VJ Edgecombe has made an impressive start to the season on the boards, making his over 6.5 rebounds selection an interesting option against Charlotte. The Philadelphia rookie is currently averaging 7.8 rebounds per game, comfortably above the betting line.
His recent game log is particularly encouraging. Edgecombe has collected 8 rebounds against New York, 7 against Indiana, 13 against Milwaukee and another 7 against Cleveland. That means he has surpassed 6.5 rebounds in four of his first five games.
Playing time is another important factor. Edgecombe is averaging 32.6 minutes per game, giving him plenty of opportunities to contribute on the glass. His ability to collect defensive rebounds while also competing for offensive boards makes him valuable in this market.
The matchup against Charlotte offers another opportunity for Edgecombe to continue his strong rebounding form. If he maintains his usual minutes and activity around the basket, reaching at least seven rebounds looks realistic.
