Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-114)

Dillon Brooks is poised for a standout performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder, making the over on his combined points and rebounds a compelling bet. While his recent averages of 16.6 points and 3.6 rebounds don't scream dominance, he's shown flashes of brilliance, especially against the Thunder. In their last five matchups, he's averaged nearly 19 points and 3.8 rebounds, and his ability to elevate his game in pivotal moments can't be overlooked. Notably, when playing away, Brooks has averaged around 12 points, but his history against Oklahoma City suggests he can push that higher, with an average of 17.2 points in their last few encounters. With a solid hit rate of hitting this mark 11 out of his last 19 games, and an expected stat value of 22.8, it feels like Brooks is primed to exceed the 19.5 threshold. Keep an eye on him to make a significant impact tonight!

Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 8.5 Rebounds (+106)

As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepare to host the Phoenix Suns, all eyes are on Chet Holmgren, particularly when it comes to his rebounding numbers. While he's been solid lately, averaging 8.8 rebounds over his last five games, the home court hasn't been as kind; he's pulling down just 7.6 boards at home. Against the Suns, Holmgren's history is even less encouraging, with an average of 7.3 rebounds in their previous matchups at home. With the Suns boasting a strong rebounding presence, Holmgren might find himself outmatched in the paint. Factor in that he's only managed to exceed the 8.5 mark in two of his last four games overall, and it paints a compelling picture for taking the under. It seems this matchup could see him falling just short of that threshold, making the under on 8.5 rebounds a savvy play.

Jordan Goodwin (Phoenix Suns) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-130)

In Sunday's showdown between the Phoenix Suns and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Jordan Goodwin's performance warrants a keen eye on the under for his rebounds prop set at 5.5. While Goodwin has been solid lately, averaging 5.4 boards over his last five games, his numbers take a dip when he's away from home. On the road, he's pulling down just 5 rebounds per game, and against the Thunder, his average drops even further to 3.8. Looking at his recent trend, Goodwin has hit the under in 12 of his last 16 away games, and against the Thunder's physical frontcourt, he may struggle to maintain his usual output. With an expected stat value of only 4.32 and a hit rate of 6 out of his last 8 games, it's a strategic play to back the under here. This matchup could see him falling short of that 5.5 mark.
