Look for Rick Carlisle to target Brunson&#8217;s defense with Nembhard in isolation and pick &amp; roll sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nembhard has taken advantage of the opposition focusing on Haliburton, Turner &amp; Siakam as 46% of his field goals have been deemed wide-open during the postseason and we should expect the same during this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert NBA Player Props for Wednesday: Pascal Siakam, Pacers OVER 6.5 Rebounds (-132)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pascal Siakam has only cleared this line in 4 of his 10 postseason games but he is coming off an 8-rebound effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers and he will see some great rebound chances with Karl Anthony-Towns playing the five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power forwards have thrived on the glass against the Knicks as Harris logged 6, 13, 6, 8, 8 &amp; 5 rebounds and Jayson Tatum logged 16, 14, 9 &amp; 8 rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OG Anunoby is mostly utilized as a spot-up shooter, Siakam should be his primary defender and that will allow him to grab some easy boards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siakam only covered this number in 1\/3 head-to-head games against New York this season with 5, 8 and 5 rebounds but one of those misses was due to him playing only 23 minutes in a 25-point blowout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should see a competitive game tonight with a spread set at -4.5 and Siakam has been aggressive on the glass in Game 1&#8217;s with 7 &amp; 8 rebounds this season and 7+ rebounds in 2\/3 games last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GoldSheet Top Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need an extra hand breaking down today&#8217;s basketball slate?
