With a scorching average of 30 points in his last five away games, he's proven to be a force to be reckoned with on the road. In fact, against the Spurs, he's been downright dominant, averaging an astounding 38 points over their last five matchups, and 35 when playing in San Antonio. The numbers don't lie: Embiid has hit the over on 24.5 points in 14 of his last 16 games, boasting a remarkable hit rate of 100% in his last five away contests. With an expected stat value of 31.16, it's clear he's primed for another big night.

As the San Antonio Spurs host the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but a closer look at his rebounding numbers suggests a different narrative. While he's been an impressive force on the boards, averaging 16.4 rebounds over his last five games, the context matters. At home, Wembanyama's numbers dip to an average of 11.8 rebounds, and against the 76ers, he's managed just 10.5 per game recently. In fact, when the spotlight is brightest in front of a home crowd, he's only surpassed the 13.5 mark once in his last seven home appearances. With an expected value of just 11.06, it seems prudent to target the Under here. Given the matchup and his recent form, it's likely he won't hit that lofty rebound total, making this a compelling wager to consider.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Spurs host the 76ers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, but betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists at 16.5 might just be the savvy play. Despite his impressive averages of 16.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists over the last five games, his home performance tells a different story. At home, he's hitting just 11.8 boards and 4.4 assists-well below our target. The 76ers are no slouches defensively, allowing only 10.5 rebounds and 4 assists from Wembanyama in their recent matchups. With a hit rate of just 11 out of his last 19 games and a solid 15 out of 19 at home, it's clear he's been held back in crunch moments. Take the under here; sometimes, even the brightest stars shine less brightly against tough competition.
