Best Nuggets-Thunder Prop Bet | November 3
Josh Giddey O/U 7.5 Rebounds
One of the breakout stars of the 2021-22 season, Giddey finds himself in an enviable spot tonight against the Nuggets, and targeting his low rebound prop makes a lot of sense.
After missing three games due to an ankle injury, Giddey returned to the court on Tuesday night and proceeded to post a rather modest stat line when compared to his usual standards. Expected to see his minutes increase, we have Giddey projected to pull down 8.13 rebounds tonight, while his rebound total on FanDuel currently sits at only 7.5 with the juice heavily on the under.
With only three rebounds combined over his last two games, it’s no surprise that Giddey’s rebound prop has fallen to 7.5. It must be remembered, however, that the Oklahoma City combo guard averaged 7.8 rebounds per game last year. After grabbing 11 boards in Denver the last time these teams matched up, Giddey’s rebound prop is too low tonight, and facing a Nuggets team he’s averaged eight rebounds per game against throughout his career, over 7.5 is the clear play.
