Bottom-five in 3 categories against SFs. UTAH allows the 2nd most points to SFs (26.5 PPG) — the points over is the primary angle. A 3-category mismatch opens up PRA and combo prop angles. Being at home doesn't hurt either. ## Pick 2: Ryan Rollins (PG) — UTAH @ MIL (Home) Top-5 DVP in 3 categories - **Points:** 1st in league (27.5 avg allowed) - **3-Pointers Made:** 1st in league (3.8 avg allowed) - **Blocks:** 3rd in league (0.8 avg allowed) Strong matchup for Ryan Rollins: UTAH ranks bottom-five in 3 categories against PGs. On points, UTAH is hemorrhaging — 1st in the league at 27.5 PPG allowed to PGs. 3 exploitable categories makes this a natural PRA combo play. Being at home doesn't hurt either. ## Pick 3: AJ Green (SG) — UTAH @ MIL (Home) Top-5 DVP in 4 categories - **3-Pointers Made:** 2nd in league (3.7 avg allowed) - **Points:** 3rd in league (23.1 avg allowed) - **Assists:** 3rd in league (5.6 avg allowed) - **Rebounds:** 4th in league (7.0 avg allowed) AJ Green draws a plus matchup against UTAH — one of the more exploitable defenses at SG with bottom-five numbers in 4 categories. 23.1 PPG allowed to SGs puts UTAH at 3rd in the league — clear points-over territory. Assists over is also in play: 5.6 APG allowed to SGs (3rd in league). When a defense is this porous across 4 stats, PRA combos are the move. Playing at home tonight is a bonus. ## Honorable Mentions - **Nickeil Alexander-Walker** (SG) — ATL vs PHI, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 2nd - **Trendon Watford** (SF) — PHI vs ATL, top-5 DVP in 4 categories, best rank: 1st - **Donte DiVincenzo** (PG) — MIN vs ORL, top-5 DVP in 1 category, best rank: 2nd - **Giannis Antetokounmpo** (PF) — MIL vs UTAH, top-5 DVP in 1 category, best rank: 1st - **Ace Bailey** (PF) — UTAH vs MIL, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 2nd Nickeil Alexander-Walker just missed the cut. The SG benefits from PHI's leaky defense in points, assists but didn't accumulate enough multi-category depth. ## Before You Lock Check the [Defense vs Position dashboard](/nba/defense-vs-position) for full 1-30 rankings at every position and stat.
