Wemby has crashed the glass with authority this season, and my Spurs vs Nuggets predictions expect him to hit the Over on a modest rebound line.

Spurs vs Nuggets best bet: Victor Wembanyama Over 11.5 rebounds (+100)

Victor Wembanyama is pulling down a career-best 11.5 rebounds, so he’ll need just a slightly above-average game to cash the Over here. As an added bonus, we’re getting this prop at even money.

In six head-to-head matchups with Nikola Jokic, Wembanyama has averaged a whopping 14.7 boards, and he’s corralled 12+ rebounds four times.

He should be well-rested after getting a maintenance day on Thursday, so I expect a strong night cleaning the glass.

Denver hasn’t been great against the spread at home this season, going 18-19 at Ball Arena and just…
