Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 41.5 Points (-1429)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Based on the given statistics, betting on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to score under 41.5 points in the upcoming game is a sensible choice. This conclusion is drawn from examining his recent scoring history. His average points scored overall in the last five games is 28.2, and even when considering only home games, the average only rises to 32. This is still significantly lower than the 41.5-point threshold set for this bet. Furthermore, when specifically playing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring average is 35.4 points overall and 37 at home, both under the set outcome point. Finally, his overall hit rate for the last 11 games and his home hit rate for the last 6 games are both perfect, indicating a strong and consistent performance under the proposed point threshold. Therefore, the statistical evidence strongly supports taking the under on this bet.

Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers) Under 38.5 Points + Assists (-2000)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

This bet is reliant on the statistical history of Tyrese Haliburton's performance, particularly his average points and assists per game. Over the last five games, Haliburton has averaged 17.4 points and 7 assists overall, and 20.6 points and 10 assists in away games, which together are well under the 38.5 outcome point. Furthermore, his average points and assists when playing against the Knicks, even when away, are lower at 15.8 points and 6.6 assists. This consistent underperformance against the Knicks, combined with his overall lower scoring and assisting averages, strongly suggest that it is statistically unlikely for Haliburton to exceed 38.5 points + assists in the upcoming game. Hence, the bet on Haliburton to be under 38.5 in the Knicks vs Pacers game is statistically supported.

Tyrese Haliburton (Sacramento Kings) Under 38.5 Points + Assists (-2000)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Tyrese Haliburton for under 38.5 points and assists in the upcoming game against the New York Knicks is underpinned by his recent performance data. Looking at his last five games overall, Haliburton averaged 17.4 points and 7 assists, resulting in a combined total of 24.4. Even when considering his away game performance, where his averages increase to 20.6 points and 10 assists, his combined total of 30.6 still falls well short of the 38.5 target. Additionally, Haliburton's past performance against the Knicks, both at home and away, doesn't suggest he'll exceed this combined total either. His averages of points and assists against this team - 18.4 and 8.4 at home and 15.8 and 6.6 away respectively - are all below the bet's point benchmark, reinforcing the rationale for this under bet.

Jalen Brunson (Dallas Mavericks) Under 40.5 Points (-2500)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

This bet on Jalen Brunson to score under 40.5 points in the game between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers is supported by several statistical indicators. Firstly, Brunson's average points scored in the last five games overall (25.6 points) and at home (28.4 points) are both significantly lower than the 40.5 point threshold. Moreover, when specifically facing the Pacers, his scoring average drops further to 23 points, and even his home average against this opponent (31.8 points) is well below the bet's threshold. In addition, Brunson's consistent performance is underscored by a 100% hit rate in his last 20 overall games and last 14 home games. Therefore, the statistical trends suggest a high probability of Brunson scoring under 40.5 points in this game.

Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks) Under 40.5 Points (-2500)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The betting rationale for predicting Jalen Brunson to score under 40.5 points is primarily rooted in his past performance data. His average points over the last five games are 25.6 overall and 28.4 when playing at home. Even against the Indiana Pacers, his average remains lower than the outcome point, at 23 points overall and 31.8 points at home. The highest average recorded is still significantly less than the 40.5 outcome point. Additionally, Brunson's expected stat value for this game is 26.43 points, which reiterates that he is unlikely to exceed the 40.5 points marker. The consistent hit rate in the last 20 overall games and 14 home games further strengthens the prospects of this bet. Thus, the under bet for Brunson is statistically sound based on his historical performance.

Pascal Siakam (Toronto Raptors) Under 14.5 Rebounds + Assists (-909)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The under 14.5 bet for Pascal Siakam's total rebounds and assists is informed by his recent performance data. Siakam's average figures over the last five games for both overall and away games are lower than the outcome point of 14.5. His combined average for rebounds and assists is 10.2 overall and 9.8 in away games. Furthermore, his performance against the same opponent, the Indiana Pacers, also supports this bet. His combined average for rebounds and assists in the last five games against the Pacers is 8.8. Even when playing away against the Pacers, his combined average is only 9.4. Given these statistics, it's reasonable to predict that Siakam's total rebounds and assists in the upcoming game will fall under 14.5.
