Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-455)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When you look at Amen Thompson's recent performances, it's hard to ignore the trend leaning towards the under on rebounds, especially at home. While he's been solid with an average of 9 boards in his last three home games, the matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers could pose some challenges. Historically, Thompson has averaged only 3 rebounds against this opponent when playing at home. With an expected stat value of just 6.69 and an impressive 8 out of 9 hit rate recently, it seems the 10.5 mark might be a touch high. The Sixers tend to dominate the glass, which could limit Thompson's opportunities. Plus, considering he's been averaging around 6.8 rebounds over his last five games, we're banking on him not reaching double digits this time around. So, taking the under on 10.5 rebounds feels like a smart play here.

As the Houston Rockets gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes are on Alperen Sengun. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, his rebounding numbers suggest a different narrative today. Over his last five games, Sengun has averaged just 7.6 rebounds, and when playing at home, that number ticks up slightly to 7.8. Against the 76ers, he's managed an average of 8.7 rebounds at home, but the trend leans heavily towards the under, with the expected stat value sitting at 7.73. With the Rockets' recent home games yielding Sengun's rebounding prowess hitting the under three times in a row, it's hard to ignore the signs. Philadelphia presents a formidable frontcourt, making it even more challenging for Sengun to eclipse the 11.5 mark. Betting the under feels like a savvy move here, especially with an implied probability of 81.3% in favor of this outcome
