As the Suns gear up to face the Nuggets, all eyes will be on Rasheer Fleming and his rebounding performance. While he's averaged 3.6 boards recently, a deeper dive reveals some telling trends. Against the formidable Nuggets, Fleming has only managed a single rebound in their last five matchups, and at home, he's been even less impactful, failing to grab a rebound in their last clash in Phoenix. With the Suns' offensive style and the presence of other rebounding threats, it's likely Fleming won't exceed the 3.5 mark. His recent home games show he's hit the under 17 times out of 20, making the under a tempting proposition. Given the expected stat value of just under 3 rebounds, this bet aligns perfectly with the data. So, let's keep an eye on Fleming-his rebounding may just fall short in this matchup.
Khaman Maluach (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Rebounds (-159)

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Denver Nuggets, Khaman Maluach's rebounding numbers tell an intriguing story. At home, he's been solid overall, averaging 5.2 boards in his last five games. However, when it comes to the Nuggets specifically, he's struggled-averaging just 0 rebounds in their last matchup at home. With the Suns' offensive strategy likely focusing on perimeter play against Denver's stout defense, it might limit Maluach's opportunities on the glass.His recent trend also weighs in favor of the under; he's hit this mark in just 3 out of his last 12 games against tougher competition. With an expected value of only 2.85 rebounds and an impressive hit rate of 16 out of 20 at home for staying under this line, this is a spot where backing the under on Maluach feels like a smart play. The data suggests he may not have the chance to hit that 4.5 mark
Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets) Under 13.5 Rebounds (-116)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
When the Denver Nuggets face off against the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Nikola Jokic. Although he's a rebounding monster, the numbers suggest a compelling case for the under on 13.5 boards. In his last five games, Jokic has averaged 11.8 rebounds overall, but when playing away, that number dips significantly to 15.2. Against the Suns specifically, he's pulled down an average of just 10 rebounds in recent away matchups. Add to that his recent form, where he's only exceeded 13.5 rebounds in 7 of his last 12 games, and it's clear Jokic might struggle to hit that number tonight. With the Suns focusing heavily on rebounding as a team, this could further limit Jokic's opportunities. Taking the under here feels like a smart move as he navigates a tough environment in Phoenix.
