The Trail Blazers' defense might focus on limiting his scoring, but that opens up opportunities for dimes.

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Charlotte Hornets, Jrue Holiday stands out as a prime candidate to clear 3.5 rebounds. In his last three games, he's been a rebounding machine, hitting the over in each one, showcasing a consistency that's hard to ignore. Not only has he averaged 4 rebounds in his last five games, but he's also proven adept at finding the ball amid the chaos, especially at home where he's snagged 4 rebounds per game.Charlotte's slightly porous rebounding defense, allowing 4 rebounds per game to opposing guards, adds to the allure. Given that Holiday has already averaged 4.6 expected rebounds lately, targeting the over feels like a savvy play. With a hit rate of 4 out of 5 at home, he's primed to deliver once again. It's a solid bet that could pay dividends!
