Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-135)

When the Houston Rockets face off against the Los Angeles Lakers, Amen Thompson's prop bet of Under 12.5 rebounds + assists looks enticing. Despite his promising recent form, where he's averaged 7.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists over the last five games, those numbers shift slightly when he plays at home. At Toyota Center, he's been consistent but not explosive, averaging 6.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists.While he's shown flashes of brilliance against the Lakers, averaging 11.5 rebounds in their last five encounters, it's crucial to note that his overall production has been trending lower. With the Lakers' length in the paint and defensive schemes, Thompson might find it tough to replicate those lofty numbers. Given his expected stat value of 10.77 and a solid hit rate of 6/6 overall, targeting the under feels like a savvy move in this matchup.
