Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Cameron Payne might not be the first player that jumps to mind when you think rebounds, especially in a matchup against the Denver Nuggets, who have been dominant on the glass. With an average of just 0.6 rebounds over his last five games, Payne has struggled to make his mark as a rebounder, and the numbers show he's particularly challenged in this matchup against the 76ers. In fact, he's only managed to pull down an average of 2.6 rebounds against them recently, while the Nuggets' formidable frontcourt often prevents guards from crashing the boards effectively. With a 17-game streak of hitting the under on this prop, it's hard to ignore the trends. Plus, with an implied probability of 64.1%, the smart money is on Payne staying under 2.5 rebounds. Given his current form and the matchup dynamics, this is a bet worth considering.
