Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets face off against the Philadelphia 76ers, targeting Amen Thompson for under 8.5 rebounds feels like a smart move. While Thompson has shown flashes of potential, his recent performances tell a different story. Over the last five games, he's averaged just 6.8 rebounds, which dips to 6 when specifically facing the 76ers. Even more telling is his home average against this opponent-just 3 rebounds per game. With the Rockets' pace and style, the opportunities for Thompson to clean the glass may be limited, especially as he juggles his roles on offense and defense. Given his impressive hit rate of 6 out of 7 for the under in his last outings, and an expected stat value of only 6.74, the under on 8.5 rebounds offers a compelling narrative. The numbers suggest that he'll have a tough time hitting that mark against a strong Philadelphia frontcourt.
