Bet the over on Josh Hart's 8.5 rebounds as the Knicks clash with the Rockets—his numbers scream glass-cleaning domination.

When it comes to rebounds, Josh Hart has been vacuuming the boards like a Dyson on steroids, especially in his recent outings. The Knicks swingman is not just a role player—he's the guy who turns missed shots into second chances and swats away opposing dreams one board at a time.

Let's break down the digits that matter. Overall, Hart's nabbing 7.08 rebounds per game this season, which is respectable. But don't let that stat fool you into thinking he's just another average Joe on the glass. On the road, where the Knicks are headed to face the Houston Rockets, he's scooping up 6.5 rebounds per game. Not bad, but it's his recent surge that's turning heads and making bettors double-take that over line.

In the Knicks' last 20 games, Hart's been gobbling up 8.9 rebounds a game. That's a solid uptick from his overall average. But wait, there's more. Over the last 10 games, the man's been an absolute rebounding fiend, hauling in 9.6 per game. And if you think that's hot, over the last 5 games, he's been a walking double-double threat, snatching 10.6 rebounds per contest.

Let's not forget the cherry on top: when Hart last faced the Rockets, he snagged 14 rebounds. You read that right—14. That's not just beating the over; that's treating the line like a speed bump on the way to Rebound City.

What's even more compelling is the trend. Hart is not just hitting the over; he's smashing it with the force of a sledgehammer. He's had more than 8.5 rebounds in 8 of his last 10 games and in all of the last 5. The dude's rebounding numbers aren't just climbing—they're scaling the Empire State Building.

Now, let's talk about the matchup. The Rockets aren't exactly the '86 Celtics on the boards. They're giving up rebounds like it's a clearance sale, and Hart is poised to cash in. With his instincts, hustle, and nose for the ball, Hart is set to exploit Houston's weaknesses and keep his rebounding rampage rolling.

So, what's the play here? It's as clear as a pristine hardwood court before game time. You see that line at 8.5 rebounds for Josh Hart? You bet the over. With the way he's been playing, and especially considering his dominance in their previous face-off, it's not just a good bet—it's a rebounding revelation waiting to happen.

Don't miss out on the action when the Knicks take the court against the Rockets. Watch as Josh Hart turns the paint into his own personal playground, one rebound at a time. And when he does, remember where you heard it first. Bet the over, and get ready to collect.
