With a commanding 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their NBA Playoffs series, the Indiana Pacers head into tonight’s contest looking to shatter some title dreams. While Cleveland battled injuries across the first couple of games, Indiana’s efforts can’t be underestimated as they put the Eastern Conference’s top team on the ropes of elimination.
Here’s the top Pascal Siakam prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Pacers vs. Cavaliers Game 5 on Tuesday evening.
Best Pascal Siakam prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Siakam’s prop lines on DraftKings Sportsbook currently sit at 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line comes in at 26.5 across the three stat categories.
The Pacers enter as 7.5-point underdogs against the spread with +235 odds to win on the Moneyline. With a game total that’s risen to 232, there’s no shortage of scoring anticipated for this matchup.
So far through nine postseason games, Siakam’s averages sit right in line with his prop markets. The forward is posting 18.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. His scoring production in this series doesn’t look impressive at first glance, but he’s making the right play and shooting an astounding 59.6% from the field and 45.5% from three.
Since Siakam’s points line has ticked down from 19.5 as recently as Game 2, I do like him to go over 17.5 points in tonight’s Game 5 matchup at -105 odds. He’s gone over that line in each of his last two games in this series and came just shy of doing it a third time with 17 points in Game 1.
Another top Siakam prop is over 2.5 assists. This line also looks too low given his recent outputs in this stat category. Siakam tallied at least three dimes in every game of this series so far, as well as six of nine total playoff games. Yes, the -160 odds aren’t much to write home about, but they’re a great builder piece for the rest of your betting card tonight.
