Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Pacers and Thunder will be in Indiana on Friday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are six-point favorites and this contest carries a total of 225.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Pascal Siakam prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Pascal Siakam Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Pascal Siakam Under 19.5 Points (-115)
Siakam scored 21 points in the Pacers’ Game 3 win over the Thunder, but we shouldn’t be chasing this performance. The forward has fallen short of 19.5 points in 10 of his 19 starts this postseason and Oklahoma City has given Siakam problems at times this season. The Thunder lead the NBA in defensive rating by a solid margin and Siakam is averaging 17.6 PPG in his five matchups with Oklahoma City. The forward has stayed under 19.5 points in three of these five games and the Thunder are giving up the fifth-fewest points to power forwards in the NBA.
The other narrative here is that the Thunder are a league-best 18-2 after a loss this season and Oklahoma City has a great chance to even this series up at two wins apiece in Game 4. The Pacers are a six-point underdog for this contest, which doesn’t bode well for Siakam. Indiana has lost five games during these playoffs and the veteran has stayed under 19.5 points in four of these five defeats. As always when coming off a loss, the Thunder should have a strong game plan for Game 4 and part of the team’s strategy will certainly be to slow down Siakam. In this situation, the 31-year-old is a great bet for under 19.5 points.
