Rudy Gobert gets plenty of attention on the glass, but Jaden McDaniels grabbed four offensive boards against Dallas. If you like Minnesota against Chicago, those extra possessions are one place the Timberwolves can make a difference.
McDaniels’s rebounds let you back that part of a Minnesota win. Josh Giddey’s points under fits a different read if you expect the Wolves to keep him passing out of drives and leave other Bulls to do more of the scoring.

Jaden McDaniels to grab six rebounds
McDaniels got to six against Utah even as Gobert pulled down 15. Thursday’s four offensive boards show where McDaniels can get extra chances alongside a center who cleans up plenty of misses. Six is the line I’d take a closer look at. He landed exactly there in six of Minnesota’s nine wins this season. Moving to seven cuts that record to three of nine.
He had just three boards in nearly 39 minutes against San Antonio. And across this season and last, he reached six in 21 of 53 Minnesota wins. This year’s line fits the role we’ve seen recently, with room for the under if McDaniels spends more of the game out on the perimeter.
Josh Giddey under 13.5 points
Giddey can create good shots for Chicago and stay under 14 himself. He had seven assists and nine points in Wednesday’s loss to San Antonio. Friday’s win over Atlanta showed the other side of the bet. He handed out 14 assists and still got to 15 points, helped by three made threes. If Minnesota gives him room to shoot when it takes away the pass, the under gets harder to trust.
The under has been common in his games this season, with only a modest increase in Chicago losses. It hit in half of his Chicago losses across both seasons. I’d consider it at the lighter price if you expect him to spend most of his touches setting up teammates.
