Memphis Grizzlies vs New Orleans Pelicans

Derik Queen (NOP) u 6.5 Reb

Odds 2.10 · Stake 0.50u

Starts Tue, Nov 3, 1:00 AM UTCPublished Mon, Nov 2, 1:23 PM UTC

Why we took it

Derik Queen has averaged 7.8 rebounds over his first five games, but his 6.5 line sits close to that mark, so a modest game against Memphis keeps the under live.

Queen grabbed 12 rebounds in his most recent game against Denver
His season average of 7.8 rebounds comes in just 23.8 minutes per game
New Orleans is grabbing 44.0 boards per game as a team this season
Memphis entered Sunday leading the league in scoring and 3-point shooting

Main risk: If Memphis' high-scoring, fast-paced attack keeps the game loose, Queen could see extra rebound chances.

What the odds say

Decimal odds of 2.10 imply a 47.6% chance (100 ÷ 2.10), before the bookmaker's margin. That is also the share of bets like this one that must win just to break even over time.

At a stake of 0.50u, a win returns 0.50 × (2.10 − 1) = +0.55u, a loss costs −0.50u, and a push or void returns the stake. See the methodology for how every pick is graded, and the unit calculator to turn units into your own stake.
