In the upcoming Wizards vs. Timberwolves game on Wednesday, November 19, Rudy Gobert is projected to be the leading rebounder. The Minnesota center faces a favorable matchup against Washington, which allows the most rebounds to opposing centers.
The NBA features a nine-game slate on Wednesday, November 19, including key matchups like Rockets vs. Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. ET and Knicks vs. Mavericks at 9:30 p.m. ET. Among the top player prop bets highlighted by experts is Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves to lead the game in rebounds against the Washington Wizards, available at -131 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Gobert has experienced a down year in rebounding so far, but this matchup offers a strong opportunity for a rebound. Washington permits the highest number of rebounds to centers league-wide. Last season, Gobert dominated Alex Sarr twice, recording 16 and 11 rebounds in those games and easily leading in rebounding. With Jonas Valanciunas, Washington's top rebounding backup big last year, now out of the picture, the bet appears even more secure.
Concerns about a potential blowout exist when facing Washington, which could lead to resting starters late. However, Gobert's prop as the game's leading rebounder remains appealing, as he could still top the stat even if his total falls short of usual expectations. The 7-foot center is expected to crash the glass effectively in this contest.
