The Boston Celtics will be visiting the Los Angeles Lakers in a clash between a couple of the most decorated teams in the league. The Celtics look capable of adding more accolades this season as they currently lead the Eastern Conference. The Lakers, on the other hand, will be hoping a win gets them closer to the playoff picture in the west.

Joel Embiid over 10.5 rebounds (+100)
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid comes into tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings having recorded 11 or more rebounds in 3 of the 4 games in December so far. He currently averages 10.3 rebounds per game and should be able to exceed that with a favorable matchup here. While Domantas Sabonis is a great rebounder for the Kings, he is undersized for a center. With Embiid towering over him, he should have the upper hand in grabbing rebounds tonight. Despite Sabonis being a good passer from the top of the post, he is not an efficient shooter. That should allow the 76ers superstar to maintain great rebounding position throughout the night, not having to stray far from the paint. Therefore look for him to exceed his home rebounding average.
