Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to face the Thunder, all eyes will be on Neemias Queta, but betting the under on his rebounds at 9.5 feels like the smart play. Queta has been solid at home, hitting the boards well, but recent trends hint at a dip. Over his last three home games, he's only surpassed that 9.5 mark twice, and his expected stat value pegs him closer to 7.23 rebounds.With the Thunder's fast-paced style, you might expect Queta to be active, but their defense is adept at limiting second-chance opportunities, which makes those board battles tougher. Plus, the Celtics have been known to distribute rebounding duties across the roster, often leaving Queta without the bulk of the action. Given these factors, betting the under on Queta's rebounds could prove to be a shrewd move in a matchup that may not favor his rebounding prowess.
