Throwing half a unit on this. OKC top ranked defense but do allow a ton of rebounds, but that’s not KCP’s game anyway. KCP down to a 12% usage rate this season and OKC allows 4th fewest assists and lowest 3P% in league. This is more a system play than a projections or trends play.

-OKC has allowed the MOST Offensive Rebounds this season. This has improved slightly since Hartenstein’s return (3rd Worst L10 Games) but they’re still not great -Here’s how Bitadze has done vs the Bottom 16 OReb teams in the NBA: vs LAL (9th most) - 15 Rebounds vs MIL (16th most) - 14 Rebounds vs IND (12th most) - 12 Rebounds x2 vs NOP (7th most) - 9 Rebounds vs OKC (1st most) - 9 Rebounds -Bitadze has been an elite rebounder this season, especially on the O Boards avg 3.8 Offensive Rebounds L8 Games. With Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero still Out he should see solid minutes here -In 3 Games since Franz’ injury, Bitadze has avg 31.3 Minutes, 13.67 Rebounds, and 18.67 Rebound Chances -9+ Rebounds in 11/14 Games with 22+ Minutes (5/6 @ Home). With OKC just losing in the NBA Cup and having to travel to Orlando, this could be a let down spot for them as well, especially since Orlando is on 3 Days Rest and has a 9-1 Record at Home this season. Hopefully they continue to shoot poorly for more rebound chances
