I was waiting on the Pacers to update their injury report before playing any props on their side. Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) was questionable, but is now out. Pascal Siakam is also not yet cleared to make his debut. To compound matters for the Pacers, Aaron Nesmith (shins) is also out. Buddy Hield has seen his playing time decline this season, but he could play a lot in this matchup with so many of his teammates out. Both the Pacers and the Kings rank inside the top-11 in the league in pace of play, so added playing time and shot attempts for Hield make the over the way to go.

Sabonis is coming off a triple double against the Suns on Tuesday, and the former Gonzaga star leads the NBA in rebounding (12.7 per game). I expect human nature to kick in on this one with Sabonis posting huge numbers in a sort of 'revenge' game against his former team. I expect his stat line to look something like 26-12-8 on Thursday.
