Trail Blazers vs Spurs NBA Preview
Action PRO projects Spurs guard Stephon Castle for 3.96 rebounds tonight, an excellent 20.1% edge against the market when compared to his 5.5 line.
Castle is averaging 4.9 rebounds this season, but in his last 10 games, that number drops to 3.5.
His eight rebounds on Friday against the Pacers were an outlier. He went under tonight's 5.5 rebounds line in his previous eight games.
Our recommendation is to fade him tonight against the Trail Blazers.
