As the Thunder's home crowd rallies behind him, Mitchell has displayed an impressive knack for stepping up in front of the home fans, averaging around 10.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in his last five home games.

When the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Phoenix Suns, eyes will be on Cason Wallace to surpass 8.5 combined points and rebounds. He's been quietly impressive at home, averaging 11.8 points and 3.2 rebounds over his last five games in front of the Thunder's faithful. What's even more compelling is his recent form against the Suns. In their last encounter at home, he managed 11 points and 4 rebounds, showcasing his ability to elevate his game against this opponent.

Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 8.5 Rebounds (+106)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Thunder gear up to host the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Chet Holmgren, but betting the under on his rebounds at 8.5 might just be the savvy move. While Holmgren has averaged 8.8 rebounds over his last five games, those numbers drop to a modest 7.6 when he's playing at home. Facing the Suns, who have a knack for keeping the paint contested, he only mustered 7 boards in their last matchup. With an expected stat value of 7.84, the under feels particularly enticing. Plus, Holmgren's recent home hit rate shows he's only exceeded this mark in 2 of his last 3 games at home. Considering that implied probability of 48.5%, the stage is set for a game where Holmgren might just fall short of that 8.5 threshold. Betting under could offer a smart edge in this matchup.
Jordan Goodwin (Phoenix Suns) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-139)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
In a clash between the Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder, targeting Jordan Goodwin for under 5.5 rebounds feels like a smart move. While Goodwin has shown flashes of potential, his recent away performances tell a different story. Averaging just 5 rebounds on the road, he's managed to hit this mark only about 75% of the time in his last 16 games away from home, with a troubling average of just 3.8 boards against the Thunder specifically.To add to that, his expected stat value sits at just 4.32, which aligns with the recent trend of his last five games, where he averaged 5.4, but those numbers can be misleading. Against a Thunder squad that has tightened up on the glass, Goodwin's chances of exceeding that 5.5 mark seem slim, making this under a solid play for savvy bettors looking to capitalize on the statistical landscape.
