Despite falling last time out, the Indiana Pacers once again look to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in over two decades. Tonight, they host the New York Knicks for Game 6 of this Eastern Conference Finals matchup.
Can Tyrese Haliburton muster another Herculean effort to send his team to the championship? Here’s the top prop bets for the star point guard on DraftKings Sportsbook for Pacers vs. Knicks Game 6 tonight.
Best Tyrese Haliburton prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Pacers enter Saturday’s contest as four-point favorites and -185 favorites to win on the Moneyline, a line which shifted a little heavier in their favor since last night. The Knicks are listed at +154 on the Moneyline with a game total of 221.5 combined points.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Haliburton’s prop lines at 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 36.5.
In 15 postseason games, Haliburton averages 18.4 points and 9.5 assists per contest, nearly a double-double. After a gargantuan triple-double in Game 4, he came crashing back down with just eight points and six assists in Game 5. The more concerning part is that he took just seven shots in that contest. Whether it was a product of the Knicks’ defense or his own tendency to defer more often than not remains to be seen.
Still, Hali should fire back in tonight’s contest. The Pacers don’t want this series to go to seven games, which looks like a nightmare against a gritty New York squad. With that said, I fully expect him to try and come out aggressively in this matchup and try and eliminate his opponent single-handedly.
Over 20.5 points feels like a natural pick at -120 odds on DKSB, and since Haliburton’s three-pointer line is a bit low at 2.5 made attempts, an alt line of 4+ made threes also holds appeal at +135 odds. Indiana should keep this competitive as they look to close the series out in front of the home crowd, so watch for them to be energized at their own place and end the series behind a strong Haliburton performance.
