As the 76ers head into Boston, all eyes will be on Andre Drummond. Despite his reputation as a rebounding machine, the numbers suggest he might struggle to hit the 14.5 mark in this matchup. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.2 boards overall, but when playing on the road, that number dips to just 9. Moreover, against the Celtics specifically, Drummond's recent outings yield an average of only 7.6 rebounds. This isn't just a fluke; in his last 20 away games, he's gone under this line an impressive 18 times. With the Celtics' robust defensive scheme, Drummond might find himself boxed out more often than not. Given these trends, the under on 14.5 rebounds feels like a solid play, especially with such strong implied odds suggesting an 88.5% chance of hitting.

As Cade Cunningham takes the court against the Orlando Magic, expectations might be high, but consider this: he's been a bit of a mixed bag lately. While he's shown glimpses of brilliance, averaging 18.4 points and 11.6 assists at home over his last five, his overall numbers tell a different story. In fact, his average of 14.6 points and 8 assists recently suggest a dip in form.Facing the Magic, who've done well to limit opposing guards, Cunningham's numbers have been even lower, with just 26.4 points and 8.2 assists at home against them lately. The implications of his recent performance and the Magic's defensive prowess raise red flags about hitting that lofty 41.5 mark. With a solid hit rate showing he's gone under in his last four games, it's wise to lean toward the under here.

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes are on Victor Wembanyama, but there's a compelling case to back him for under 15.5 rebounds. While Wembanyama has showcased his rebounding prowess, averaging around 14 boards in his last five outings, his home performances tell a different story. He's recorded only 10.8 rebounds on his home court lately, and against the Blazers, he's averaged just 9 in their last few matchups.Additionally, in his last nine home games, he's hit the under on this line a staggering 8 out of 9 times. With an implied probability of 87% backing this bet, it's clear that while Wembanyama is a force, the factors align for a quieter rebounding night against a Portland team that has been surprisingly resilient on the boards. This makes the under a savvy play for Monday's matchup.
Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 30.5 Points (-312)

When it comes to Cade Cunningham, the narrative this season has taken an intriguing turn, especially as he prepares to face the Orlando Magic at home. While the anticipation for his scoring prowess is always high, recent trends suggest a more cautious approach. Over his last five games, he's averaged only 14.6 points, and even at home, where he's boosted that slightly to 18.4, he's still well shy of the 30.5 mark.What's even more telling is his performance against the Magic; while he has averaged 30.4 points in recent outings against them, his home average against this same opponent dips to 26.4. With a remarkable hit rate of 16 for 16 in home games this season to go under 30.5 points, it appears that the safer bet lies in expecting Cunningham to fall short of the lofty expectations this time around.
Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 14.5 Rebounds (-500)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Pistons gear up to host the Magic, all eyes should be on Jalen Duren's rebounding performance. While he's shown flashes of greatness, his recent stats tell a different story. Averaging just 9.6 rebounds over the last five games, Duren's recent form is a clear indicator that the 14.5 mark is simply too high. Even at home, where he averages 11.2 rebounds, he's consistently fallen short against the Magic, managing only 10.4 boards in their last five encounters.Let's not overlook the big picture: Duren has hit the under in every game over the last 20 outings, and at home, he hasn't surpassed 10 rebounds in his last ten tries. With an expected stat value around 10.43, it feels safe to lean into the under here. The numbers align, and the narrative suggests that Duren will likely struggle to meet that lofty rebound expectation.
Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 46.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-263)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Cade Cunningham has been a bright spot for the Pistons, but as they face the Orlando Magic, it might be wise to lean toward the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists total of 46.5. Despite his impressive averages at home-18.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 11.6 assists-recent trends suggest he's hit a ceiling against Orlando. In their last five matchups, he's averaged just 26.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists when hosting them, falling short of this total. Moreover, Cunningham's overall production has dipped recently, with averages of just 14.6 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists in his last five games. The Pistons are likely to focus on a balanced attack, especially with the Magic's defensive scheme designed to limit his impact. Given these factors, backing the under seems not only prudent but almost a foregone conclusion.
Jerami Grant (Portland Trail Blazers) Over 8.5 Points (-233)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Jerami Grant is primed for a big night as the Trail Blazers face off against the Spurs. With an impressive average of 17.4 points over his last five games, Grant has been on fire, especially away from home where he's been contributing 16.4 points on average. This matchup isn't just about his recent form; Grant has been especially effective against the Spurs, averaging 15 points in their last encounters, and he's hit the Over on 8.5 points in 12 of his last 14 road games. The Spurs have struggled defensively, and with Grant's current scoring momentum, it's hard to see him staying under this number. When you consider he's hit the Over in all four of his last games, the trend is undeniable. Expect Grant to showcase his scoring ability and comfortably surpass that 8.5 mark tonight.
