T.J. McConnell's playmaking has been trending upward, averaging 6.8 assists over his last 5 games on increased minutes (20.6 MPG). He faces a Trail Blazers defense that ranks 28th in defensive rating (117.35), which should create ample opportunities for his distribution. While his scoring is steady (9.0 PPG last 5), his assist volume and recent double-digit assist performances make him a strong candidate to exceed his season averages in a favorable home matchup.
Faces Scoot Henderson (7.4 matchup minutes, allows 10 pts on 50% FG) in primary matchup. Trail Blazers have league-worst 117.35 defensive rating, creating favorable conditions for McConnell's playmaking.
