In tonight's matchup against the Houston Rockets, targeting Jaden McDaniels for under 1.5 threes made feels like a savvy move. While McDaniels has been consistent overall, with an impressive hit rate of 11 out of his last 13 games, the numbers tell a different story when he faces off against Houston. He's averaging just 0.6 threes against them recently, and even more telling, that drops to 0.4 when playing at home.The Timberwolves may lean heavily on other scorers, particularly with the Rockets' defensive schemes, which could further limit McDaniels' opportunities from beyond the arc. With an average of 1.4 threes in his last five games-1 at home-it's clear that the odds favor a quieter night for him. Given all this, betting the under seems not only prudent but a smart, data-driven play in this contest.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes should be on Alperen Sengun, particularly if you're contemplating the under on his rebounding total of 11.5. While Sengun has the talent to pull down boards, recent trends tell a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 8 rebounds, and when playing away, that number remains the same. Now, the Timberwolves present a unique challenge. Historically, Sengun has averaged 10.6 rebounds against them on the road, but with the Timberwolves' frontcourt bolstering its defensive presence, it's reasonable to expect a dip. Plus, considering the Rockets' overall dynamics, Sengun might find himself more involved in playmaking than cleaning the glass. With an expected stat value of just 8.11, this under looks increasingly appealing. It's a tall order for him to surpass 11.5 on the boards tonight.
