Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

And we’re back under .500 again! But congrats to us on what will amount to be a victory today. And back and forth we go. An incredible ping pong rally between me and the gambling gods, my mom’s soul on the line. What can go wrong?

Today’s Pick: PASCAL SIAKAM OVER 7.5 REBOUNDS

Taking this man’s over in rebounds scares the s*** outta me. I’m not gonna lie to you. Hell, last year, my favorite bet was betting his rebounds under. Which is still probably a generally profitable betting strategy this season too; he’s grown wildly unpredictable on the glass since coming to Indiana. With that said, today’s matchup @ Philly couldn’t be a more advantageous spot for him. Philly allows 56+ rebounds at home. Right around top 5 worst marks in the league and specifically, are the third worst at allowing rebounds to the power forward position. In a position-less NBA world, these stats can be a little misleading (and often a nice resource for cherry-picking), but certain players are more defined to a spot than others and Siakam fits that bill here.

Good luck everyone and I’ll see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 21-22 (no thank you Emeka)
