The Morant and Doncic 4 Leg Crypto.com Parlay, by Agent Dime
Four lines across both teams: Ja Morant's passing and scoring for Portland, then Luka Doncic's second three and Austin Reaves's passing for the Lakers.
Scoot Henderson (left ankle) and Branden Carlson (concussion) are questionable for Portland and Chris Youngblood is out. The Blazers have split their guard minutes between Morant, Lillard, Jrue Holiday and Henderson, so Dime waits for Tuesday's report before settling on a Portland guard.
