This young star has been lighting up the scoreboard at home, averaging an impressive 33 points and 5.6 rebounds over his last five games in front of the home crowd.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When looking at Moussa Diabate's upcoming matchup against the Timberwolves, it's clear that taking the under on his rebounds at 9.5 is the smart play. On the road, he's averaged just 8 boards in his last five games, and against Minnesota, that number dips to about 5. The Timberwolves are not particularly generous on the glass, and with Diabate's recent performances showcasing a modest average of 6 rebounds against them, the trend is hard to ignore. In fact, over his last six away games, Diabate has only topped that 9.5 mark twice. With the Timberwolves boasting a solid frontcourt, Diabate's chances of grabbing a double-digit rebound count look slim. At an expected stat value of 8.08, it feels like a well-calibrated approach to lean on the under. This matchup sets up perfectly for a bet that capitalizes on recent trends and matchup specifics.
