Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to host the Denver Nuggets, all eyes will be on Julian Champagnie. However, betting on him to hit the over on 16.5 points and rebounds seems risky. Despite playing at home, where he averages just 8.4 points and 3 rebounds over his last five games, Champagnie has struggled to find his rhythm. His overall averages of 11 points and 3.2 rebounds paint a picture of a player who's been more of a supporting role than a star. Facing a solid Nuggets defense, he's only managed 11.3 points and 3 rebounds per game against them at home recently. Given his impressive hit rate of 13 out of 17 for the under, it's safe to say the odds are stacked against him. With an expected stat value of just 13.22, the under feels like the smarter play in this matchup.
