Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers will look to take a 3-1 lead in the series on Sunday. Despite dropping Game 3, the Pacers are still in a great position in this series to advance. Hopefully for Indiana, they will head back to Cleveland for Game 5 with a 3-1 lead. To do that, they will need a huge performance from arguably their best player, Tyrese Haliburton.
The Cavaliers are 5.5 points road favorites in this one, with the total set at 231. Below is my favorite prop bet for Haliburton on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s Game 4.
Best Tyrese Haliburton Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyrese Haliburton Over 9.5 Assists (-105)
Haliburton’s prop bet lines are set at 17.5 points, 9.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds. I am going to take his over on assists for Game 4. In the Game 3 loss to Cleveland, Haliburton was hardly involved with four points, five assists and no rebounds. He needs the ball in his hands more for the Pacers to play to their best ability, which is why I think he will make a conscious effort in this one to take over.
Haliburton is best when he’s the facilitator, and I expect him to demand the ball much more on Sunday. He needs to take more than the eight shots he did in Game 3, but also needs to get his teammates involved even more.
Tyrese has double-digit assists in five of Indiana’s eight playoff games this postseason, and it’s no coincidence that Indiana is 4-1 in games where he has 10 assists or more. Haliburton and the Pacers will both benefit from him getting the ball in his hands much more often in Sunday’s matchup.
