Best Pacers vs. Cavaliers Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Andrew Nembhard O 21.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Nembhard is in the midst of an excellent postseason and is a strong bet for over 21.5 PRA on Sunday. In the Pacers’ eight games during these playoffs, the guard is averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game, and he has surpassed 21.5 PRA in six of these eight contests. Nembhard’s shooting has been outstanding, with him shooting 49% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc, and he is handling a hefty workload, with the guard averaging 32.5 minutes per game and a 19.5% usage rate.
Nembhard is leading the Pacers in plus/minus this postseason and this 21.5 PRA line is just too low for the thriving guard.
Max Strus U 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (-115)
With the Cavaliers at full strength, with both Evan Mobley (ankle) and Darius Garland (toe) off the injury report, Strus is a great bet for under 2.5 made three-pointers. In the 34 games this season Strus has played alongside Cleveland’s big three of Donovan Mitchell, Mobley and Garland, Strus is averaging only 2.2 made three-pointers per game with a low 14.1% usage rate.
The Pacers are strong at defending the perimeter, limiting their opponents to the eighth-lowest three-point percentage in the NBA this season and Strus should come back down to earth in Game 4 after hitting four three-pointers in Game 3.
Myles Turner O 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-160)
The 1.5 made three-pointers is simply too low of a line for Turner and he is a stellar bet for this over. The center is averaging 2.1 made three-pointers on 5.4 attempts per game this season, which results in a 40% three-point percentage. Game 4 on Sunday will be in Indiana and Turner has always been a more productive scorer on his home floor throughout his career.
Turner has 3+ three-pointers in five of his last 10 home starts and he is a safe investment for multiple three-pointers in this crucial tilt.
