Alperen Sengun (Houston Rockets) Under 8.5 Rebounds (-104)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Houston Rockets gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Alperen Sengun, but betting on him to grab over 8.5 rebounds might not be the best play. While Sengun has shown promise, averaging 7.4 boards in his last five games, his performances against Phoenix paint a different picture. Historically, he's pulled in just 6.2 rebounds in away matchups against this team, and his overall hit rate of 3 out of 4 for the under in recent games speaks volumes. On the road, Sengun has been slightly more productive, averaging 9.2 rebounds, but against the Suns, he tends to struggle. With an expected stat value of just 7.18 and a solid chance to hit the under based on historical data, backing Sengun to fall short of 8.5 rebounds seems like the savvy move for this matchup.

Jordan Goodwin (Phoenix Suns) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-135)

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Houston Rockets, all eyes should be on Jordan Goodwin and his rebounding performance. While Goodwin has shown flashes of potential, his recent stats suggest a trend that favors the Under on 5.5 boards. Averaging just 4.24 rebounds recently, he's been a bit inconsistent, especially against the Rockets, where he's pulled down an average of just 3.8 rebounds in their last five matchups. At home, he's slightly better with 4.5, but that still falls short of the line we're targeting. With a hit rate of 75% for the Under in his last four games, Goodwin seems poised to struggle against a Houston team that's been tough on the boards. Given that the Suns are stacked with other rebounders, it's hard to see Goodwin surpassing this threshold in what could be a crowded paint battle.

Against the Rockets, he tends to shine, even if his overall numbers suggest he's still warming up-his averages against Houston are 10.2 points and 2.8 rebounds. With a solid hit rate of 8 out of his last 11 home games, it seems he thrives in front of the home crowd. The expected stat value of 16.25 suggests he could comfortably exceed that 14.5 mark. This matchup sets the stage for Gillespie to step up, and if he finds his rhythm early, he could easily surpass our target. Keep an eye on him; this could be his
