The Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers headline a day full of NBA Cup action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Thunder are a strong defensive team but can struggle to rebound. That’s why I am taking LeBron James to go over his rebound prop. I’m also interested in a pick on Isaiah Hartenstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Thunder vs. Lakers prop picks for Nov. 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunder vs. Lakers prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: LeBron over 7.5 rebounds (-138)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the Thunder are such a good defensive team (No. 1 in defensive rating), I would rather resort to a rebounds prop than a points prop for LeBron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, LeBron is one of only a few Lakers who can rebound efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles grabs the third-fewest rebounds per game (40.1), but that hasn’t been James’ fault. He’s cleared this line in seven of the last 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, OKC isn’t a great rebounding team either, recording the 10th-fewest per game (42.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams play at a high pace, which means there should be plenty of opportunities for LeBron to rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> James is averaging 9.3 boards in his past 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hartenstein over 10.5 <\/strong>rebounds (-118):<\/strong> This is a play for the hardcore ball fans, but I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartenstein showed what he could for the Knicks in the playoffs last season and now steps into a starting role for the West’s best team while Chet Holmgren is sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at his stats since making his season debut last week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Nov. 20 vs. Trailblazers<\/strong>: 28 minutes, 14 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Nov. 25 vs. Kings:<\/strong> 31 minutes, 10 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Nov. 27 vs. Warriors:<\/strong> 30 minutes, 14 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The Thunder will continue to lean on Hartenstein until Holmgren returns and I can’t say I blame them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Fans may remember the lineup OKC used before Hartenstein was available, which included five starters below the height of 6-foot-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        And as mentioned before, the Lakers struggle to rebound. They allow the third-most boards per game (16.8) to opposing centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Hartenstein is the only true big on the Thunder right now and I believe he can compete with Anthony Davis around the basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
