Entrée (1u) - Jalen Williams (OKC) OVER 24.5 PRA (-127 Barstool) (Moved to 25.5)
There is a lot to like out of Jalen Williams game and he's proven that with his recent play. The Thunder are facing the Clippers again tonight after they came back from being down in the 1Q to end up winning the game 101-100 on Tuesday night. The game is being played in Los Angeles again tonight but the biggest difference maker is that Paul George will be playing tonight after what looked like a hyper extended knee late in the game on Tuesday.
Jalen Williams recorded 31 points, rebounds, and assists vs the Clippers two days ago and there is no reason why he shouldn't amount to that number again. He scored 20 points on 8/15 from the floor with 2 threes made and 2 free throws made. He brought down 8 rebounds, which is his 5th straight game of recording 7 or more rebounds. He only recorded 3 assists in that matchup but is averaging 5 assists per game in his last 10 games. He's passed this 24.5 number in 8 of his last 10 games and passed the 25.5 number in 7 of his last 10 but averaging 32 PRA in those 10 games. With Paul George now being out, it leaves Kawhi as the only premier defender for the Clippers, which means he could see work on Jalen, SGA, or even Giddey.
The Clippers are allowing the most points to centers and even though he doesn't run the center position on paper, he's playing way more minutes than starting center Jaylin Williams. The Clippers are allowing 13th most points to power forwards so they're generally giving up points to opposing front courts. They're 12th in rebounds to centers and 10th in rebounds to power forwards and then 12th in assists to power forwards. Power forwards are scoring 1.23 more points than average when facing the Clippers and centers are scoring 2.57 more points. Both positions are averaging .65 more rebounds than their average as well!
My last thought is that I find it interesting that over Williams last 3 games, he is averaging more minutes per game than Josh Giddey and he's also been closing games more than Giddey. If that's the case tonight, we should expect to see Jalen Williams as the main closing rebounder and could potentially even see him drop more dimes with Giddey off the floor more.
Let me know what you think of the play!
