Chet Holmgren pulled down 10 boards in each of his final two regular-season meetings with the Lakers. In one of those he only played 22 minutes. With LA expected to struggle offensively in Game 1, I like Holmgren to control the glass and grab at least nine boards. I would also go Over 9.5 at plus money.

If the Lakers have any chance in game one they are going to need Austin Reaves to play at a high level. During the three meetings Reaves played against the Thunder in the regular season his points scored ranged from 13 to 16 points. Reaves will have to carry a bigger burden without Luka, and I do believe with the Thunder having a big lead will lead to less intensity on the defensive side of the floor. We saw this several games in round one against Phoenix where Dillon Brooks flourished in second halves. Look for Reaves to benefit and clear his points prop.
