Betting on Evan Mobley to snag over 8.5 rebounds against the 76ers is a smart play, considering his recent surge and Philly's generosity on the boards. 

When the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers clash on the hardwood tonight, all eyes might be on the All-Stars and flashy guards dropping dimes and sinking threes, but I'm here to tell you that the real action is happening in the paint, where Cavs' big man Evan Mobley is about to clean up the glass like a janitor on a power trip.

Now, let's break it down by the numbers, because that's how I roll. Mobley is pulling down an average of 10.25 boards per game this season, comfortably above the 8.5 threshold. When he's holding down the fort at home, those numbers bump up to an eye opening 11 rebounds at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The dude's consistency is on full display clocking in at 19 games with more than 8.5 rebounds this season.

Now let's get into the lovely trends. Over the last 20 games, Mobley's been grabbing 10.05 rebounds per game, hitting the over on 8.5 rebounds in 14 of those contests. Even most recently over the last 5 games, our man is on the uptick, averaging 11.0 rebounds with 4 of those 5 games going over the 8.5 line. That's what you call finishing strong before the All-Star break.

The matchup versus Philadelphia plays to Mobley’s advantage. The last time these two teams locked horns, Mobley was a rebounding machine , pulling down an incredible 12 boards. If that's not convincing enough, the Sixers are also giving up the third most rebounds to power forwards in the league. It's almost like they're inviting Mobley to a board buffet, and he's ready to feast. 

The numbers don't lie and the stats are shouting from the rooftops. Evan Mobley is a rebounding force that's ready to turn your bet on him into a victory lap. So as the Cavs and Sixers gear up for battle, and you're looking for the smart money move, look no further than Mobley on the glass. When it comes to rebounding, he's not just playing the game, he's changing it. Let’s lock this up and get this DUB!
