Happy Monday, sports betting compadres! Friday was a good night for us on the college hardwood, as our player props went 1-0 to run our record to 50-44 on the season. That brings our overall units down to -1.1 units.
Since the college hoops slate is pretty light today, I'm going to take a stab at the Association. I don't normally handicap NBA action, so keep that in mind if you wish to follow along. I've been working on some rebounding props behind the scenes and they're 10-4 so far.
For full transparency, I'm only playing these for a 4th of what my normal bet size is. Okay, enough rambling, let's get to today's selections! Best of luck, my friends!
MEM at PHX: 8:00 PM EST
BetMGM is being extra generous this morning with Wells's rebounding total. Sure, the -140 juice is kind of rough, but check out where every other sportsbook has this line. FanDuel and DraftKings both have it in the -166 to -174 range.
Well's median rebounding number is just 3 this season. He also typically plays just 25 minutes per game, which makes me like this play even more. Give me the Under!
Wells is 38-26 to the Under vs. this line in '24-25.
Wells averages just 3.3 rebounds per game this season.
Wells has gone Under this line in 20 of his 32 home games this year.
NYK at SAC: 10:30 PM EST
BetMGM is once again giving us a fantastic line with this play. It's the only spot in the US market that is offering up plus money on Anunoby's Over in rebounding. I love getting +100 when Caesars and FanDuel are both pricing this at -125. That's the type of line value we can hang our hats on.
Sacramento is a good rebounding team, but that's mostly because of Domantas Sabonis. However, the 6'10" power forward will miss tonight's game with a hamstring injury. This should open up more opportunities on the glass for Anunoby and the Knicks.
Anunoby is averaging 4.7 rebounds per game in '24-25.
He grabbed 8 boards his last time out against the Clippers.
Anunoby typically plays around 36 minutes per game.
BKN at LAL: 7:30 PM EST
Here's another line that's kind of a head-scratcher to me. Hard Rock is giving us -105 juice while FanDuel has it at -136 and DraftKings is pricing it -140. That's more than enough line value to pull the trigger in my opinion.
Claxon is averaging just 7.4 rebounds per game this season, so I was a bit shocked that this line wasn't 7.5 instead of 8.5. Sure, LeBron James being out with a groin strain makes this play seem dicey, but I'll trust the market and play the Under.
Claxton is 36-19 to the Under vs. this line in '24-25.
Claxton has gone Under this total in 4 of his last 6 outings.
Claxton only grabbed 8 boards earlier this vs. the Lakers.
