    Why it likes it
    • Season average is 9.4 rebounds; L5 average is 8.6.
    • Wilson stayed below 13 rebounds in 5 of her last 6 games; the lone miss was 16.
    • 32.0 regular-season minutes and 17.6% rebound rate support a stable baseline below this threshold.
    • NO on 13+ loses at exactly 13 rebounds; this is not a push at the threshold.

    WNBA Secret SauceUp 26% last 30 days
    Why it likes it
    • Tree path: Wilson IN; Boston probable; Tier 1 Aces versus playoff Fever; B does not fire, but E total routing remains live.
    • Depth branch has three confirmed Aces outs plus Talbot questionable, increasing rotation pressure and opponent scoring paths.
    • Both teams have two rest days and no back-to-back; the travel branch adds fatigue uncertainty but no hard road-team ban.
    • Boston and Clark are only probable, so a late limitation could pull Indiana's scoring below the threshold.

    WNBA Secret SauceUp 26% last 30 days
    Why it likes it
    • Tree path: A'ja Wilson IN; Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark probable; Tier 1 Aces versus playoff-caliber Fever; anchor-out filters B/G do not fire.
    • Depth branch: Las Vegas has NaLyssa Smith, Dana Evans, and Ta'Niya Latson out; Stephanie Talbot remains questionable.
    • Rest/travel branch: both teams have two rest days and no back-to-back; Indiana traveled from its Sept. 29 home game to Las Vegas.
    • Boston and Clark are probable, not confirmed; either restriction materially weakens Indiana's offense.

  1. A'ja Wilson under 10.5 rebounds
    +94%Won

    Taken at −106 on DraftKings

    Why it likes it
    • Poisson fallback estimates 59.4% under; DraftKings implies 51.5%, a 7.9-point model delta.
    • Pinnacle de-vigs to 48.6% under, leaving the soft price above the sharp baseline.
    • Wilson averaged 10.6 rebounds in her last five, but the season-rate/minutes model projects a 9.8-rebound mean.
    • The recent rebound average is above the line, so the model disagrees with a directly contrary short sample.
  2. Kelsey Mitchell under 24.5 points
    +80%Won

    Taken at −125 on DraftKings

    Why it likes it
    • Poisson fallback estimates 64% under; DraftKings implies 55.6%, an 8.4-point model delta.
    • Pinnacle de-vigs to 51.5% under, confirming the retail price is not fully aligned with the model.
    • Mitchell averaged 18.0 points in her last five; recent 29.6 minutes are 8.9% below her 32.5-minute season baseline.
    • Poisson approximation ignores postseason matchup variance and correlated shooting outcomes.

    Why it likes it
    • Recent five-game pace: Indiana 90.64 vs 92.9 regular-season; Las Vegas 89.82 vs 90.4, both slower.
    • Las Vegas is the tempo anchor: its lower recent pace should pull this matchup toward roughly 90.2 possessions.
    • Cross-efficiency read: Indiana offense vs Las Vegas defense ≈97.2; Las Vegas offense vs Indiana defense ≈100.3.
    • Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston are probable, not confirmed; unresolved availability caps this at LEAN.
