Alex Barutha: Andre Drummond over 14.5 rebounds -104 vs Bucks -- FanDuel, 2:28 PM CT
The Bucks have no real centers available to box out Drummond, who has been a monster on the glass this season (18.6 rebounds per 36 minutes). Milwaukee is also a below-average rebounding team, allowing the 10th-most boards per 36 minutes. It's a high number, but undoubtedly reachable.
Nick Whalen: Jusuf Nurkic to have a double-double (+115) at LA Clippers -- FanDuel, 2:35 PM CT
Getting to double-digit points is never a guarantee with Nurkic, but I like this bet at plus money against one of the league's worst rebounding teams. Nurkic already has games with 10 and 17 boards against the Clippers this season, and he's coming off of a 15-point, 17-rebound double-double Saturday against the Lakers. Entering Tuesday, only two teams (Minnesota and OKC) give up more rebounds per 100 possessions than the Clippers.
Joe Bartel: Paul George under 27.5 points (-108) against POR -- 1:07 PM CT
This just feels like an awfully high line even though the Trail Blazers predictably struggle to cover backcourt scorers. Save for the three-game stretch last week where George was connecting on 56 percent of his shots, the extra workload minus Kawhi Leonard (knee) hasn't really benefited him the way many (including myself) would have suspected. If the All-Star gets hot from beyond the arc this bet is basically cooked, so if you're thinking about fading it I'd direct your attention to over 3.5 three-pointers made which sits at a tantalizing +142.
