Tyrese Haliburton OVER 17.5 Points

Tonight is NOT the time to fade Tyrese Haliburton. He’s the heart and soul of the Pacers, and if he has a bad night, things aren’t looking great for this squad from Indiana.

Haliburton has scored 18+ points in each of his last two games, and we’re not expecting him to slow down at all tonight. Look for Haliburton to have at least 18 points again tonight, hopefully making this a sweat-free bet by the end of the third quarter. 

Pascal Siakam OVER 10.5 Rebounds & Assists

This RA line feels a bit low for Pascal Siakam, who has been an all-around solid player for the Pacers thus far. He is the yin to Haliburton’s yang, so to speak, an excellent contributor on a nightly basis for this squad.

Siakam has been a fantastic scorer, putting up 20+ points twice in the series, but he’s also provided valuable assists and rebounds. 11 combined rebounds and assists shouldn’t be difficult to achieve in this one, so we’re taking the over in this category as well. The Thunder haven’t had an answer for him to this point, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 

Alex Caruso OVER 10.5 Points

It’s a night of overs, as we’re also confident in Alex Caruso’s point total. Caruso isn’t typically a starter for the Thunder, but he is a meaningful player for them off the bench.

He’s averaging nearly 30 minutes per game this series, and is scoring nearly 15 points per game, making his limited time pay off. Caruso has been money from beyond the arc, and if he gets a few opportunities, there’s no reason to believe he won’t have at least 11 points in this one.
