Reed Sheppard (Houston Rockets) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-185)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Reed Sheppard has been a revelation for the Houston Rockets, but when it comes to crashing the boards, he's more finesse than muscle. With a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers looming, we should expect him to fall short of the 3.5 rebounds mark. Why? Well, let's look at the numbers. Over his last 15 games, Sheppard hasn't just been inconsistent; he's hit the Under every single time. That's right-15 for 15. At home, he's been even more reliable, hitting the Under in all of his last 20 games at the Toyota Center. The Lakers are no slouches on the boards either, ranking among the league's top defenses, which means Sheppard will likely have his hands full. With an expected stat value of just 1.35, it's hard to see him breaking through. Betting on the Under feels like a smart play here.
