Luke Kennard (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (+100)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers roll into Indiana, all eyes will be on Luke Kennard, but it might be wise to bet against his three-point prowess. Sure, Kennard has hit that 1.5 mark a remarkable 7 of his last 8 games, but those numbers are buoyed by home cooking. On the road, he averages just 1 three-pointer, and against the Pacers, that number drops to a mere 1. In his last five away games, he's only managed to exceed the mark once. The Pacers defend the perimeter well, and with Kennard's recent 1.33 expected value, the under looks appealing. The odds are tilted in our favor with a model edge suggesting a solid probability for his output to fall short. As the Lakers seek to maintain pace in a competitive West, don't be surprised if Kennard's shot chart reflects a quieter night in Indiana.

Jay Huff (Indiana Pacers) Under 3.5 Rebounds (+152)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When assessing Jay Huff's rebounding performance against the Los Angeles Lakers, the evidence points strongly towards an "Under" bet on his total of 3.5 boards. Despite Huff's commendable efforts, he's averaged just 2.4 rebounds over his last five games, and even at home, he's only managed 3.2. In fact, his numbers dip against the Lakers, where he's pulled down an average of just 1.5 boards in their last few encounters on his home court.With the Pacers facing off against a Lakers team known for their size and rebounding prowess, it's tough to see Huff elevating to that 4-rebound mark. Moreover, his overall hit rate is solid at 4 of 5, but that's buoyed by a couple of outliers. Given the circumstances and his recent performances, targeting the under feels like the prudent play here.

Jaxson Hayes (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 6.5 Rebounds (-278)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Lakers roll into Indiana, keep an eye on Jaxson Hayes' rebounding numbers, particularly as he's likely to fall short of that 6.5 threshold. His recent form shows he's averaging just 3.6 rebounds over the last five games, and when we zoom in on his away performances, he's consistently pulling down just about 3. Facing the Pacers, who typically present a tough matchup, Hayes has averaged just 3 rebounds away against them recently. With the odds heavily favoring the under, it's clear that the numbers are not just a coincidence; Hayes has hit this under in 15 of his last 17 games on the road. Expect him to struggle tonight, especially with the Pacers' physical presence in the paint. It feels like a solid play to bet on Hayes finishing under that 6.5 mark.
