Prop #1 – Nic Claxton Over 8 Rebounds<\/h2>

Line:<\/strong> Over 8 rebounds (-110<\/a>) at FanDuel<\/p>

Claxton averages 7.6 boards per game this season, but his role against Phoenix projects higher. He consistently logs 30+ minutes, and the Suns’ pace plus shot volume creates rebounding opportunities. Phoenix ranks middle of the pack in opponent rebounds allowed, and with Jusuf Nurkić often pulled away from the rim, Claxton should have clean looks on the glass.<\/p>

Brooklyn’s defense struggles overall, but Claxton’s rebounding usage spikes when the Nets face elite offenses. He’s cleared 8 boards in 5 of his last 8 games.<\/p>

Prop #2 – Cade Cunningham Over 20 Points<\/h2>

Line:<\/strong> Over 20 points (-115<\/a>) at DraftKings<\/p>

Cunningham is the Pistons’ offensive engine, averaging 25.9 points per game with a 30% usage rate. Against Boston, his shot volume remains high — he attempts 18+ field goals per night and gets to the line consistently.<\/p>
