Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons) Under 11.5 Rebounds (+107)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When looking at Jalen Duren's rebounding stats heading into this matchup against the Orlando Magic, it's hard to ignore the trend pointing toward an under on his 11.5 rebounds. Over his last five games, he's averaging 9.6 boards overall and 11.2 at home, but the key is his consistency against the Magic; he's only pulling down about 10.4 rebounds on average in their recent encounters.With Duren's recent run of four consecutive games hitting the over, it feels like a perfect storm for a regression. He's played well, but the Magic's frontcourt can be tricky, and Duren may not get the same opportunities tonight. Given the numbers suggest he's expected to grab around 10.43 boards, leaning toward the under on 11.5 feels like a solid play. The odds favor this outcome, and the matchup dynamics further support it.

Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons) Under 6.5 Rebounds (-154)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Cade Cunningham has been a steady contributor for the Pistons, but when it comes to crashing the boards, he might just fall short against the Magic. With an average of just 4 rebounds over his last five games, it's clear he's not in prime rebounding form. Sure, he's hit 6.4 at home, but the trend has been moving downward, especially as he faces a Magic squad that has posed challenges in the paint.Moreover, Cunningham's recent performance against Orlando shows he averages only 7.6 rebounds-even at home, that number dips slightly to 7.8. Given that he's hit the under in 10 of his last 12 games, and considering the stakes, I'm leaning towards him coming in under 6.5 rebounds. This is not just a hunch; it's a calculated play based on how he's been trending. Look for Cunningham to focus more on facilitating the offense rather than cleaning the glass.
