NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Brad Thomas ( @MrBradThomas ) is diving into the player accessory market for this game: Guerschon Yabusele OVER 7.5 rebounds (-115)
“Yabusele crushed that number last game with Embiid and Drummond out. Embiid is out, and Drummond is hesitant. They’re playing a poor shooting Wizards team that gives up a ton of boards to centers. Go sailing again tonight.”
