Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Zach LaVine / Over Points / 25.5 at -115 / 68% / LaVine probable with back tightness but averages 28.2 PPG recently; Pacers’ perimeter defense ranks 22nd, allowing 25+ to guards in 7 of last 10.

Player Prop #2: Tyrese Haliburton / Over Assists / 10.5 at -110 / 62% / Haliburton leads Pacers’ offense at 11.8 APG season average; Bulls’ backcourt injuries boost usage, hitting over in 6 of last 8 road games.

Player Prop #3: Nikola Vucevic / Over Rebounds / 12.5 at -105 / 65% / Vucevic pulls 13.1 RPG at home; Pacers weak on boards (27th in opp reb %), and with Turner questionable, rebounding edge favors over in simulations.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans toward the Bulls, aligning with sharp money distribution and market consensus, making following the favorite optimal rather than fading. Pacers’ extensive injuries (multiple doubtful/out) exacerbate their poor form, while Bulls’ key players like White and Collins are confirmed active. Overall scoring outlook points to a controlled pace under the total, with both defenses holding opponents below 110 PPG in recent matchups.
