Analysis

Austin Reaves Points Prop is currently Over/Under 6.5 (-108/-112).

The money has been on the Under as it opened 9.5 @ -114 before it was bet down to 6.5 @ -112.

Key Factors

Favors Over

The Los Angeles Lakers have played at the fastest pace in the league over the last 5 games.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been the 6th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create additional chances for scoring and assists).
Austin Reaves has successfully made a terrific 89.7% of his foul shot attempts this season, a big improvement over his 81.9 mark last season.
Austin Reaves will have the home court advantage in this game. Playing at home generally boosts player performance across the board.

Favors Under

The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 2nd-lowest scoring offense in the NBA this year as it relates to treys.
The Pelicans have played at the 9th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 15 games, which should lead to decreased possessions for the Lakers.
