Aaron Gordon (Denver Nuggets) Over 4.5 Rebounds (-161)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Denver Nuggets roll into Los Angeles, Aaron Gordon is primed to dominate the boards. With an impressive average of 9.4 rebounds over his last five outings, he's been a force, especially away from home where he still pulls down a solid 8 rebounds per game. The Lakers present a unique challenge, but in their last matchup, Gordon grabbed nearly 8.4 boards on the road. Given his recent form-hitting the over in all seven of his last games-Gordon's tenacity in crashing the glass is hard to overlook. With the Nuggets relying on his athleticism against a Lakers frontcourt that can be vulnerable on the boards, banking on him to surpass 4.5 rebounds feels almost like a lock. The numbers support it, and with an expected stat value of 6.18, it just seems like the right time to back Aaron Gordon in this matchup.
