Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Pascal Siakam / Over Points / 22.5 at -110 / 65% / Siakam’s usage rises without Haliburton, averaging 24.2 points in recent games against weakened frontcourts; Kings’ defense allows high efficiency inside per current season data.

Player Prop #2: De’Aaron Fox / Over Assists / 6.5 at -110 / 70% / Fox’s playmaking surges with Sabonis out, hitting over in 8 of last 10 without the center; Pacers’ perimeter defense ranks middling in assists allowed this season.

Player Prop #3: Myles Turner / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -110 / 62% / Turner’s rebounding average climbs to 9.1 without Haliburton sharing touches, exploiting Kings’ thin frontcourt depth and poor defensive rebounding rate in 2025.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Pacers, but divergent money distribution hints at sharp interest in the home side amid Kings’ key injuries like Sabonis’ absence. Following the public aligns with mathematical edges here, as metrics confirm Indiana’s home strength without forcing a fade. Overall game scoring leans moderately high due to both teams’ fast-paced offenses and defensive vulnerabilities, projecting around the total line.
