Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers take on the Mavericks in Dallas, keep an eye on LeBron James' rebounding numbers, particularly the under on 7.5 boards. While it's tempting to expect big things from the King, his recent performance tells a different story. In his last five games, LeBron has averaged just 7.2 rebounds, and when he's away, that drops to 9-a stat buoyed by some favorable matchups. Against the Mavericks, he's managed only 8 rebounds on average in their last couple of encounters. The Mavericks have a knack for limiting opposing bigs, and LeBron may find himself more focused on playmaking than crashing the boards this time around. With a hit rate of 12 for 15 on the road for under 7.5 rebounds, it seems prudent to lean into this trend. Expect a strategic performance from LeBron, keeping his rebounding stats in check as he orchestrates the offense.
