Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When it comes to Tari Eason, he's been quietly making a name for himself as a reliable contributor for the Rockets, especially in away games. With an impressive hit rate of 15 out of 17 in his last outings, it's clear that he thrives under pressure. In his recent performances, Eason has averaged 7.2 points and 6.2 rebounds, but there's more to the story when he faces the Timberwolves. Historically, he's managed to notch around 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game against Minnesota when on the road. Those numbers suggest he has a knack for stepping up against this particular squad.Considering Eason's upward trajectory and the implied probability of 65.4% for him to surpass 9.5 combined points and rebounds, it feels like a solid bet. He's on a roll, and with the Timberwolves defense in his sights, expect him to exceed expectations once again.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets gear up to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Alperen Sengun, but taking the under on his rebounds at 9.5 seems wise. While Sengun has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging just 8 boards in his last five outings, his away performance tells a more revealing story-he's only pulling down 8 rebounds on the road as of late. Considering his recent history against the Timberwolves, where he boasts a respectable average of 10.6 rebounds away, it's worth noting that he's hit the under in 15 of his last 20 games. The Timberwolves are a formidable opponent, and Sengun's numbers suggest that he might struggle to find his rhythm in this matchup. With an expected stat value of 8.11, it feels like a solid play to lean into the under on this one. Buckle up; this could be a close call!
