He is soooo duuuuuue for a double digit rebound game. His recent stat lines have been pretty pathetic and his performance, or lack thereof, is directly correlated to a disappointing 2-2 homestand with bad double digit losses to Toronto and Houston. In both games the Cavs were beaten badly on the boards. The Pacers are using Tyrese Halliburton's injury and Myles Turner's departure as a perfect way to develop players but tank in terms of actual record to get even more talent in the draft. I think the Cavs will be motivated to dominate a team that shocked them in the playoffs last season even if their key players aren't there.

The Pacers basically decided to punt on their center position after Myles Turner left in free agency. They are trying to cobble together the position with the likes of Isaiah Jackson, Tony Bradley Jr. and Jay Huff. With those three underwhelming options in the fold, the Pacers have given up the fourth-most rebounds per game in the league. In their last game, they gave up 21 rebounds to the duo of Ryan Kalkbrenner and Moussa Diabate. Evan Mobley, who is averaging 8.6 rebounds for the season, comes with plenty of upside on the boards.
