This guy usually respects our cash when we bet on him.

Big Vooch is an easy guy to root for. The guy usually does his job when we bet on him and tonight he has a great matchup. Vooch has already faced Utah this year but only scored 16 points which would be one bucket short, what I like here is the volume he got with 17 shots. I find it unlikely that Utah will limit him again when they allow the most points to centers in the NBA.

Vooch has 18+ points in four of his last five games and this is the best possible matchup for him that there could be. Vooch shoots over 50% from the field and shot 8-17 last time out vs Utah. If he can see that same volume but goes 9-17, that’s cash for us. This game projects to be high scoring and close, so assuming he can stay out of foul trouble we should see him put up big numbers.

I’ll finish this off by showing you all how bad Utah has been against Centers recently.

1/5: Sengun 20 PTS (averages 14.5)
1/3: Sabonis 21 PTS (averages 18.7)
12/31: Adebayo 32 PTS (averages 21.8)
12/30: Sabonis 28 PTS (averages 18.7)
12/26: Poeltl 16 PTS (averages 11.9)
12/22: Gafford 13 PTS (averages 7.6)
12/20: Duren 15 PTS (averages 7.7)
12/19: Allen 20 PTS (averages 13.9)
12/17: Lopez 18 PTS (averages 14.5)
