The Pacers and Knicks begin the Eastern Conference Finals with Game 1 in New York on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Knicks are a 4.5-point favorite and this contest carries a total of 221 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Aaron Nesmtih prop bet to consider for Game 1.

Best Aaron Nesmith Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Aaron Nesmith Over 11.5 Points (-130)

Nesmith has been awesome so far this postseason, averaging 14.2 PPG. The wing is shooting 52% from the field and 48.2% on three-pointers. Nesmith has exceeded 11.5 points in eight of his 10 starts during these playoffs and he peaked with a 23-point outing vs. the Cavaliers in the second round.

Nesmith was a nonfactor in his two matchups with the Knicks in the regular season, scoring zero and four points, but he played a much smaller role for the Pacers then, as he saw less than 18 minutes both of these contests. Now, in these playoffs, Nesmith is averaging 30 minutes per game and he is handling a 17.1% usage rate. This 11.5-point line doesn’t reflect Nesmith’s current role and he is a sharp bet for this over in Game 1.
