NBA Player Props Today – Monday, March 17, 2025
- Tobias Harris Over/Under 5.5 Rebounds
- Karl-Anthony Towns Over/Under 11.5 Rebounds
- Zion Williamson Over/Under 5.5 Rebounds
Tobias Harris OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-125, DraftKings)
In 6 games to begin March, Harris is averaging 8.5 rebounds for the Pistons. In the 5 games in which advanced player tracking has been available, Harris is averaging 12.8 rebound chances per contest, trailing only Jalen Duren on his own team for opportunities on the glass. Harris gets a favorable matchup against a New Orleans team that has allowed the 6th-most rebounds per game to forwards across their last 8 games. Harris has recorded 6+ rebounds in 17 of their 29 games this season in which Jaden Ivey has been out, including 6 of their 10 road games.
This is good value for Harris in a good matchup.
Karl-Anthony Towns OVER 11.5 Rebounds (-135, bet365)
Towns enters play on Monday averaging 13.1 rebounds per game this season. Tonight, he gets a favorable matchup against Miami, who is allowing the 7th-most rebounds per game to opposing centers across their last 8 games.
Towns has seen his rebound chances dip a little bit since Mitchell Robinson returned to action, but part of that is likely due to foul trouble as well. Towns fouled out this past Saturday in only 30 minutes, and has 3 games this month with 5+ fouls. If he can do a better job staying out of foul trouble this evening, he should have plenty of opportunities to rack up some boards.
Zion Williamson OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-130, bet365)
Simply, this is a low number for Williamson. In his last 10 games, he has 0 games with fewer than 9 rebound chances. This season, Williamson has recorded 6+ rebounds in 23 of their 28 games, including 20 of their 24 games in which Herb Jones has been inactive.
The Pistons have allowed more rebounds per game to forwards than the league average across their last 8 games. Williamson should be able to get the job done here.
