Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When looking at Donovan Clingan's rebounding, it's hard not to notice the trend as he heads into this matchup against the Denver Nuggets. While his recent outings have shown him snagging an impressive average of 12.8 boards against the Nuggets, those numbers can be misleading. Over his last five games, he's averaging just 10 rebounds overall and 10.6 on the road. Clingan's away performances have been solid, but there's something about this Denver matchup that suggests he'll struggle to reach the 11.5 mark.Plus, with Denver boasting a dynamic offensive lineup, they often limit second-chance opportunities, which could weigh on Clingan's numbers. Given that he's hit the under three straight times recently, the smart play is to take the under on 11.5. With an expected value of just 9.95 rebounds, this feels like a solid bet as he navigates a tough atmosphere in Denver.

When Deni Avdija steps onto the court against the Denver Nuggets in Denver, the odds might not be in his favor for rebounding. Despite averaging a respectable 8.4 boards on the road recently, his matchup against the Nuggets poses challenges. Over his last five games against them, he's managed just 5.4 rebounds per outing. The Nuggets' frontcourt is a formidable presence, making it tough for opponents to grab boards. Avdija's recent overall performance shows he's hit the under in 8 of his last 11 away games, and his expected stat value of just 5.87 suggests that he may struggle to find those extra rebounds in this tough environment. With a 48.1% implied probability on the under, it feels wise to bet that he'll come in below the 6.5 mark in this matchup. A savvy choice for those eyeing the rebound market!

Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 12.5 Rebounds (-101)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Nuggets gear up to face the Trail Blazers at home, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic's rebounding numbers. While he's been a rebounding machine lately, averaging 15.2 boards over his last five games, his matchup against Portland often tells a different story. Historically, Jokic has pulled down just 11.8 rebounds against the Blazers, slightly below our target of 12.5. What's more intriguing is his recent home performance-while he's averaged 14.6 rebounds in Denver, he's hit the under in 4 of his last 10 home games. Given that his expected stat value sits just below 12.5 at 11.85, it seems this is a prime spot for the under. With a hit rate of 60% in recent games against Portland at home, it's reasonable to think Jokic may just fall short of that mark this time around.
