Tonight, he runs into an L.A. Lakers lineup missing key bodies on the boards. LeBron James and Deandre Ayton exited last night’s loss at Denver, and their status is in doubt. That’s almost 14 rebounds off the box score for L.A. 

Siakam has snatched six or more rebounds in 15 of his last 20 games while positioned for an average of 10.9 rebounding chances in that span. Projections range from 5.8 to 6.6 boards for the Indiana Pacers’ forward.

The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the 10th-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games.. Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and spark bonus opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Lakers grade out 1stworst in in the NBA with only 8.6 offensive boards per game over the last 25 games.

Chet Holmgren has been on a tear, and with Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined, I expect him to continue his strong play against a depleted Warriors frontcourt at home. Holmgren has averaged 27.9 points+rebounds in 24 games without Hartenstein, hitting the Over on this line 13 times. 

Over his last six games, Holmgren has averaged 16.3 points and 12.2 rebounds, averaging 16 points and 18 boards in his last two home games. He’s reached the Over in four of his last five home games and delivered 28+ points+rebounds in all three matchups with Golden State.
