Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama's three-point shooting.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Spurs gear up to host the Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on the rising star, Victor Wembanyama. While his talent is undeniable, recent trends suggest he might not reach the rebound heights we've come to expect. At home, he's averaging just 10.8 rebounds in his last five outings, significantly lower than the 14.5 line set for this game. Against Portland, he's pulled down an average of 9 boards in their recent matchups, which hints at a potential struggle against their frontcourt.
