Deni Avdija (back) is listed as questionable to face the Pacers. He has missed six straight games. In five of those games, Jerami Grant scored at least 21 points. Even if Avdija returns Sunday, Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is out, so Grant should continue to receive added shot attempts. Grant shoots 46.6% from the field and 39.8% from behind the arc at home, and the Pacers have the third-worst defensive rating in the league over their last 10 games. There is a lot working in Grant’s favor for him to reach at least 20 points again.

FanDuel. Pascal Siakam is averaging 24 points per game this season, and has cleared this line in 41/54 games. While the Pacers are thought to be tanking, when Siakam suits up, he plays his full complement of minutes. This is a matchup against the Trail Blazers who rank 28th against transition scoring (Siakam’s primary playtype) and play at the seventh fastest pace. I’d bet this to over 21.5 points.
