Jakob Poeltl Rebounds Over 7.5 (-135)
Jakob Poeltl is back and this number looks advantageous. Coming off a back issue that limited his mobility and minutes, the big man is finally healthy and expected to reclaim his starting spot tonight against Washington. With Collin Murray-Boyle listed as doubtful, Poeltl should see an expanded role and elevated minutes – and the matchup couldn’t set up any better.
Washington surrenders the 3rd most rebounds to opposing centers in the league, allowing 9.2 per game to the position – nearly 2 full boards above Poeltl’s season average of 7.3. We ran this through our *BRAND NEW* player props matchup tool over at TheMoneyBaller.com and the positional differential spits out a projection of 9.7 rebounds in this spot. A healthy Poeltl with extra minutes against one of the softest frontcourts in the league for opposing bigs is a dangerous combination.
