The Indiana Pacers play host to the Los Angeles Lakers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Friday, and we make our Lakers vs. Pacers player props prediction based on the best NBA odds.

It wasn't long ago that the Los Angeles Lakers (41-32) faced the Indiana Pacers (41-33), as they scored a thrilling 150-145 win at home on Sunday. They'll hit the road for a rematch on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

Anthony Davis and Pascal Siakam scored 36 points each in that game, while four others knocked down at least 20. Will Friday's game feature another offensive explosion from both teams as they try to improve their respective Play-In Tournament odds?

And, if it does, which players are most likely to go over their totals? Below, we take a look at our picks for Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Davis, and Pascal Siakam.

Here are our best Lakers vs. Pacers player props prediction and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Lakers vs. Pacers predictions

Anthony Davis Over 25.5 points (-120 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

After back-to-back 30-point games, Davis is questionable for Friday's rematch against the Pacers. If he plays, then there is no reason to fade him.

The Pacers allow the second-most points per game. Davis is averaging 24.7 points per game, and nothing has changed between Sunday and Friday to suggest that he won’t be able to score over his season average against the Pacers again.

Make sure you shop around for this prop. FanDuel currently has the total set at 26.5 with a price of -118. Since those odds are barely better than what DraftKings is offering, take the lower point total for a slightly worse price. DraftKings is the best place to play right now, as some of our best sports betting sites have the odds on the Over as low as -140.

Pascal Siakam Over 3.5 assists (-104 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐

In Sunday’s loss, Siakam recorded just two assists. But he also attempted a season-high 29 shots in that game, so he didn’t have many assist opportunities. Friday, he will most likely attempt fewer shots, which should result in him assisting his teammates more.

Siakam is averaging 4.5 assists per game this season, and he just recorded five during the Pacers’ loss to the Chicago Bulls. This month, he’s averaging just 3.3 assists per game, down from 4.3 last month, but in a high-scoring game against the team allowing the fourth-most assists per game, Siakam is worth a play at the right price.

At the moment, Caesars is offering the best price at -104. However, several of our best sports betting apps have the price listed at -105, so be sure to shop around before deciding where to wager, as lines may change and become more favorable at different sportsbooks.

Tyrese Haliburton Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (-105 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

On Sunday, Haliburton scored just 12 points, despite the Pacers scoring 145. Because of that, there is a legitimate reason to be concerned about him on Friday. However, seeing this Lakers defense twice in a week will help Haliburton from deep.

The Lakers still rank 21st in the league in 3-point percentage allowed. They’re also allowing the third-most points off 3-pointers this season. Though Haliburton has been very up-and-down throughout March, he is averaging 7.3 three-point attempts per game.

The price for this prop ranges from -105 to -113. With this game being played in Indiana, the price should be closer to -115. So to get this at -105 provides great value.
