Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 11.5 Rebounds (+106)

As the San Antonio Spurs gear up to face the Portland Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, yet this matchup may not be as favorable for his rebound totals. While he's been a rebounding machine, averaging a robust 14 boards over his last five games, his performance at home presents a different narrative. He's pulled down just 10.8 rebounds on his home court lately, and against Portland, he's averaged only 9 boards in their previous encounters. The Spurs have a solid home hit rate, but Wembanyama's numbers against the Blazers suggest that he tends to be more focused on scoring rather than crashing the glass in these matchups.

Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs) Under 2.5 Threes Made (-139)

As the Spurs gear up to face the Trail Blazers, all eyes will be on Victor Wembanyama, a player whose three-point shooting has sparked plenty of excitement. However, let's temper those expectations and consider betting the under on 2.5 made threes. While he's been lethal from beyond the arc, averaging 2.6 threes against Portland in their recent matchups, his home performance tells a different story. Over the last five games at home, he's only netted an average of 1.8 threes, and that drop-off is evident in his overall stats as well. With the Trail Blazers' defense tightening up, it's worth noting he's been held under 2.5 threes in four of his last five home games. This game might be a showcase for him, but don't be surprised if Wembanyama finishes just shy of that mark tonight.
