Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-161)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the Cavaliers' tilt against the Pacers, targeting Thomas Bryant for under 1.5 threes made feels like a savvy move. While Bryant has been a solid contributor lately, the numbers tell a different story when it comes to his long-range shooting. Over his last five games, he's averaging just one three-pointer, and against the Pacers, he's hit a mere 0.2 threes per game. Even more telling? At home, he's failed to make a single three in their previous encounters.With an overall hit rate of 8 out of his last 9 games, most of those successes came against softer defenses. The Cavs are known for their strong perimeter defense, which should further constrain Bryant's ability to connect from deep. Given these trends, taking the under on his threes made seems not just prudent, but almost necessary.

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

As the Cavaliers prepare to face the Pacers, targeting Keon Ellis for under 2.5 rebounds feels like a savvy move. Despite the home court advantage, Ellis has been inconsistent on the glass, averaging just 1.8 rebounds over his last five games and managing only 2.4 at home. What's particularly telling is his struggles against the Pacers; he's pulled down an average of just 0.3 rebounds per game in their recent matchups. In fact, when playing at home against Indiana, he hasn't registered a single board in their last encounter. With a hit rate of 14 out of 20 games at home, it seems this trend is unlikely to change. Given these factors, the under on 2.5 rebounds for Ellis not only makes sense but presents a solid opportunity to capitalize on his current form against a team he historically struggles against.
