Amen Thompson has averaged 9.8 rebounds over his last nine games. During that span, he grabbed at least eight rebounds seven times. In one of the games that he didnтАЩt, he just missed with seven boards. A key to his gaudy rebounding stats is that he played 39 minutes a night during that span. The last time he faced the Knicks, he grabbed 10 rebounds over 40 minutes. With the expectation that he plays a lot again Tuesday, the over is the way to go here.
DraftKings. While Alperen Sengun has put together some solid performances of late, itтАЩs largely come in softer matchups for the Rockets big man. Tonight shouldnтАЩt be one of those, as the Knicks have allowed the fewest combined points rebounds and assists to opposing centers, both over the course of the season and over the last 15 games. The Rockets running bigger lineups make it easier for the Knicks to play Mitchell Robinson more minutes - the Knicks backup center and defensive dynamo has been eating into Karl-Anthony TownsтАЩ playing time as is. Sengun is under this line in 12/19 games against teams in the top 10 of allowing centers the fewest combined PRA, including 10 of the last 11. IтАЩd bet this to under 32.5.
