Spencer Dinwiddie Over 3.5 Rebounds (-106)
It's hard to find situations we can feel real confident about tonight. This is one I feel pretty good about.
The Brooklyn Nets are one of the few teams on this slate that have something to play for as they are still fighting with the Miami Heat for the 6 seed. The Nets have a super soft matchup tonight with the Orlando Magic. Orlando stinks at full strength, and they're sitting pretty much everyone today.
Spencer Dinwiddie has pulled down either three or four boards in each of his last six games, so this line being 3.5 makes a ton of sense. However, I think the pricing is a little off, creating some value.
Dinwiddie has snagged at least four rebounds in six of his previous nine games, and with Brooklyn needing a win, minutes shouldn't be an issue.
Our model has him projected for 4.3 rebounds tonight. The over is the side I'll be on.
Brandon Ingram Over 5.5 Rebounds (-120)
The New Orleans Pelicans have a lot on the line tonight in their game against the New York Knicks as the Pels still have a shot at the 6 seed.
Brandon Ingram has been a monster of late, doing it all for the Pelicans, including rebounding. Ingram has totaled six-plus boards in five of his past six outings. He's finished with seven-plus rebounds in half of his last eight games.
The Pels are hosting a Knicks squad that will be without Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Jalen Brunson. The absences of Randle and Robinson ding the Knicks on the glass.
We project Ingram to get 6.2 rebounds.
Bennedict Mathurin Over 18.5 Points (-118)
Our model really likes this one.
Bennedict Mathurin should see an expanded role tonight for the Indiana Pacers, a team that has already ruled out Tyrese Haliburton and has all of Myles Turner, T.J. McConnell and Jalen Smith listed as questionable.
With Haliburton off the court this season, Mathurin owns a 27.2% usage rate and pours in 24.2 points per 36 minutes, according to CourtIQ.
He could torch the Detroit Pistons. Detroit has the third-worst defensive rating over the last 10 games and is allowing 26.3 points per night to two-guards across the last 15 games.
We have Mathurin netting 21.8 points tonight -- well over this line.
