Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 21.5 Points + Rebounds (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare to take on the Indiana Pacers, all eyes should be on Thomas Bryant, particularly if you're considering his points and rebounds prop. With an expectation set at 21.5, it's hard to see him surpassing that mark. Over his last five games, Bryant has averaged just 6.8 points and 5 rebounds, well below the threshold we're targeting. At home, those numbers dip slightly, with a mere 8.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. Even more telling is his history against the Pacers. He's managed just 4.2 points and 3 rebounds in their last five matchups, and when playing at home, those numbers drop to an alarming 1.3 points and 2.3 rebounds. With a flawless 20-for-20 hit rate in the last 20 games and 14 for 14 at home, the under on Bryant feels like a solid play in this matchup.

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-108)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers gear up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Kobe Brown, but we're leaning towards the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 20.5. While Brown's recent averages of 11.6 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists paint a promising picture, his performance against the Cavaliers tells a different story. In his last five games against them, he's managed just 4.3 points, and even worse, only 1.5 when playing away. The Cavaliers are known for their staunch defense, and with Brown's trend of struggling on the road-highlighted by an away hit rate of just 17 out of his last 20 games-this feels like a solid spot to take the under. His expected stat value of 11.05 further supports the notion that he might fall short of that crucial 20.5 mark tonight.

Kobe Brown (Indiana Pacers) Under 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-110)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When sizing up Kobe Brown's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the smart play is targeting the Under on his points and rebounds combined at 17.5. While he's shown some offensive flair recently, averaging 11.6 points and 5 rebounds over his last five games, the numbers tell a more compelling story when he's away, where his production dips to just 12 points and 5.6 boards. Against the Cavs, his performance takes another hit, with an average of only 4.3 points in their last five encounters and an even more concerning 1.5 points per game when playing in Cleveland. Add to that the fact he hasn't grabbed a single rebound against them recently, and it's clear that the Cavs' defense has his number. With a hit rate of just 4/20 for this specific matchup, it's safe to say that keeping Brown under 17.5 feels like the right call.
