Pacers vs. Thunder
The Thunder missed Isaiah Hartenstein on both sides of the court after benching him as a starter, going -17 on the glass in Game 1, but they also missed his screens and his passing.
The Thunder averaged 1.64 points per possession on 16 possessions with Hartenstein as a screener.
We’ll see if he starts again, but minutes should trend up as an obvious adjustment.
He had 9 rebounds in 17 minutes, and is by far the best rebounder in the series.
So, even 20 minutes makes this bet feel good, and anything more should put alternate lines and series leader in play.
Pick: Isaiah Hartenstein Over 6.5 Rebounds (-120) / To Record 10+ Rebounds (+320)

Pacers vs. Thunder
No reason to stop playing this line after cashing in Game 1.
Haliburton recorded only 13 potential assists in Game 1, and his assists are always lower in losses.
Indy started playing more iso late too.
Pick: Tyrese Haliburton Under 8.5 Assists (-125)

Pacers vs. Thunder
Nesmith had 5 turnovers in Game 1 of this series, as he spent way too much time on the ball dribbling around against a defense this good.
Pick: Aaron Nesmith Over 1.5 Turnovers (+130)
