As the Spurs prepare to take on the 76ers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but betting on him to snag over 16.5 rebounds might not be the play today. While he's been a rebounding machine with an average of 16.4 over his last five games, the reality is that at home, he's pulled down just 11.8 boards-well below the number we're targeting. Against Philadelphia, his average dips to around 10.5, and historically, Wembanyama has shown a stark contrast between home and away performance. In fact, his home games have seen him hit the under in 20 straight opportunities. With the 76ers likely bringing their size and physicality, expect Wembanyama to focus more on scoring and less on crashing the boards. The numbers align to suggest that the under is not just a possibility-it's a strong probability.
Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 47.5 Points + Rebounds (-303)

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers at home, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama. While the hype surrounding his talent is immense, we're eyeing the Under on his combined points and rebounds at 47.5. In recent outings, Wembanyama has averaged 31.6 points and 16.4 rebounds over his last five games, bringing a solid total of about 48 points and boards. However, he's been notably more efficient at home, with averages of 33 points and 11.8 rebounds. Against the 76ers, his numbers drop slightly, averaging 25.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in their last matchups. Given his home hit rate of 16 out of 20 and the expectations from this matchup, the Under feels like a prudent play. With the Spurs' offensive dynamics at play, Wembanyama might just fall short of that lofty mark as the game unfolds

As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to face the New York Knicks, all eyes will be on Jalen Johnson, but not for the reasons you might think. While he's been a solid contributor, averaging about 9.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists over the last five games, his stats at home tell a different story when you dig deeper. In fact, against the Knicks, Johnson's home averages dip to a modest 7.8 rebounds and just 4.4 assists. That puts him firmly under the 20.5 mark we're targeting. Moreover, he's hit the Under in 7 of his last 8 games and has only surpassed this combined total in 2 of his last 10 home games. With the Knicks' defense tightening up, expect Johnson to struggle to reach that lofty total, making the Under a sharp play in this matchup.
Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 23.5 Points (-270)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
In the matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the San Antonio Spurs, all eyes should be on Joel Embiid, especially when considering the points prop set at 23.5. Embiid has been a scoring machine lately, averaging an impressive 27 points over his last five games and an even more eye-popping 30 points when hitting the road. He's particularly effective against the Spurs, with an average of 38 points in their last five meetings, including a staggering 35 points per game in San Antonio. What's more, Embiid has been on fire, hitting the over in 15 of his last 16 games, and he's a perfect 7 for 7 in away contests. With an expected stat value of 32.09, it's clear that we're not just betting on Embiid; we're betting on his undeniable ability to dominate on the court. Expect him to not just meet but surpass that 23.5 mark with ease.

As the Lakers gear up to host the Thunder, targeting LeBron James for under 9.5 assists feels like a savvy move. While the King is always a playmaker, recent trends suggest he might be more focused on scoring against Oklahoma City. Over his last five games, he's averaged 8.6 assists, but at home, that number dips to 7.6. Notably, when facing the Thunder at home, he's only dished out 6.6 assists on average in their last five encounters. With the Lakers likely to leverage their scoring prowess, LeBron may find himself seeking more of his own shot, especially with his overall hit rate of 16 out of 20 games hitting under this mark. Given the context of the matchup and his recent form, the under on 9.5 assists feels like the right call tonight.
