Pacers ML
The Pacers moneyline leads off my NBA parlay predictions.
In Game 5, I took them +4, and in hindsight, that was a prime letdown spot for them after a massive offensive performance at home in Game 4.
In New York, the Pacers came crashing back down to earth, shooting 30 of 74 from the floor (40.5%), including 10 of 30 from 3-point range (33.3%).
The Knicks recorded more rebounds (45-40), assists (22-20), steals (11-10), and points in the paint (60-34).
The Pacers either tied or scored fewer points in every quarter than the Knicks.
Indiana had just three players record double-digit points, including Pascal Siakam (15), Bennedict Mathurin (23), and Obi Toppin (11).
After recording a triple-double in Game 4, Tyrese Haliburton had just eight points, six assists, and two rebounds in 32 minutes.
It didn't help either that the Pacers had 20 turnovers.
The Knicks played fairly well, shooting 49.4% from the floor (44 of 89), but didn't do much from beyond the arc, going 8 of 29 (27.6%).
They also shot just 15 of 22 from the free-throw line (68.2%).
Five players recorded double-digit points for the Knicks: Towns (24), OG Anunoby (11), Mikal Bridges (12), Jalen Brunson (32), and Josh Hart (12).
In Game 4, the Pacers were unstoppable, shooting over 51% from the floor and beyond 40% from beyond the arc.
Back home in Game 6, I'm expecting the Pacers to deliver the final nail in the coffin.
Haliburton will bounce back. Yes, he had a triple-double in Game 4, but beyond that, he's been stellar at home in the postseason.
Across the seven home postseason games this year, he's averaging 17.7 points per game. He's had 20 or more in four of them.
That point total includes an outing against the Cavaliers in which he had just four points across 30 minutes—a massive outlier.
Also consider that the Pacers are shooting nearly 40% from beyond the arc this postseason, which is the best in the league.
Back at home, I expect the Pacers to get the win.
For this Same Game Parlay, I won't mess with the point spread; I'll take the moneyline and move on.
Obi Toppin 10+ Points + Rebounds
The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Toppin to record 10 or more points and rebounds combined.
Throughout this series, Toppin is averaging just under 18 minutes per game.
Scoring and rebound-wise, he's averaging 7.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.
He's recorded a combined 10 points and rebounds in three of five games.
Toppin went 1-1 in the home games.
Interestingly, in the home game, he recorded more than 10 points and rebounds combined, despite playing a series-low 14 minutes. He had eight points and four rebounds.
In the other home game, he had five points and two rebounds. He attempted just three shots, including two from beyond the arc.
This season, Toppin is averaging 10.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He's shooting 52.9% from the floor, including 36.5% from 3-point range.
Through 15 postseason games this year, he's had 10 combined points and rebounds eight times.
Look for Toppin to record at least six of his points from beyond the arc, even if it is in limited play.
Mitchell Robinson 5+ Points + Assists
The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Robinson to have five combined points and assists.
Through the five games in this series, Robinson has met this mark in all but one game.
He fell short in Game 1 after attempting just one shot and recording one assist.
He's had exactly six points in four games, which is already enough to satisfy this prop.
In those games, he's attempted at least three shots.
The assists are hit or miss. He's had three total this series, including one in Games 1, 3, and 4.
He's also logged some solid minutes at times, playing 29 minutes in Games 2 and 3.
Robinson has attempted just 14 shots, but he's made 11 of them in this series.
With this, I'm relying on the points mainly, but if he can record just one assist, that'll set up nicely for him to just put in a couple of dunks, record four points, and we've got it.
