John Collins (LA Clippers) Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Clippers gear up to face the Mavericks, John Collins is poised to make a significant impact, especially when we look at his recent performances. Averaging nearly 17 points and 5 rebounds in his last five outings, Collins has been on fire, hitting over 17.5 points and rebounds in each of his last four games. What stands out is his efficiency against the Mavericks, where he's averaged 16.2 points and 5.6 rebounds recently. The Clippers will need his scoring, especially at home, where he's been averaging just over 10 points. Given Dallas's tendency to allow 20.2 points and 7.6 rebounds to opponents on the road, Collins should find plenty of opportunities to exceed that 17.5 mark. With a solid hit rate of 15 out of his last 18 home games, this prop feels like a great play. Expect Collins to rise to the occasion and deliver for his team.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 7.5 Rebounds (-139)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming showdown between the Clippers and Mavericks, targeting Cooper Flagg for under 7.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. Despite his impressive skill set, Flagg has averaged just 6.2 rebounds over his last five games, and when you narrow it down to away games, that number slightly bumps to 6.8. Now, against the Mavericks, he's managed around 8 boards on the road, but the overall trend suggests that the pressure of playing away may hinder his rebounding efforts, especially with the likes of Dallas's frontline. Their defensive schemes can disrupt his rhythm, and let's not overlook that Flagg has hit the under in four of his last six away games. With an expected stat value of only 6.33 and a solid hit rate of 9 out of his last 13 games, it's hard to ignore the potential for him to stay below that 7.5 threshold.
