Player Prop #3: Rudy Gobert / Over Rebounds / 12.5 at -120 / 75% / Gobert dominates boards (14.1 RPG without Towns/Edwards), exploiting Kings’ rebounding rate of 47% without Eubanks/Sabonis

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment favors the Timberwolves on the spread and moneyline, aligning with sharp action as lines hold steady despite key injuries on both sides, indicating value in the home team rather than a fade. The Kings’ missing Sabonis hampers their scoring efficiency (down 12 points per 100 possessions without him this season), while Minnesota’s depth covers Edwards’ absence. Overall game scoring outlook leans under, with combined offensive ratings dropping to 108.2 in injury-impacted matchups.
