The Pacers are visiting the Thunder for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by 10 points and this contest carries a total of 230 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Andrew Nembhard prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Andrew Nembhard Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Andrew Nembhard O 4.5 Assists (-120)

Nembhard has been the Pacers’ second-best playmaker this postseason behind only Tyrese Haliburton. Nembhard is averaging 5.1 assists in his 33.2 minutes per game, recording five or more dimes in nine of his 16 starts. The 25-year-old has made the most of his 8.6 potential assists per game these playoffs, posting a 13-assist showing in Game 2 of the second round against the Cavaliers.

Plus, Nembhard was great against the Thunder’s league-best defense in the regular season. Indiana faced Oklahoma City twice in the regular season and Nembhard finished with seven assists in each contest. In these two tilts, the guard averaged a team-high 15.5 potential assists per game. 4.5 assists is simply too low of a line for Nembhard and he is an excellent bet for over this number in Thursday’s Game 1.
