Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard has been known as the game’s best rebounder for some time. Howard again led the league in rebounding during the 2012-20-13 season, averaging 12.4 boards per game for the Los Angeles Lakers. Howard, who was the prize of free agency this summer, signed with the Rockets. Bovada.lv has made Howard a big favorite to win the rebounding title again this season, giving him 1/1 odds.

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Kevin Love was injured for a big chunk of last season, but was second in the league in rebounding in the 2011-12 season, averaging 13.3 per game. He has the second-best odds at 3/2.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic, who was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers when the Magic sent Howard to Los Angeles, is third with 19/2 odds. Vucevic finished second in the league last year, averaging 11.9 rebounds per game.

Anderson Varejao (16/1) of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Zach Randolph (20/1) of the Memphis Grizzlies complete the top five.
