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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers gear up to host the Pacers, all eyes will be on Thomas Bryant, but betting on him to hit over 1.5 threes feels like a risky proposition. While Bryant has shown flashes of shooting prowess, his numbers against Indiana are particularly telling-averaging just 0.2 threes made over their last encounters, and even less at home, where he hasn't hit a single three against them. In his last five games, he's only averaged one three overall, and that trend tightens further in Cleveland, where he's hit the mark three times in his last three home games. With an impressive 88.9% hit rate over his last nine games, it's clear that he's been efficient, but the matchup suggests a regression. The under on Bryant's threes is looking strong, especially considering the implied probability is solidly in favor of this outcome. It's a bet driven by a blend of past performance and matchup dynamics.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Indiana Pacers, all eyes should be on Keon Ellis, particularly when it comes to his rebounding numbers. Sure, his recent form has seen him average 2.4 rebounds at home, but let's consider the bigger picture. In their last five encounters, he's only managed a mere 0.3 rebounds against the Pacers, and notably, he hasn't snagged a single board when playing them at home. With an average of just 1.8 rebounds in his last five games, the 2.5 line feels a touch high. Not to mention, the Cavs have been solid in limiting second-chance opportunities, which doesn't bode well for Ellis' chances of hitting the over. Given the context-and the fact that he's hit the under in 14 of his last 20 home games-betting on him to stay under 2.5 rebounds seems like a savvy move.
