u229.5 (-110)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is out due to a knee injury, while Kevin Porter and Myles Turner are also questionable to suit up. For Utah, Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George are sidelined – their two best players.

Russell Westbrook o5.5 Total Rebounds (+110)
Westbrook is averaging 5.1 rebounds over his last nine games and has hauled down seven or more in three of his last four. The Sixers are missing several key rebounders and rank dead last in eFG% in March. That means lots of boards for Westbrook to scoop up.
VJ Edgecombe o21.5 Points Scored (-102)
This game sets up as a must-win for the Philadelphia 76ers, who are still fighting to stay in the playoff race while they wait for Tyrese Maxey and others to return. Given the current roster, this spot should be all about VJ Edgecombe’s usage. If he’s not taking 20+ shots and pushing toward 35+ minutes, it would be surprising. The opportunity is simply too big in this matchup. Edgecombe’s skill set fits perfectly here. He’s an explosive, downhill slasher, and Sacramento lacks a true point-of-attack defender who can match his athleticism. On top of that, Maxime Raynaud doesn’t provide much resistance at the rim, which should make it easier for Edgecombe to finish once he gets into the paint. The Kings also struggle in transition, and that’s another area where Edgecombe thrives as a one-man fast break. With volume and matchup both working in his favor, I price this prop at -205 for him to clear 21.5 points.
