The New York Knicks are set to host the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. If you’re looking to build out a same-game parlay (SGP) of NBA player props for the Eastern Conference Finals rematch, DraftKings has you covered. Using the NBA Player Props Trends Tracker, we weighed averages, matchup grades, home/road splits and recent patterns to make a four-leg parlay you can tail ahead of Pacers vs. Knicks.
Best OG Anunoby player prop for Pacers vs. Knicks
Pick: OG Anunoby O 15.5 points (-126)
On the whole this season, OG Anunoby is averaging 16.6 points per game. He has cleared 15.5 points in 59% of his appearances overall, including each of his last five and 13 of his last 20. Anunoby dropped 16 the last time he faced Indiana back on December 18, despite shooting 38.5% from the field, 28.6% from deep and 57.1% from the line.
The Pacers present Anunoby with a B-plus season matchup grade, per DraftKings. He has gone over 15.5 points in nine of his 12 games against B-plus matchups or easier. Anunoby has also scored more than 15.5 points at a 63% clip at home, compared to his 53% rate on the road, so the MSG atmosphere is on his side as well.
Just keep an eye out for Anunoby’s injury status as tip-off approaches, since he already missed New York’s last two games with a toe injury.
Best Andrew Nembhard player prop for Pacers vs. Knicks
Pick: Andrew Nembhard O 6.5 assists (-132)
Only seven players across the entire NBA average more than Andrew Nembhard’s 7.4 assists a night. Prior to his two-assist showing on Sunday, Nembhard had gone over 6.5 assists in seven straight games. After clearing Tuesday’s line in 15 of his last 20 appearances, Nembhard is now doing so at a 60% rate on the season.
While Nembhard has a D season matchup grade on his hands Tuesday, he still should get plenty of usage as a distributor. Backup point guard TJ McConnell is a game-time decision, meaning Nembhard could easily take on an even heavier load as a playmaker. Nembhard also dished out eight dimes against an F matchup grade in the Houston Rockets last week, so he has proven himself more than capable of overcoming tough opponents.
Best Josh Hart player prop for Pacers vs. Knicks
Pick: Josh Hart U 8.5 rebounds (-109)
Josh Hart, who is averaging 7.5 rebounds per game, has failed to clear 8.5 boards in 63% of his games this year. He has gone under that line in six consecutive contests and 11 of his last 14, only recording more than nine boards once during that stretch. Center Mitchell Robinson being out should theoretically leave more rebounds for the rest of the Knicks to reel in, but Hart has come in under 8.5 in four straight and seven of 10 overall when he plays and Robinson doesn’t.
Even the Pacers’ B-plus matchup grade isn’t particularly encouraging in Hart’s case. He has come up shy of 8.5 rebounds in 12 of his 19 games against B-minus matchups or easier this season.
Best Pascal Siakam player prop for Pacers vs. Knicks
Pick: Pascal Siakam 20+ points (-195)
Pascal Siakam is averaging 23.6 points per game this season, breaking 20 in 78% of his games. He isn’t far removed from a streak of 10 straight 20-point outings, as well as a 17-for-18 stretch, that came to an end on Friday. Even his 18-point and 19-point performances over the weekend weren’t that discouraging, considering he shot an uncharacteristic 18.2% from three and 58.3% from the line in those games and still almost reached the 20-point threshold.
New York boasting an F season matchup grade might suggest that Siakam could fall victim to another inefficient shooting night, but he dropped 26 the last time he faced the Knicks.
