We got back on track with a Look of the Day cash on Tyrese Haliburton's assist prop on Tuesday night, and we're hunting for back-to-back winners in the NBA playoffs. Let's target another NBA player prop for Wednesday night's playoff slate.
Pelicans vs. Thunder, 9:30 p.m. ET
The New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder played a close, highly competitive game to kick off their first-round series, and we learned a lot about both teams in the process. One glaring lesson we learned in Game 1 is that the Thunder have no answer for Jonas Valancuinas on the glass.
The Pelicans center grabbed 20 rebounds on a ridiculous 27 rebound chances on Sunday night. He dominated the undersized Oklahoma City frontcourt all night, which wasn't a surprise. The Thunder rank 28th in the NBA in rebound rate and 29th in opponent offensive rebounding rate this season.
Without Zion Williamson on the court, Valanciunas's main job is to sit in the paint and crash the glass on both ends of the floor. He's snagged 32 rebounds in two games since Williamson went down with a hamstring injury against the Los Angeles Lakers, and he should continue to rack up the boards in Game 2.
