Jonas Valanciunas over 12.5 rebounds (-120) vs. Warriors -- FanDuel, 1:55 PM CT
The Warriors allow the most rebounds per game (48.5) in the NBA, and Valanciunas is exactly the type of player who can take advantage of that. He has 13 games this season with at least 13 boards, and he has two 20-rebound efforts as well. Plus, Golden State is expected to be without both Steph Curry and Kelly Oubre, so I'm banking on plenty of missed shots for Valanciunas to gobble up.

Deandre Ayton under 10.5 rebounds (-106) - DraftKings Sportsbook 11:41 am
Foul trouble forced Ayton to record just seven boards Thursday, but even when the Suns and Timberwolves squared off earlier this month, the big man was held under this figure as well. For as much flak as the Timberwolves' defense (rightfully) gets, they aren't terrible when it comes to limiting opposing centers on the glass, and while Ayton likely is a player who could be motivated to play better after a miserable outing the night before, 10.5 is just too high of a figure for his recent play.
