Pick #2: Anthony Davis over 12.5 Rebounds (-135)

Anthony Davis has been trending up over the last 10 games and has had more than 12.5 rebounds in 3 of his last 5 games against the Pelicans, making him a great bet for victory against New Orleans. 

The Los Angeles Lakers are going all out this season to make the playoffs, and Anthony Davis is their key to success with LeBron out. 

The Lakers need Davis to put on an A-game performance against the Pelicans, as these two teams are tied with a 33-35 record, and four other Western Conference teams have the same mark. This makes the game a must-win for both teams. 

 In his last 10 games, Davis is averaging 13.6 rebounds and has had more than 12.5 rebounds in 5 games. He has covered this line in 7 of the last 10 without LeBron.

The matchup is great as the Pelicans are allowing the 3rd most Rebounds to Centers over the last 7 games. They really do not have anybody that can matchup with Davis and I expect him to dominate his way to a Lakers win as they push for the play-in.
