T.J. McConnell
Over 16.5 Points + Assists
T.J. McConnell has been a folk hero in the betting community for a long time with his ability to rack up assists and play hard-nosed defense. Especially when given the opportunity.
One stat from Maltman with our Action Network Best Bets stood out for why we should be backing McConnell to continue having a crucial role in Game 3.
“When McConnell played at least 20+ minutes in the regular season, he went over this line 19-of-26 times (73%). In the playoffs, he's played 20+ minutes in the last three games and has gone over it every time.”
Indiana Pacers
Team Total Over 114.5
The knock on the Pacers has never been their offense. They led the NBA in points per game during the regular season (123.3) and are currently No.1 in the postseason (114.5).
Andrew O’Connor-Watts explains why he thinks the offensive trend will continue in Game 3:
“The Pacers were the most profitable team to the team total over during the regular season, according to EV Analytics (49-32). If we take just their home record, that improves to 27-13-1 for 24.7% ROI.
"In the playoffs, they’ve continued that trend. Indiana has gone over their team total in both games against the Knicks so far, but more importantly, they’ve gone over in every win this season. While the Pacers don’t win every game they go over, they have gone over in every win.”

Indiana Pacers
-7.5
This parlay is becoming quite Pacers-centric, but it’s hard to overlook consequential factors going against New York in Game 3.
Injuries, a road game and historical trends have started to add up and according to the latest Action PRO Report for tonight’s game, the sharp action being tracked is coming in on the Indiana Pacers:
“The sharp action, a reliable indicator of professional betting patterns, shows significant backing for the Pacers, highlighting a robust confidence level among those with keen insights into NBA betting trends. This particular system, “NBA Playoffs: More Money on Favorites,” has historically yielded a 59% win rate and a 14% ROI.
”Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby being hampered not only limits the Knicks' offensive firepower but also diminishes their defensive capabilities, further skewing the matchup in favor of the Pacers.
“Based on these indicators and the historical success rate of the PRO Systems signal, the recommendation is to consider the Pacers spread in Game 3.”
