It's time to reconsider the Kenyon Martin Jr. hype and put your money on the under for his combined rebounds and assists (7.5) in the upcoming Memphis Grizzlies vs. Houston Rockets NBA showdown.

We all know that Kenyon Martin Jr. has had his moments this season, but let's take a deep dive into the numbers and see why betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists is the move for this game. As a data-driven sports enthusiast, I'm all about the numbers, and the numbers don't lie.

Martin Jr. is averaging 7.07 rebounds and assists this season. At home, he's averaging 7.11, and on the road, he's averaging 7.03. These numbers are just barely over the line, so it's not a stretch to think that he could fall below it in any given game. But the trends are even more telling.

Over the last 20 games, Martin Jr. is averaging 7.3 rebounds and assists, but that number drops to 5.8 over the last 10 games and 6.4 over the last 5 games. He's clearly trending downward, and betting the under looks increasingly attractive as we examine his recent performance.

When we look at individual games, Martin Jr. has had more than 7.5 rebounds and assists in 29 games this season, but less than 7.5 in 44 games. That's a 60% chance of hitting the under, based on the whole season. But when we look at his recent form, the under looks even more enticing. Over the last 10 games, he's had more than 7.5 rebounds and assists in just 2 games, which means he's covered the under in 8 of his last 10 games. That's an 80% chance of hitting the under if we focus on his recent form.

Finally, let's see how Martin Jr. has fared against the Memphis Grizzlies this season. In 3 games against them, he's averaging 6.67 rebounds and assists. That's below the 7.5 line, and it's another piece of evidence that supports our under bet.

Now, it's important to remember that anything can happen in sports, and there are no "sure things" or "safe bets." But as a data-driven sports analyst, I have to go with the numbers, and the numbers are pointing to the under for Kenyon Martin Jr.'s combined rebounds and assists in the upcoming Memphis vs. Houston game.

So, fellow sports bettors and basketball aficionados, consider this your heads-up: don't get caught up in the Kenyon Martin Jr. hype. The numbers are telling us that betting the under on his combined rebounds and assists is the smarter play. Let's ride this trend and cash in on the under in the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Houston Rockets showdown.
