Look of the Day for Friday, Dec. 8: Big night ahead for Pascal Siakam 

Buddy Hield couldn't cash us out on Wednesday night, as the Indiana Pacers shooting guard went 3-for-11 from the field and 0-for-6 from three to go under his points total. We're now 2-2 this week in Look of the Day with one more chance to churn out a profitable week.

Let's hope we avoid another off shooting night with our favorite NBA prop bet for Friday's loaded slate. 

Look of the Day: Pascal Siakam over 30.5 points + rebounds (-115 FanDuel)

Pascal Siakam is in line for a huge statistical performance on Friday night.

The Charlotte Hornets are the worst defensive team in the NBA against power forwards. Charlotte ranks dead last in the league in points allowed to power forwards and 28th in rebounds allowed to PFs. The Hornets gave up 28 points and seven rebounds to Karl-Anthony Towns two games ago, and Julius Randle torched them for 25 and 20 two games before that.

Siakam has had his way with Charlotte's defense over the last few seasons, too. The Toronto Raptors PF has averaged 25.3 points and 8.4 rebounds against the Hornets over his last seven games against them, and he went over this PR prop six times in that span. The only time he didn't clear this number he played only 27 minutes in a blowout loss. 

Siakam isn't scoring as much this season as he has in the past, but he dropped 30 points on only 13 shot attempts in his last start against the Miami Heat. He should have plenty of opportunities to fill up the stat sheet in a great matchup.
