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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers prepare to host the Pacers, all eyes will be on Thomas Bryant, but the smart money is on him to hit the under on 1.5 threes. Despite his talents, the numbers tell a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaging just one three-pointer, and when facing the Pacers, that number drops to a mere 0.2. Even at home, he's failed to sink a single three against Indiana. Given that his hit rate has been impressive overall at 8 of 9, it's crucial to note that those numbers don't translate well against this specific opponent. The Cavs' defensive scheme is designed to limit perimeter shots, and Bryant's recent home form shows he's not finding the range. With an implied probability of 62.5% pointing towards the under, this looks like a solid play as he struggles to connect from beyond the arc.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers prepare to host the Pacers, all eyes should be on Keon Ellis and his rebounding performance. With a current average of just 2.4 boards at home and only 0.3 against Indiana in their last five meetings, it's hard to see him eclipsing that 2.5 mark. In fact, he hasn't even registered a rebound against the Pacers when playing in Cleveland. His recent form shows he's been just shy of the target, averaging 1.8 overall rebounds in his last five outings. The numbers paint a clear picture: Ellis has hit the under in four of his last five games, and with an expected stat value of just 2.01, the odds favor a repeat performance. Given these trends and the matchup dynamics, taking the under on Ellis feels like a solid play as the Cavaliers look to solidify their playoff position.
