Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 11.5 Rebounds (-556)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers prepare to host the Pacers, all eyes should be on Thomas Bryant and his rebounding numbers. While he's a capable big man, his recent performances suggest that hitting over 11.5 boards might be a tall order. Averaging just 5 rebounds in his last five outings and even lower at home with 4.4, it's clear that Bryant isn't consistently crashing the boards as one might expect. In fact, against the Pacers, he's averaged a mere 3 rebounds, and at home, that number dips to just 2.3. With a flawless hit rate in his last 20 games, you might think he's untouchable, but the reality is his scoring opportunities have shifted, leaving less room for rebounding. Given these trends, betting the Under on Bryant's rebounds seems like a savvy play.

Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-345)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers face off against the Pacers, targeting Thomas Bryant for under 27.5 points and rebounds feels like a savvy move. Let's unpack it: Bryant has been trending downwards lately, averaging just 6.8 points and 5 boards over his last five games. At home, those numbers dip slightly to 8.4 points and 4.4 rebounds, far from the lofty total we're betting against. When squaring off against the Pacers, he's only mustered 4.2 points and 3 rebounds, and even worse at home-just 1.3 points and 2.3 boards. The numbers paint a clear picture: over the last 20 games, he hasn't surpassed this combined total even once. With an implied probability of nearly 77.5% on this under, it's hard to ignore the trend. Expect a quiet night from Bryant as the Cavaliers look to leverage their depth in this matchup.

Looking at Nae'Qwan Tomlin's rebounding numbers, it's clear we should lean toward the under 6.5 for this matchup against the Indiana Pacers. At home, he's been especially quiet on the boards, averaging just one rebound in his last five games at Cleveland. While he has managed to grab an average of three against the Pacers in previous encounters, those games were away from home, where the dynamics are different.The pressure of playing in front of a home crowd hasn't translated to increased production for Tomlin, as evidenced by his last 20 games hitting the under every single time. With only a 2.2 average across his last five outings, and the Cavaliers' tendency to control the glass, it's hard to envision him exceeding that 6.5 mark. The numbers suggest that expecting anything more from Tomlin in this game might just be wishful thinking.
