The Pacers are visiting the Thunder for Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are 9.5-point favorites for Game 5 and this contest carries a total of 224.5 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 U 7.5 Rebounds (-140)

Siakam is an excellent bet for under 7.5 rebounds Monday. The forward posted eight rebounds in Friday’s Game 4, but this is only the fifth time Siakam has exceeded 7.5 rebounds in his 20 starts this postseason. During these playoffs, the veteran is only averaging 6.4 rebounds on 11.1 rebound chances per game.

After blowing a late lead in Game 4, the Pacers are a 9.5-point road underdog for Monday’s pivotal Game in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 9-2 with a massive 26.5-point margin of victory at home this postseason and there is a real chance that Oklahoma City runs away with an easy win in Game 5, which would likely result in less playing for Siakam. The ex-Raptor is only averaging 6.5 rebounds per game in losses this season and Siakam falling short of 7.5 rebounds in Game 5 is very likely.
