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.
