Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-167)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Cavaliers gear up to face the Indiana Pacers, all eyes will be on Thomas Bryant, but betting on him to hit over 1.5 threes might be a stretch. Bryant has been solid recently, but the numbers tell a story that favors the under. Over his last five games, he's averaging just one three per game, and he hasn't found the net against the Pacers, hitting only 0.2 threes per game in their last five encounters, and he's gone cold at home against them, averaging zero makes.While he boasts an impressive hit rate overall, his recent form against Indiana suggests that this matchup may not yield the same results. With an implied probability of 62.5% for the under and a consistent trend of hitting below this number at home, this bet feels like a smart play. In a pivotal game, expect Bryant to focus more on other aspects of his game rather than stretching the floor.

Keon Ellis (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 2.5 Rebounds (+134)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers gear up to face the Pacers at home, eyes turn to Keon Ellis, and specifically, the rebound market. With a line set at 2.5, there's compelling reason to lean towards the under. Over his last five games, Ellis has averaged just 1.8 boards, and while he's a bit better at home with 2.4, he's struggled against Indiana. In fact, he's only managed a paltry 0.3 rebounds per game against them recently, even failing to grab a single board at home in their last encounter.The numbers suggest that this matchup isn't particularly favorable for him. Given that he's only hit this over 14 times out of 20 home games in the last stretch, and with an expected stat value of just 2.13, the under looks enticing. It's a solid play as Cleveland looks to secure a win, but Ellis may not be the one stuffing the stat sheet this time around.
