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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepare to face the Boston Celtics, all eyes will be on Cason Wallace's assist totals. While he's shown flashes of playmaking ability, recent trends suggest a conservative performance is more likely. Over his last five games at home, he's averaging just one assist, a sharp contrast to his 3.2 against the Celtics historically. Moreover, with an average of only 0.6 assists in his last five overall and a perfect 10-for-10 hit rate on the under in that span, it's clear that Wallace isn't being relied upon as a facilitator. The Celtics' defensive prowess further complicates matters, as they've consistently stifled opposing playmakers. Given these circumstances, the under 3.5 assists looks enticing. With an implied probability of 65.8%, it's a solid bet that aligns with Wallace's current role and the matchup dynamics.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When looking at Guerschon Yabusele's rebounding prowess, it's hard to overlook the momentum he's built over the last five games, averaging an impressive 7.8 boards. Facing the Bulls, who have struggled to contain strong rebounders lately, presents an ideal opportunity for Yabusele to assert himself on the glass. In his recent encounters against Chicago, he's consistently pulled down around five rebounds, which aligns well with his recent form. The Lakers will need his tenacity to combat the Bulls' physicality, making it likely that he'll exceed that 4.5 mark. With a hit rate of 4 out of his last 5 games and a solid average of 5.2 rebounds at home, the over feels like a savvy play. Yabusele's expected stat value of 6.54 only reinforces the belief that he'll rise to the occasion. Look for him to dominate the boards and help secure our bet!

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Detroit Pistons gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes should be on Marcus Sasser's rebounding performance. Targeting the under on his rebounds at 2.5 makes a lot of sense. Over his last five games, Sasser has averaged just 0.6 rebounds overall and a paltry 0.4 at home, where he's found it particularly tough to contribute on the boards. Even against the 76ers, he's only managed an average of 1 rebound per game, and at home, that number dips further to 0.8. With a perfect hit rate of 11 for his last 11 games on this exact line, the trend is undeniably against him. The Pistons might look to other sources for rebounding, especially with the 76ers' size in the paint. Expect Sasser to fall short once again, making the under a compelling play.
