Read our reasoning

Season avg 12.2 RPG (5 games, small sample — treat with caution). Historical L10 avg 9.9 (range 3-20), 5/10 over 9.5 — a near coin-flip rate historically. vs LAC last season (4g): 8.0 rebounds, well below the 9.5 line. Market heavily prices the over at -417 (80.7% implied), but the true historical rate is ~50% and the LAC matchup has historically suppressed his boards. Under at +176 (36.2% implied) offers strong positive expected value given the gap between market implied probability and observed rate.
