Rockets vs Pistons NBA Preview
Action PRO projects Pistons forward Ausar Thompson for 6.9 rebounds today, a great 23.6% edge against the market when compared to his 5.5 line.
He has surpassed this line in seven of his past eight contests and is coming off a 9-rebound game against the Pelicans.
Thompson is averaging 5.9 rebounds in his last 10 games this season.
At a great value, back him to go over his rebounds line against his twin brother, Amen, and the Rockets.
