This is just too low for Walker Kessler. I understand that he has been coming off the bench, but he still a rebound magnet in the limited minutes he has been getting. Kessler has averaged 7.6 rebounds per game in just over 23 minutes a night. I expect him to get us six here.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz Prediction
Kessler finds himself against an OKC squad who allow the fifth most rebounds to Centers in the NBA. We have seen bench bigs have big rebounding nights against them in their last two matchups. Daniel Theis grabbed eight in 20 minutes which is more than double his season average. Christian Wood grabbed seven rebounds in just 14 minutes! Kessler could feast.
Kessler has hit this prop in ten of his last 14 games and gets a good matchup. I know the juice is high here but this prop should be 6.5 all day long. Rebounding props aren’t as fun to root for but this is the main prop on the whole slate that stood out to me. Let's roll!
