The Indiana Pacers were unable to eliminate the New York Knicks on Thursday night, but they try again in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday. After coming up short, the team certainly looks to end this series in six and avoid an elimination game of their own in a potential Game 7.
Here’s the top Pascal Siakam prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Pacers vs. Knicks Game 6 on Saturday night.
Best Pascal Siakam prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Pacers come into this home contest as four-point favorites with -105 odds to cover and -175 odds to win on the Moneyline. The Knicks hold +145 odds to win outright while the game total sits at 219 points, down a couple of notches from the last two contests.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Siakam’s prop lines at 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 29.5.
Siakam, a three-time All-Star, averages 20.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per outing. In his most recent outing, he tallied 15 points, six boards, and five assists… meaning my last pick of over 2.5 dimes did indeed hit.
With that in mind, walk with me again as I make a selection for tonight’s contest. Under 20.5 points doesn’t look like a bad pick at -125 odds, even despite how underrated Siakam’s talents are. He’s gone under this line in eight of 15 playoff games, and while he’s had three outings of 28 or more points, he’s typically not scoring more than 24 or 25 on a given night.
Of the seven games in which Siakam exceeded 20.5 points, he scored exactly 21 in two of those contests. His history could very easily read under in 10 of 15 if just a couple of shots don’t bounce his way. Interestingly enough, Siakam actually leads the team in field goal attempts, but his 15 a game are fewer than the typical star takes, too. Since he flirts with this 20.5-point line in most games but has missed it more often than not, I’m comfortable taking it in Game 6 here.
