NBA Props Picks for Tuesday: Rui Hachimura Los Angeles Lakers OVER 12.5 Points (-104)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luka Doncic remains on the shelf due to an injury and Rui Hachimura has cleared this line in 8\/11 games (73%) without him but with Austin Reaveson the court while landing on 12 exactly in all three games where he fell short. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes two games in his last series against the Houston Rockets where he scored 21 & 12 points while benefiting from the extra attention paid to Lebron James and Reaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oklahoma City Thunder rank 27th in spot up defense and that area accounts for close to 44% of Hachimura’s scoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hachimura scored 15, 4, 12 and 13 points in four head-to-head games against the Thunder this season and he only played 18 minutes in the 4-point effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking for much more court time tonight as Ayton played 35+ minutes in 5\/6 games against Houston.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA Props Picks for Tuesday: DeAndre Ayton Los Angeles Lakers OVER 7.5 Rebounds (-130)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DeAndre Ayton started off slow in the last series against the Houston Rockets, but he stepped in the final three games with 16, 17 and 10 rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luka Doncic remains on the shelf due to an injury and Ayton averaged 9 rebounds per game without him on the court compared an average of 7.9 per game in games where Doncic played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oklahoma City Thunder are a smaller team and Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro managed to grab 8+ rebounds in 3\/4 despite being a much more limited rebounder than Ayton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayton played two games against the Thunder without Doncic on the court during the regular season and he logged 10 & 3 rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lakers center only played 23 minutes in the 3 rebound effort while logging only 8 rebound chances and he should see more minutes & volume tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
