Amen Thompson Points Prop is currently Over/Under 14.5 (-105/-125) at Caesars sportsbook.
Pros
- Amen Thompson has converted 75.1% of his field goal attempts over the last 5 games on the road, 21.6% more than he’s made in all games this season without the home court advantage.
- Amen Thompson has been on the court for 31.0 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 9.9 higher than he’s been on the court for in all games this season.
- The matchup against Utah is a strong one for shot attempts from downtown; when the Jazz have the home court advantage, the other team’s starting SGs have tallied the 2nd-most three attempts per game in the league this year (7.3).
- The Rockets have played at the 4th-fastest pace in the league over the last 15 games when playing on the road.
- The Jazz have played at the 6th-quickest pace in the league over the last 5 games, which should lead to increased plays for the Houston Rockets.
Cons
- Among all players in the NBA, Amen Thompson places in the 18th percentile for 3-point performance when playing on the road with a feeble 21.3% rate this year.
- As it relates to 3-pointers, the Rockets’s unimpressive 33.1% rate of drained threes as the away team ranks weakest in the NBA this year.
- Amen Thompson will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home city tends to reduce player performance for all stats.
