I wanted to analyze a prop bet I can make,

Shaq vs Dirk Rebounds. Currently its +6.5 for +100 for Shaq or -6.5 for -130 for Dirk...how would I go about analyzing this properly?

Have you estimated how many rebounds each will get in this game?

No actually I wasn't planning on playing this prop, as I've never played a prop before...I was just trying to figure out the proper way to estimate them...Do you just use seasonal averages for the players to make your estimate? If that's the case, the bet looks way too easy with the Shaq +6.5. Just trying to learn, I am a complete novice at this

you might want to consider how many rebounds the opposing team gives up, and compare that to the avg competition the 1st team played.
