Look of the Day for Wednesday, Nov. 22: Beam us up, Scottie

We're 2-0 in our Look of the Day series to start the week thanks to Myles Turner going under his points prop on Tuesday night. Let's stay hot and keep the momentum rolling with another NBA prop bet for Wednesday night's slate. 

Look of the Day: Scottie Barnes over 12.5 rebounds + assists (-135 DraftKings)

Player prop overs in Indiana Pacers games have been money all season. The Pacers are playing at the fastest pace in the NBA, and they're giving up the most points per game (125.9) of any team in the league.

Due to the lightning-fast pace Indiana plays with, there are inherently more opportunities for opposing players to rack up rebounds and assists. If anyone on the Toronto Raptors can take advantage of that Wednesday night, it's Scottie Barnes.

Barnes is averaging 8.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this season. He ranks second on the Raptors in rebound chances per game (13.3) and potential assists per game (10.0), and those numbers will likely be higher in this matchup against a soft Pacers defense on the second night of a back-to-back. 

Barnes is already averaging more than 12.5 rebounds and assists per game this year, and this might be the best possible matchup in that regard.
