Sunday's Best NBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Myles Turner 14+ Points (-110)
Myles Turner had a great Game 1 with 15 points, and what makes him so good is that he is a big man with an outside shot. He's a center who likes to set up on the perimeter, and in Game 1, he went 2-of-5 from three.
Overall, he's been efficient in the playoffs by shooting 52.8%, and has shot well from all ranges; he's shooting 62% from less than eight feet and 64% from 20-24 feet. The Pacers have the ability to play fast and move the ball and they will set up Turner to shoot from three or let him post up in the paint.
Tyrese Haliburton 9+ Assists (+110)
All of the attention for Haliburton has been because of his heroic late game shooting, and it is well deserved, as he's having some of the most clutch moments in NBA playoff history. However, his ability to distribute the ball has been the key to this offense.
Although he only had six assists in Game 1, that could be an outlier, and as he has gone over eight in eight of the last 15 games, and is averaging 9.5 assists per game in the playoffs. Haliburton led Game 1 with 108 touches and 89 passes, and if he maintains those same numbers, then there is a better chance for assists.
Chet Holmgren 15+ Points (-125)
Holmgren was quiet in Game 1 with eight points on 2-of-9 shooting, but that could just be an off night. He's been much better throughout the playoffs as he's scored 20 or more points in three of the last four and double-digits in 15-of-17 playoff games.
As great as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been, he cannot be the Thunder’s only offensive option. They will have plays designed for others, especially as Indiana started pressuring Gilgeous-Alexander later in the game. His shot volume went down, especially in the fourth quarter, with only four field goal attempts.
Holmgren could see more opportunities to help take pressure off Gilgeous-Alexander and open up the offense.
