Bilal Coulibaly (Washington Wizards) Over 3.5 Rebounds (-161)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Bilal Coulibaly is poised for a strong rebounding performance against the Celtics, and here's why targeting the over on 3.5 makes sense. In his last 16 games, he's hit the over 11 times, showcasing a consistency that bodes well for this matchup. The Wizards are facing a Boston team that tends to be aggressive on the boards, but Coulibaly has shown he can rise to the occasion, averaging 6.2 rebounds against them in their past encounters, and an impressive 8 on the road. His average of 5.4 rebounds over the last five games reflects his growing role in the Wizards' rotation. Plus, with the Celtics' formidable frontcourt, opportunities will abound, particularly for a player like Coulibaly who thrives in high-pressure situations. Given these factors, betting on him to grab at least four boards feels like a savvy play.

Derrick White (Boston Celtics) Under 10.5 Rebounds + Assists (-147)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Celtics gear up to face the Wizards, all eyes are on Derrick White, but a deeper dive into the numbers suggests a solid case for the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 10.5. Over the last five games, White has averaged just 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, falling well short of this threshold. Even at home, where he typically performs better, his averages sit at 6.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists-still a little shy of our target.The Wizards have been generous defensively, but White's history against them shows he's only averaged 2.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists in their last few encounters. With a hit rate of just 6 out of his last 9 home games for this combined mark, the under appears to be the smart play as the Celtics look to maintain control in what could be a lopsided affair.
