As the Timberwolves prepare to take on the Hornets, eyes turn to Rudy Gobert's rebounding prop, set at 11.5. Despite his towering presence, the numbers suggest a decline in output. Over the last five games, Gobert has averaged 11.8 rebounds, but at home, that number jumps to 14.4-making it tempting to back the over. However, against the Hornets, he's averaged just 11.2 boards, and at home, that dips to 12.4. Given that he's hit the under in one of his last three games, it's clear that he's not as dominant as expected. Charlotte's pace and style can disrupt his usual dominance on the glass, potentially leading to a performance below his average. With an expected stat value of just 10.26, taking the under feels like the smart play here. Let's see if Gobert can defy the odds, but caution seems wise for this matchup
Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Timberwolves gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Anthony Edwards. Playing at home, Edwards has been a force lately, averaging an impressive 33 points and nearly 5.6 rebounds in his last five games at the Target Center. Against the Hornets, he's historically found his rhythm too, scoring around 22.6 points in their recent matchups, while boosting that to 17.4 at home. With his overall scoring average climbing to 24.4 points and his rebounding numbers hovering around 4, he's clearly stepping up when the stakes are high. Having hit the Over on this combined points and rebounds line in 4 of his last 5 home games, it feels like a safe bet that he'll surpass the 28.5 mark this time. Given the current form and the home court advantage, this prop bet on Edwards feels like a golden opportunity.
Brandon Miller (Charlotte Hornets) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-112)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
When the Charlotte Hornets hit the road to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Brandon Miller, but let's dial down the expectations for his rebounding. Averaging just 5 boards over his last five games, Miller's numbers dip even lower in away matchups, where he's pulling in only 5.6 rebounds per game, and against the Timberwolves specifically, he's been limited to just 2.5. With the Timberwolves boasting a solid frontcourt, they've proven tough against opponents' rebounding efforts, making it challenging for Miller to hit that 5.5 mark. His recent form shows mixed results, with only two of his last three games yielding over 5 rebounds. Given that the implied probability is still under 53%, betting on the under feels like a smart play. With the data pointing to a quieter night on the glass for Miller, this prop is worth a look.
