While his recent outings have shown him snagging an impressive average of 12.8 boards against the Nuggets, those numbers can be misleading. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 10 rebounds overall and 10.6 on the road.

With an expected value of just 9.95 rebounds, this feels like a solid bet as he navigates a tough atmosphere in Denver.
