Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 8.5 Rebounds (-139)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets gear up to face the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Amen Thompson, but a savvy wager might just be on the under for his rebounds at 8.5. While Thompson has shown promise, averaging 6.8 boards overall in his last five, his home numbers paint a different picture. He's been snagging an impressive 9 rebounds on his own turf, yet when facing the 76ers, he's managed just 3 rebounds at home recently. With the 76ers bringing a formidable frontcourt, it's likely that Thompson will be occupied elsewhere, limiting his opportunities on the glass. His recent trend shows he's hit the under in 6 of his last 7 games, and the expected stat value of 6.68 further supports this. Given the matchup and his overall hit rate, betting under 8.5 rebounds for Thompson feels like a strong play in this contest.

Quentin Grimes (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 11.5 Points + Rebounds (-106)

Averaging 12.2 points and 3.4 rebounds away from home, Grimes has consistently stepped up in crucial moments, and his numbers against this specific opponent are particularly telling. Over the last five games against the Sixers, he's putting up a robust 27.3 points per game. What's more, Grimes boasts a remarkable 14-for-17 success rate in hitting this over, with an even more impressive 8-for-10 on the road.
