Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 11.5 Rebounds (-588)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Cavaliers prepare to host the Pacers, targeting Thomas Bryant for under 11.5 rebounds feels like a savvy move. Sure, he's a big body in the paint, but recent trends tell a different story. Over his last five games, he's averaging just five boards, and even at home, that dips to a mere 4.4. When facing the Pacers, Bryant's numbers are even less inspiring, with an average of only three rebounds per game, and just 2.3 when playing at home against them. Despite his solid performance in previous contests-20 for 20 hitting the under in his last 20 games-this matchup suggests a ceiling much lower than 11.5. With the Cavaliers focusing on a balanced attack, Bryant's rebounding opportunities could be limited. It's a compelling case for the under as the Cavs aim for a strong home victory.

Thomas Bryant (Cleveland Cavaliers) Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds (-357)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Cavaliers and the Pacers, targeting Thomas Bryant for under 27.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart play. The stats paint a clear picture: Bryant has averaged just 6.8 points and 5 rebounds over his last five games, and at home, those numbers dip slightly to 8.4 points and 4.4 rebounds. Against the Pacers, his performance has been particularly muted, with an average of just 4.2 points and 3 rebounds in their recent matchups. When you consider he's only hit this mark at home once, it's hard to see him suddenly breaking out. With a striking consistency of 20 straight unders, this isn't just a fluke-it's a trend. Given the Cavaliers' defensive prowess, we expect Bryant will struggle to hit 27.5 combined, making the under a compelling choice.

Kam Jones (Indiana Pacers) Under 19.5 Points + Assists (-323)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Indiana Pacers gear up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, all eyes will be on Kam Jones, but betting on him to score over 19.5 points and assists may be a risky endeavor. Despite his recent performances, Jones has thrived in a supportive home environment, but this time he'll be on the road, where he's hit the under in his last four away games. The Cavaliers' defense is no joke, ranking among the top in the league for limiting opposing scoring. With an expected stat value of just 6.21, Jones is not projected to break through that 19.5 threshold easily. His recent run of 6/6 hitting the under underscores the trend, and against a team like Cleveland, who play with intensity on their home court, it's likely Jones will find it tough to contribute significantly. This matchup screams under for him, making it a savvy bet to consider.
