Top Player Prop Picks

1. Over 25.5 Points for Donovan Mitchell

widget-props-nba-5350-2384803

Donovan Mitchell has been the offensive leader for the Cavaliers, and with Indiana's defensive vulnerabilities, he is poised for a big scoring night. Mitchell's ability to attack the rim and shoot from deep makes this line an attractive option.

2. Over 8.5 Assists for Darius Garland

Darius Garland has been a key playmaker for Cleveland, consistently setting up his teammates for easy buckets. Against a Pacers defense that struggles to contain ball movement, Garland should have plenty of opportunities to rack up assists.

3. Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made for Buddy Hield

Buddy Hield is one of the Pacers' most reliable shooters from beyond the arc. With Cleveland likely focusing on containing Indiana's interior scoring, Hield should find open looks from three-point range, making this prop a solid choice.
