Return to Stats

My analysis and result is that Coby White will go over the line of 3.5 rebounds.

  1. Player's Season and Recent Performance:

    • Coby White's season average for rebounds is 3.581, which is marginally above the line of 3.5. This indicates that he has consistently been close to or over the line throughout the season.
    • Over his last 5 games, his average drops slightly to 3.4, yet still very close to the line. It suggests recent performance has been slightly below his season average but not dramatically so.

  2. Performance Against Opponent:

    • Against the Washington Wizards, he averages 3.86 rebounds, which is clearly over the line set. Historically, he has performed well in terms of rebounding against this particular team.
    • Reviewing past performances: he has achieved 4 or more rebounds in most games against Washington, including an 8-rebound high in their most recent matchup, affirming his capability against this opposition.

  3. Opposition's Rebound Statistics:

    • The Wizards rank 29th in Defensive Rebound percentage but are relatively better in Offensive Rebounding at 20th. This implies an opportunity for White to gather more defensive rebounds due to the Wizards' below-average ability to secure defensive boards.
    • The matchup favors high tempo with both teams ranking in the top 5 for pace, enhancing the opportunity for more rebounding scenarios.

  4. Player Rebounding Opportunities:

    • White's total rebounding chances are 8.4 per game, with a contest rate of 0.4, showing decent opportunities to gather rebounds in games. Given a team pace that creates numerous possessions, this indicates a promising context for him to hit the over.
    • His defensive rebounding chances being 7 and a percentage of 50 signifies a strong share of opportunities coming from defensive plays, matching the Wizards' strength on offense.

  5. Injuries and Lineup Factors:

    • Bulls' injury report indicates a potentially reduced efficiency in rebound options elsewhere, prompting White at the guard position to contribute more on the glass. Zach LaVine’s questionable status, for instance, could affect available perimeter defenders and alter rotations favorably for White's role.

Considering these factors, Coby White is positioned well to surpass the rebound line of 3.5 against an opponent where he traditionally excels in this category. The recommendation, therefore, is to take the over on Coby White's rebounds.
