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 the contest carries a total of 224.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Myles Turner prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Myles Turner Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Myles Turner U 1.5 Made Three Pointers (-120)

Turner is only averaging 1.5 made three pointers per game this postseason and the center hasn’t hit multiple three pointers in 14 of his 20 starts during these playoffs. Turner has faced the Thunder six times this season and in those matchups, he is shooting a low 19% on three pointers and has only hit multiple shots in one of these six games.

Oklahoma City is easily the highest-rated defense in the NBA this season. Turner has especially struggled when defended by Chet Holmgren, who has been his primary defender during these NBA Finals. In the 22 minutes that Holmgren has defended Turner in the series, Holmgren is shooting 33% from the field and an ugly 16.7% on three pointers. Heading into a very hostile environment in Oklahoma City for Game 5, Turner should have a quiet performance and is a compelling bet for under 1.5 made three pointers.
