The Indiana Pacers took Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals before falling short in a not-so-competitive Game 2 on Sunday night. Tyrese Haliburton struggled throughout the first half of that contest, finishing with 17 points and six assists in the loss. As the Pacers look to bounce back on the road, Hali must play better — the season potentially hangs in the balance.
Here’s the top Tyrese Haliburton prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Pacers vs. Thunder Game 3 tonight.
Best Tyrese Haliburton prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
The Pacers enter the third game of this NBA Finals series as 5.5-point underdogs with +180 odds to win on the Moneyline. The game total sits at 238.5 combined points.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Haliburton’s prop lines at 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 2.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line sits at 30.5, a combo line which has ticked downward since last round.
Haliburton posted a 14-point, 10-assist, six-rebound performance with a game-winning shot in Game 1 of this series but came up flat in the first half of Game 2. While he salvaged his stat line for the day, it came much too late for the Pacers to come back and have a shot at winning the contest. The star guard did say he needed to be more aggressive coming out of the gate to start games, so this’ll be something to watch for on Wednesday night.
Still, the Thunder defense looks imposing and Haliburton himself may be playing through a leg injury. It’s difficult to tell how much said ailment is bothering him, and he described it as a “lower leg thing” himself. If his athleticism takes a hit, he can still make an impact since he’s such a cerebral player and one of the NBA’s last true floor generals. However, it won’t be easy to carry the team if he’s not at 100%.
We can work with that, though. If Hali doesn’t drive to the rim as frequently, he’ll likely settle for more shots from distance. With -105 odds on over 2.5 three-pointers, that line may be worth a look in Game 3 despite his relative struggles shooting from deep in the postseason. He already takes quite a few threes to begin with, so a few more attempts makes this over line safer.
Additionally, Haliburton to record a double-double holds appeal for bettors who believe the guard bounces back in a big way. He has 10 double-doubles in 18 playoff games so far, so the +160 odds with a hit rate over 50% feel fantastic.
