This is a 4* play on Lively II over 14.5 Pts/Reb.
The injury to Maxi Kleber should lead to an increase in minutes for Lively II. He was second on the team in rebounding. and his numbers were up from his season averages in the series versus the Clippers. The Thunder present a favorable matchup as only Charlotte and Washington ranked worse on the boards than the Thunder during the regular season. The Thunder were out-rebounded in three of the four games versus New Orleans, and the Pelicans center Valancunias cleaned up on the boards despite playing limited minutes.
