Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Golden State Warriors head to Phoenix, all eyes will be on Brandin Podziemski, but it might be wise to look at the "under" for his rebounding total set at 5.5. Despite a commendable recent run, averaging 5.8 rebounds on the road, Podziemski's overall numbers tell a different story. In his last five games, he's only managed 3.2 boards, and against the Suns, he's averaged just 3 rebounds-hardly the kind of dominance you'd expect from a rebounding leader. His recent away performance against tougher opponents shows a slight uptick, yet he's still fallen short more often than not. Considering he's hit the under in 6 of his last 7 games and against this specific opponent, it's a smart play to bet he won't clear that 5.5 threshold tonight. Expect the Suns to control the glass, limiting Podziemski's opportunities.

Jordan Goodwin (Phoenix Suns) Under 4.5 Rebounds (+104)

As the Phoenix Suns prepare to face the Golden State Warriors, all eyes will be on Jordan Goodwin, but don't expect him to soar over the 4.5 rebound mark. While Goodwin has shown flashes of potential, his recent performances hint at a more modest output. Averaging just 3.8 rebounds in his last five games, he's managed to secure only 3.4 boards against the Warriors historically, and even less-just 3-when playing at home. With the Suns' offense often focused on perimeter play, Goodwin may find himself less involved in the rebounding battle, especially with a crowded frontcourt. Moreover, he's hit the under on this line in all three of his last home games. With an expected stat value of 3.81, betting the under at 4.5 rebounds feels like a savvy move as he continues to navigate a challenging matchup.

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 6.5 Rebounds (-333)

As the Golden State Warriors gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Gui Santos, who has been a steady contributor off the bench. However, that's precisely why targeting the under on his rebounds at 6.5 makes sense. While Santos has shown flashes of potential, he's averaged just 4.8 boards in his last five games against the Suns and even less at 4.2 in their previous matchups. His recent performances away from home reveal a trend; he's managed just 6.4 rebounds on average, a number that feels inflated given the defensive intensity the Suns bring. With a hit rate of just 7 out of his last 9 away games and an expected stat value of 3.7, it's clear that the under is a strong play here. Look for Santos to stay under as the Warriors face a tough matchup in Phoenix.
