NBA Best Bets: Top Jarrett Allen player props for Cavaliers vs. Pacers Game 2

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the 2025 NBA Playoffs as the top team in the Eastern Conference and easily swept the Miami Heat out of the first round. The Cavs may have grown too confident though, as they came into the Conference Semifinals and dropped Game 1 to the Indiana Pacers in surprising fashion. Now possibly shorthanded for Game 2 with Darius Garland and Evan Mobley questionable to play, Jarrett Allen needs to step up his play tonight to help keep his team in this series.

Here’s the top Jarrett Allen prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Cavaliers vs. Pacers Game 2 on Tuesday night.

Best Jarrett Allen prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Sportsbook lists Allen’s prop lines on at 14.5 points and 11.5 rebounds. His combined PTS + REB line sits at 26.5, while the Cavaliers big man is -205 to record his 44th double-double of the season.

The Cavaliers are a 7.5-point favorite at -305 on the Moneyline to win outright. The game total sits at 229 combined points, one of the highest marks of the postseason so far. Defense may tighten up and fouls are harder to come by, but neither of these teams have any problems putting the ball in the basket.

Allen has played five games so far this postseason, averaging 13.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per contest. He’s shooting a very impressive 79.4% from the field on his limited volume, but he absolutely needs to do more if Evan Mobley misses tonight’s matchup.

While Mobley’s status makes Allen’s lines more difficult to bet, this is the playoffs and it would be a bit shocking if the reigning Defensive Player of the Year doesn’t suit up in this one. Still, targeting Allen’s rebounding prop looks like the way to go tonight. In five games against the Pacers so far this season, the center hasn’t eclipsed the 11.5-board mark even once. Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner clearly give Allen some issues on the boards, so backing the under on his rebounds prop seems prudent at -105 odds.
