Game 3 has come and went – and we got a little bit of home cooking in that one. The Pacers, as they do, came on strong at the end to take a 2-1 lead. More importantly than that outcome is the fact that we swept the board with our Game 3 props. Now we’ll look to replicate that success with out prop bets for Game 4. Who’s hot right now? Who is poised for a comeback? We’ve got you covered with all the info.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers
Tipoff – June 13th, 8:30 pm EST
Gainbridge Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN
Broadcast – ABC
The Pacers keept showing that they aren’t afraid to use their bench and for significant minutes. Four different players on Indiana’s bench played at least 15 minutes. With player prop bets, this puts a lot of these guys in great places to hit the overs.
One of the players I like best to pass his projection is Obi Toppin. Down the stretch in Game 3, he played some significant minutes and came up big on both ends of the court – and should maintain minutes with that performance.
If he gets anywhere near 28 minutes again, his projection of 4.5 rebounds is going to look like child’s play. He put up six on Wednesday and hasn’t been below this number since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. In that game, he was only a half of a board behind the mark.
Prop Bet #1: Obi Toppin Over 4.5 Rebounds (-125)
For Game 3, we took a look at the under on the defensive stats of Chet Holmgren yet again. Despite being a force there during the year, he just hasn’t been an impact on that side of the ball for the Thunder in this series. Chet has gotten only two blocks and a steal over the course of the series. All of those games combined would barely put him over this projection for just Game 4.
The way the Pacers are staying away from him, I can’t imagine that he’s going to see a sudden uptick in action there. As a result, the line is a touch worse, falling from -135 to -145. Still there is plenty of value in his under here.
Prop Bet #2: Chet Holmgren Under 2.5 Blocks + Steals (-145)
