Best Bets

Jeremy Sochan over 5.5 rebounds (-130) at Lakers

PointsBet, 3:48 PM CT

Alex Barutha: Sochan is averaging 6.9 rebounds this month and grabbed eight rebounds each of the past two times these teams faced off. Over the past 30 days, the Lakers are last in both offensive and defensive rebounding, specifically allowing the second-most boards to opposing power forwards.

Parlay: Clippers to win at Grizzles; Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to each have 2+ steals (+252)

DraftKings, 3:54 PM CT

Alex Barutha: This isn't a can't-pass-up value, but it's a fun bet and aligns with what we've seen recently from these squads. The Clippers are 9-point favorites on the road against the Grizzlies, who have the third-highest turnover rate over the past month. I couldn't decide whose steal prop I liked more between Kawhi and PG -- so why not both?

Rockets to cover +4 points vs. Suns

PointsBet, 3:58 PM CT

Alex Barutha: Houston has 24 wins this season, and an absurd 19 of those have come at home. They're one of the most drastic home/road split teams in the NBA. They've finally regained close to full health, while Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic are both expected to sit out for Phoenix.
