Happy Tuesday to all! We are ready for another night of NBA action, as two games are on the slate tonight. While the matchup between Denver and Oklahoma City should be exciting, we’re focusing on the contest between the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, hoping to channel all our player prop knowledge into one game.
The sportsbooks have us covered with a slew of props, and after going a disappointing 1-2 on our picks last night, we’re hoping to sweep the board this evening. Let’s get into our top picks!
Myles Turner OVER 14.5 Points
Myles Turner has been on a tear over the past three games. After struggling to put up points in Game 1, he’s had at least 15 points in each contest since, including a 23-point outing in Game 2.
The Cavaliers haven’t had an answer for him in the paint to this point, and we don’t think tonight is the night that they’re going to stop him, especially since the Pacers need just one win to close out the series. Look for Turner to have another great night in the scoring column, putting up at least 15 points by the time the final buzzer sounds.
Darius Garland OVER 18.5 Points
Donovan Mitchell is highly questionable heading into this game, which could be a great opportunity for Darius Garland to step up in a must-win game. Mitchell has taken on a bulk of the scoring for the Cavs throughout the postseason.
However, if he’s out or even limited, they will need to turn to someone else. Garland has been that person for them in the past, and could provide that for them tonight, which is why we’re taking the over on his point total.
Tyrese Haliburton UNDER 9.5 Assists
Despite being one of the best distributors in the league during the regular season, Tyrese Haliburton’s assist numbers have taken a major dip over the past few games. He hasn’t logged more than five since Game 1, as this team has taken a slightly different approach against the Cavaliers.
It’s working for them, and Haliburton has been scoring a lot more than people expected heading into the series, so we are riding the wave. We’re taking the under on his assist total until further notice, which includes tonight’s game.
