Indiana Pacers vs Orlando Magic
Tip 3: Wendell Carter Jr. - Under 8.5 Rebounds - 1pt
Best odds of 4/5 at Ladbrokes while publishing.
Wendell Carter Jr. has failed to exceed 8.5 rebounds in 8 of his last 10 games and none in his last 5 outings (6, 7, 8, 7, 4 rebounds), averaging just 7.4 per game this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Phoenix Suns
Tip 4: Mark Williams - Under 8.5 Rebounds - 0.5pt
Best odds of 19/20 at BetMGM while publishing.
Mark Williams has failed to exceed 8.5 rebounds in 8 of his last 10 games, averaging 8.3 per game this season and just 7.8 over his last 5 outings (8, 13, 9, 5, 4 rebounds). Facing the tall Cavaliers frontcourt led by Jarrett Allen on the rim, his rebounding volume should stay suppressed. This makes the under a strong 1.5-point leg in the matchup.
