Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-141)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets head to Denver, all eyes will be on Amen Thompson. While he's shown flashes of potential, his recent numbers suggest a tough matchup against the Nuggets. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, which puts him well below the 12.5 threshold we're targeting for the under. When playing away, Thompson's production drops slightly, averaging 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Even more telling is his performance against Denver; in their last five meetings, he's averaged a mere 9 rebounds and zero assists. With a hit rate of 6 for his last 6 games, it's clear he's been underwhelming lately, especially on the road. Given the Nuggets' strong defensive presence, I'm confident Thompson will struggle to exceed that 12.5 mark tonight. Let's ride the under on this one.

The 'Denver Nuggets Under 126.5' bet in the Team Total Points (Alternate) market makes sense when you delve into the stats of their matchup against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets, as solid as they are, have been averaging less than our threshold point of 126.5 in recent games. Moreover, the Rockets have been putting up a good defense recently, holding their opponents to lower scores.

So, the statistics support that the Nuggets might struggle to hit that high total, making this bet a reasonable choice.
