Lebron James Over 6.5 Rebounds at Boston
Over the past five away games, LeBron James has been pulling down an average of 8.0 defensive boards per game. And he is averaging 34.8 minutes per game this season. Also, the Lakers have picked up the pace with the fastest tempo in the league over the last 20 games. That tells me there will be more rebounding opportunities for the King.
Update: Lebron James was ruled out with a ankle injury and trade rumors
Evan Mobley Over 17.5 Total Points, Rebound & Assists at Memphis
Mobley has gone over this total in 9 of his last ten games and is logging 32.5 minutes/game. The Cavs have a huge rebounding advantage here, too (7th in the NBA to the Grizzlies 27th), and Mobley’s recent road foul shots are 4.0/game, 1.1 higher, which is excellent because, against the Grizzlies, PFs draw fouls, too, with 4.6 attempts/per game. This total needs to be higher for everything Mobley offers tonight.
Update: Mobley was a late addition to the injury report and was ruled out due to injury management.
Kelly Oubre Jr. Under 18.5 Points at Utah
Ourbre Jr. has only hit over this in 2 of his last ten games. Yes, the 76ers have injury woes, and Oubre Jr. has seen his minutes and usage rate rise, but this game will be slow-paced and have fewer opportunities than normal. Considering that he has been getting into foul trouble recently, he has been cold from behind the arc (2 for his last 20 3PT attempts), and we have a total that feels way too good for me not to take the under.
Result: Under (16) ✅
