his last 9 games and has scored 16+ in 3 of his last 4. He hasn’t been afraid to get his shots up and that should continue as the baby Blazers don’t have a specific player they need to run the offense through. We just need 6 buckets here, he doesn’t need to have a career day.
I love this matchup. Indiana is usually a team you’d never want to play an over on the opposing center since Turner will swat everything into the 5th row. Luckily for us, he is still out and both Goga Bitadze and Jalen Smith are questionable. If they’re all somehow out then I don't know who can match Eubanks length. If one of them goes which is the more likely option then I still love our odds. Pacers have been getting annihilated by bigs as of late allowing Wood, Adams, Londale, Porzingis, and Mobley all smash their overs.

I’ve gotten to watch Eubanks a few times this month and he has a nice hook. I just don’t know how Indiana will defend him with what they have. I think this is worth putting out now because it should hit regardless of who’s manning the paint for Indiana. I’m less intimidated by Goga than Jalen though so if only one is a go I would prefer it to be him but it shouldn’t matter. I wouldn’t play this at 12.5 if we see the line move. For a guy who doesn't shoot threes that extra point could be the difference between cashing or not. As Billups continues to play Eubanks he’s seemingly more and more confident and tonight should be another great building block for him. All over Drew tonight.
