Anytime Jokic is playing significant minutes these days, he should be expected to collect a bounty of rebounds. He has cleared this lofty prop in five straight games and in eight of his last 10, with one of those exceptions being a 25-minute jaunt against the 76ers.

Three-time MVP Nikola Jokic is always filling up the stat sheet but his work on the glass lately has been especially impressive. The superstar center has pulled down at least 14 boards in five-straight games and is averaging 16.4 rpg over that span. Tonight, Jokic and the Nuggets are coming off two days of rest and travel to Salt Lake City to face the Jazz tonight. Since the start of January, Utah is 26th in the league in rebounding rate (48.3%) while playing at the second-fastest pace. That should lead to plenty of rebounding opportunities for Joker.

The San Antonio Spurs’ 7-footer averaged a dozen rebounds throughout March on 17.3 rebounding chances across 15 games and closed the month with 16, 15, 15, and 15 boards in his last four outings. It helps that the Spurs defense is tightening the screws down the stretch, checking foes to less than 44% success from the floor. Player projections call for Wemby to dominate the window again, with forecasts between 12.6 and 14.2 rebounds tonight.

The race for NBA MVP is heating up and it's become clear that Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama wants it. The ultra talented big man is coming off a a game where he scored 41 points on a season-high 27 shots while adding 16 boards. Wemby is averaging 28.2 ppg over the last three weeks and has grabbed at least 15 boards in four straight games. He should dominate the Warriors who are weak in the frontcourt with Kristaps Porzingis, Quinton Post, and Al Horford all injured.
