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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Thunder gear up to face the Celtics at home, all eyes should be on Cason Wallace, but not for the reasons you might think. While he's shown flashes of playmaking ability, his recent assist numbers tell a different story. Over the last five games, he's averaged just one assist at home, and in his matchups against Boston, he's only managed 2.5 assists per game. With the Celtics boasting a solid defense that often stifles young playmakers, it's hard to see Wallace surpassing the 3.5 assists mark. The trend is there-he hasn't hit this number in any of his last ten games, and at home, he's hit the under every time in the last five. Given these factors, the smart play here is to back the Under on Wallace's assists. The stats are leaning heavily in our favor, setting up a promising opportunity.

Isaiah Joe (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-172)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Isaiah Joe, but savvy bettors might want to consider the under on his rebounds at 3.5. Despite playing at home, Joe's recent form reveals a troubling trend; he's averaging just 0.6 rebounds over his last five games. Even when we narrow it down to his home performances, he's only mustered an average of 2.2 boards per game. Against this Celtics squad, whose defensive prowess can stifle even the most prolific rebounders, Joe's historical numbers aren't encouraging either-he averages just 2.8 rebounds against them and 3 at home. With a flawless hit rate in his last nine games and a strong 4-for-4 mark at home on the under, it feels like a no-brainer to bank on Joe staying below that 3.5 threshold. The odds are in our favor, and this trend is hard to ignore.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Pistons gear up to host the 76ers, all eyes should be on Marcus Sasser's rebounding numbers, particularly if you're considering the under on his total of 2.5 boards. Over the last five games, Sasser has averaged a mere 0.6 rebounds, with only 0.4 coming in front of the home crowd. The numbers against the 76ers don't paint a brighter picture either; he's managed just 1 board on average in their previous encounters, dropping to 0.8 at home. With a perfect hit rate of 11-for-11 recently, it's clear that the odds favor the under, especially given his current form alongside the Pistons' overall dynamics. As a guard, Sasser's focus is more on scoring and playmaking, making it tough for him to crash the boards amidst bigger bodies. Betting the under on Sasser's rebounding seems not just wise, but almost inevitable in this matchup.
