As the Rockets prepare to host the Heat, all eyes will be on Alperen Sengun's rebounding prowess. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, the numbers suggest a decline in his effectiveness on the boards lately. Over his last five games, he's averaging a modest 6.6 rebounds, and in the friendly confines of Houston, that number ticks up to 7.6. However, against the Heat, who typically present a tougher challenge on the glass, Sengun has pulled down only 8 boards at home. What's particularly compelling is that his expected stat value sits at just 7.68, well below the 11.5 mark. With an impressive hit rate of 3/3 for the under in his last outings, the signs are clear. Betting on Sengun to stay under 11.5 rebounds feels like a savvy move as the Rockets look to outpace Miami, but Sengun might just find himself focusing more on scoring than cleaning the glass

As the Rockets travel to face the Heat, all eyes will be on Kel'el Ware's rebounding numbers. While he has shown promise with an average of 12 boards over his last five games against Miami, a deeper look reveals a different story when he's on the road. Averaging just 7.6 rebounds away from home, Ware has consistently struggled to hit that 12.5 mark, a number that seems inflated given his recent performances. In fact, he's hit the under in six consecutive away games, making this a solid target. With the Heat's defense tightening up, particularly in the paint, Ware's expected stat value of 9.36 suggests he may fall short again. Given his recent form and the challenging matchup, betting on Ware to stay under 12.5 rebounds feels like a smart play as the Rockets look to find their rhythm on the road.
