NBA Player Props: Evan Mobley
In the midst of all these odds, a particular bet stands out for its value: Mobley under 11.5 rebounds. PRO Projections peg the USC product for just 8.6 boards in Game 3.
The PRO Projections signal specifically flags this bet as a significant opportunity, rooted in a robust analysis of Mobley’s rebounding capabilities, the matchup specifics and historical performance data.
The projections, carefully calculated based on a large sample size and honed by our team of experts, suggest that Mobley is less likely to surpass the 11.5-rebound mark in this particular matchup against the Celtics.
The PRO Projections employ advanced statistical techniques to compare our in-depth odds against those in the general betting markets. When these projections significantly diverge from market odds, as they do with Mobley’s rebounding prop, it indicates a strong bet.
Considering the caliber of the Celtics’ defense and their ability to limit opponents’ rebounding opportunities — particularly in key matchups like this — the under on Mobley’s rebounding prop becomes an even sharper bet.
In fact, at a 28.4% edge and an A+ grade, it’s the top NBA player prop from our PRO Projections tonight.
