Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes should be on Pascal Siakam, particularly for his points and rebounds total. Siakam has been a powerhouse lately, averaging 24.2 points and 5.2 rebounds over his last five games. When he hits the court against the Pacers, he elevates his game even further, dropping an impressive 25.6 points per contest against them. While playing away, his contributions don't dip much; in fact, he's averaged 24.2 points and 6.4 boards against this very opponent in recent matchups. With a solid hit rate-16 out of his last 20 away games-expect Siakam to rise to the occasion. Given his expected stat value of over 30, taking the over on 24.5 points plus rebounds feels not just reasonable, but a smart play as he aims to lead his team in this crucial matchup.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers head into Orlando, keep an eye on Aaron Nesmith to surpass that 15.5 points and rebounds mark. Over the last few games, he's shown a knack for stepping up on the road, averaging nearly 18 points away from home. The Magic's defense has its vulnerabilities, and Nesmith can exploit that, especially given his recent performance against Orlando, where he averaged over 12 points in their last few encounters.

The numbers are in his favor, with an expected stat value of 18.29, hinting he's due for a breakout. With the Pacers in a tight race for playoff positioning, expect Nesmith to elevate his game when it counts. Bet on him going over 15.5 tonight; it's a smart play.
