Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Carlton Carrington / Over Rebounds + Assists / 9.5 at -111 / 72% / Carrington’s expanded role in a narrow rotation has seen him exceed this in 70% of recent games, facing a Pacers defense weak against secondary ball-handlers.

Player Prop #2: Pascal Siakam / Over Points / 22.5 at -115 / 68% / Siakam’s usage spikes against Wizards’ frontcourt, averaging 25+ in similar matchups this season, with their interior defense allowing high efficiency.

Player Prop #3: Tyrese Haliburton / Under Assists / 10.5 at -110 / 65% / Haliburton’s questionable status limits minutes, and even if active, Pacers’ adjusted offense reduces his playmaking load against Wizards’ perimeter pressure.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Pacers, aligning with sharp money and simulation metrics, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. The game’s scoring outlook leans toward the over, driven by Indiana’s efficient offense and Washington’s defensive lapses in transition. Injury absences on both sides, particularly in the Pacers’ depth and Wizards’ key wings, further solidify the favorite’s edge without disrupting overall pace.
