Based on his current tear and historical dominance against Phoenix, I'm backing John Collins to eclipse 6.5 rebounds in tonight's game.
Let's talk about the man in the middle for the Utah Jazz, John Collins. The guy has been vacuuming up boards like a high-end Dyson lately, and tonight, he's facing a Phoenix Suns team that's been generous to him on the glass. I'm not just saying this because the guy's got hops or because he's got a knack for being in the right place at the right time; the numbers are speaking loud and clear. Let's break it down.
First things first, Collins is grabbing an average of 8.0 rebounds this season; that's already 1.5 boards over the line we're discussing. But, like any savvy bettor, we don't just look at averages; we look at trends. And if you've been keeping tabs on Collins, you'd know he's been trending up like Bitcoin in a bull market. Over the last 20 games, he's pulling down 7.85 rebounds a game, and if you narrow that scope to the last 10 games, the man's averaging a whopping 9.1 rebounds. But wait, there's more! In the past 5 games, he's upped that to 9.2. If that's not an upward trend, I don't know what is.
Now, let's throw in some home vs. away stats for good measure. Collins grabs 8.22 rebounds at home and 7.8 on the road. Sure, tonight's game is away, but he's still snagging more than enough to clear our 6.5 target. And when you consider he's had more than 6.5 rebounds in 28 games this season, compared to 20 games with fewer, the smart money's on him keeping this rebound party going.
But here's the kicker - Collins seems to have the Suns' number. In 3 games against Phoenix, he's pulling down an average of 12.0 rebounds. That's not just beating the line; that's taking it out to dinner, ordering the lobster, and skipping out on the bill. The Suns' interior must look like a buffet to Collins, and he's coming in with an appetite.
Let's also not forget that Collins is part of a Jazz squad that's been making some noise this season, rallying from behind and showing they've got the grit to grind it out in the paint. Coach Will Hardy's defense-first mantra is music to the ears of rebound aficionados, and with a matchup against the Suns, who've been outrebounded by the Jazz in previous games, the stage is set for Collins to shine.
In the world of sports betting, especially in the NBA, the devil's in the details, and the details are all pointing towards a big night on the boards for John Collins. So, while I'm not in the business of calling anything a lock (because let's be real, there's no such thing in betting), all signs are pointing to a strong performance from Collins in the rebounding department.
To sum it up, between the upward trends, his history against Phoenix, and the Jazz's current dynamics, there's enough data to confidently back John Collins to grab over 6.5 rebounds tonight against the Suns. So, if you're looking to make a play, consider this: Collins is not just a high-flyer; he's a rebound machine, and tonight, he's set to put in the work on the glass.
