Jaime Jaquez Jr. has established himself as an important scoring option for Milwaukee this season, averaging 16.4 points per game across nine appearances. That puts the 13,5 line below his current scoring average and gives us a reasonable margin.
His recent form is encouraging. Jaquez has scored 14, 18 and 19 points in his last three games, and he has gone over this line in four of his last five outings. He also played 31 minutes and scored 18 points against the Celtics in their previous meeting on November 4.
With a regular role and a consistent workload around 28–31 minutes, Jaquez should have enough opportunities to reach the required 14 points. His ability to score both inside and from the perimeter gives him more than one route to getting there.
