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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cleveland Cavaliers prepare to face the Indiana Pacers, all eyes should be on Thomas Bryant and his points plus rebounds total. We're leaning towards the under at 21.5, and the stats back this up convincingly. Over his last five games, he's only averaged 6.8 points and 5 rebounds, which falls far below this line. At home, he's even less impactful, posting just 8.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. When matched up against the Pacers, his numbers dip further; he's managed a mere 1.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in their recent encounters. With a perfect 20-for-20 hit rate on the under in his last 20 games and a flawless record at home, it's clear that Bryant struggles to make a significant impact. Given these trends, taking the under on Thomas Bryant feels like a smart move for this matchup.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Kobe Brown's upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers has all the makings of a low-output performance. Despite a respectable average of 12 points on the road this season, his recent outings against similar opponents tell a different story. In his last five games versus the Cavaliers, he's managed just 4.3 points, and on their home court, that drops dramatically to 1.5. Brown's overall averages of 11.6 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists are solid, but they haven't translated well against Cleveland. In fact, he hasn't recorded a rebound or assist in the last few encounters with them. With a strong hit rate of 14 out of 17 for the under in this scenario, and an expected stat value of just 11.05, betting on him to stay under 20.5 feels like a prudent choice. His recent form, coupled with the historical data, strongly suggests a quieter night ahead.

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

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers head into Cleveland, all eyes will be on Kobe Brown, but I believe there's value in taking the under on his points and rebounds prop set at 17.5. Brown has been solid lately, averaging 11.6 points and 5 rebounds over his last five games, but when you dig deeper, the matchup against the Cavaliers raises some red flags. In his past five outings against them, he's only managed a mere 4.3 points and has failed to grab a single rebound in those games. Playing away, those numbers dip even further, with an average of just 1.5 points and 0 rebounds against this strong Cavs defense. With an impressive hit rate of 13 out of 17 for the under in recent games, it seems like a smart play to bet against Brown exceeding that 17.5 mark tonight.
