The Pacers and Thunder begin the NBA Finals on Thursday and on DraftKings Sportsbook, there is a huge amount of betting markets to consider for this series. Under the “Finals Specials” tab, you will find a plethora of specific series prop bets for each player. Below, I have featured one of my favorite series prop bets for the NBA Finals on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Myles Turner to record 1+ threes made in each NBA Finals game (+120)
Turner hitting a three pointer in every game of this series is absolutely a strong possibility. The big man is arguably the best three point shooting center in the NBA. This season, Turner is averaging 2.1 made three pointers on 5.2 attempts per game, resulting in a 40% from beyond the arc.
Turner has maintained this 40% on three pointers in the postseason and he is averaging 1.6 made three pointers on 3.9 attempts per game. Turner is logging 30.3 minutes per game and handling a 19.5% usage rate during these playoffs, and he has hit a three pointer in all but one the Pacers’ 16 games in their run to the NBA Finals.
Next up for the Pacers is the Thunder, who lead the NBA in defensive rating by a solid margin. Oklahoma City ranks fourth in opponent three point percentage this postseason (33.1%), but they are giving up the sixth-most made three pointers at 12.8 per game of the 16 teams that made the playoffs. They are also allowing the fourth-most attempts from deep at 38.7 per game.
In this spot, Turner hitting at least one three pointer in every game feels likely and he is a great bet to accomplish this feat at this +120 price on DraftKings Sportsbook.
