NBA Player Prop #3: Ivica Zubac Under 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Match Details

Fixture: Los Angeles Clippers @ Denver Nuggets

Date & Time: Thursday, January 5, 2023; 10:00 pm EDT

Venue: Ball Arena, Denver, Colorado

Zubac is a big body but is not going to be able to grab a lot of rebounds throughout this game as guys like Nikola Jokic are going to step up and be able to grab a bunch of rebounds in this game. He is playing 30 minutes per game and that means he will be on the floor. However, he is averaging seven rebounds in his last two games as well. All in all, go with under 10.5 rebounds in this game for Zubac as well.
