We have nine games across the NBA on Wednesday, January 17th, so there are plenty of routes to attack on Underdog Fantasy Pick Em. There are a lot of great spots on today’s slate, but two I’m targeting are Jarrett Allen of the Cleveland Cavaliers squaring up with the Milwaukee Bucks and Nick Richards taking on the New Orleans Pelicans. Let’s dive into our top Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick Em’s of the day!

 

Top Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick'em Plays

Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers

Since December 7th, the day after Evan Mobley played his last game before injury, Jarrett Allen is averaging, wait for it, 19.8 potential rebounds per game, which is fourth in the league behind Rudy Gobert, Domantas Sabonis, and Jusuf Nurkic. He’s hit the over this number in eight of his last nine games including one game against the Bucks. This is a massive pace-up spot for Cleveland and that will lead to a lot of shots and many more rebounding opportunities.

Pick: Over 11.5 rebounds

Nick Richards, Charlotte Hornets

It’s interesting to see potential rebounds since the start of January and man, there are not many players ahead of Nick Richards. In fact, just seven players are averaging more potential rebounds than Richards in January. Richards sits at 19 rebound opportunities per game across just 28.1 minutes. He’s hit the over on this number in seven straight games and 12 of 13 overall. Really like Richards to continue to smash on the glass.

Pick: Higher 7.0 rebounds
