Cason Wallace (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 3.5 Assists (-192)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Cason Wallace, but not for the reasons you might think. Given his impressive recent form, you might expect him to be a playmaker. However, a deeper dive into his numbers reveals a different story. Over the last five games, Wallace has averaged just 1 assist at home and 0.6 overall, painting a picture of a player who's struggling to find his rhythm in distributing the ball. Against Boston, he's averaged 2.5 assists at home, but that's still well below the 3.5 mark we're targeting. Plus, the Thunder's offense tends to operate through other avenues, often bypassing Wallace entirely. With a consistent hit rate of 10/10 on the Under in his last ten games, it's clear that betting on Wallace to finish below 3.5 assists is a savvy move in this matchup.

Guerschon Yabusele (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 4.5 Rebounds (-167)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers gear up to face the Bulls, all eyes should be on Guerschon Yabusele to snag over 4.5 rebounds. With an impressive average of 7.8 rebounds in his last five games, he's been a consistent force on the boards, showcasing his ability to dominate the paint. In home games, he's pulling down 5.2 rebounds-a solid number that speaks to his comfort level at the Staples Center.Considering Yabusele's recent track record against Chicago, where he averaged 5 rebounds over their last few matchups, it's clear he knows how to find the ball against this opponent. With a hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last appearances, and a model that suggests he could easily hit around 6.54 rebounds, betting on the over seems like a savvy play. Expect him to rise to the occasion and exceed that 4.5 mark on Friday night.

Marcus Sasser (Detroit Pistons) Under 2.5 Rebounds (-189)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Marcus Sasser has been a bright spot for the Pistons, but when it comes to crashing the boards, he's more of a spectator lately. As the team faces off against the Philadelphia 76ers, it's worth noting that Sasser's rebounding numbers tell a compelling story. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 0.6 rebounds overall and a mere 0.4 at home, which is quite telling given the expectations of a guard in his position. Against the 76ers, he's managed only around 1 rebound per game historically, and at home, that drops to 0.8. With Sasser hitting the under on his rebounding prop in every one of his last 11 outings, including a perfect 7-for-7 at home, it seems prudent to bet on him staying under 2.5 rebounds once again. The data is solid, and the matchup isn't favorable-making this prop a smart play.
