Donovan Clingan (Portland Trail Blazers) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-119)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Portland Trail Blazers gear up to face the Brooklyn Nets, all eyes will be on Donovan Clingan, but taking the under on his rebounds at 12.5 is the smart play here. While Clingan has been solid, averaging 13.2 boards in his last five outings, he's faced some inconsistency, particularly against this Nets squad. In their previous matchups, he's averaged just 10.7 rebounds against Brooklyn, and even at home, he's only managed 14 on average over their last meeting.Moreover, the pressure of the game could weigh on him-his home hit rate is strong at 4 of 6, but with the Nets' defensive schemes, there's a good chance he'll hover around the expected stat value of 11.06. With the odds favoring this under bet at -119, it's a calculated risk worth taking. Sometimes less is more, especially in an unpredictable game like this one.
