Glass Cleaner – Sacramento Kings/Houston Rockets
Russell Westbrook continues to perform well on the glass on a near nightly basis. He’s averaging 11.3 rebounds in 36.6 minutes per game over the last 10 days. Westbrook has also posted a triple double in each of his last three games. In those contests, he’s averaging 12.3 rebounds per game. Westbrook is also averaging 2.5 more rebounds in 1.8 fewer minutes per game at home this season. The Sacramento Kings don’t feature the guard size to keep Westbrook off of the glass tonight.
Clint Capela is one of the best rebounders in the NBA. He ranks second in the league with a 23.1% rebounding rate. Capela has only played 3 games over the last 10 days, and he’s averaging 14.7 rebounds per game over that span. He posted 19+ rebounds in each of his 8 games prior to that, as well. Capela will continue to find elite success on the boards, and he could post over 50% of the rebounds needed for this prop.
Richaun Holmes has been locked into big minutes for Sacramento. He’s averaging 10.4 rebounds in 35.5 minutes per game over the last 10 days. In those five games, he has posted nine or more rebounds in each game. Holmes will see extra opportunities for rebounds because of the pace the Houston Rockets play at. Each of these three players come with double-digit rebound potential, and this total is still set a bit too low for this particular matchup.
Play 1 unit on Russell Westbrook, Clint Capela, and Richaun Holmes OVER 33.5 rebounds to win 1.8 units (1.8x)
