Tyrese Haliburton OVER 8.5 Assists

As OKC fans know all too well after Game 1, Haliburton's playmaking drives competitive games. His clutch shot making should only help his cause, as the Thunder will definitely force the basketball out of "The Moment's" hands down the stretch. 

Haliburton's averaged nine assists across his past 10 games, while going for 11 or more on four occasions. The pace and potential catch up minutes of Game 2 raise the NBA All-Star's assist ceiling. It's more likely than not the Pacers will have to chase tonight's basketball game, and their star point guard will be the driving force behind that. 

Crucially, Haliburton averages 15.5 potential assists a night, and saw 13 in Game 1. 

Pacers +11

Despite turning the ball over 22 times in the first-half of Thursday night's Game 1, the Pacers battled back to win the contest. Indiana's resiliency has been the story of these NBA playoffs.  Game 1 marked the Pacers fifth 15-plus point comeback on this incredible run, the most by a team in a single postseason since 1998. 

This Pacers +11 play directly correlates with our Haliburton assists same-game parlay leg. In 22 Indiana games this season where Haliburton tallied 10 or more assists, the Pacers went 16-6 ATS. Plus, Indiana is a phenomenal 21-12 ATS as a 10-plus point dog over the last two seasons. 

Six Pacers players scored in double-figures on Thursday night, so I like Indiana's proven ability to battle back, and get contributions from their depth, even if the starters aren't scoring. Back the Pacers to cover the double-digit spread as the second leg of our NBA Finals Game 2 same-game parlay. 

UNDER 228.5

Oklahoma City cashes the UNDER at 60% at home when the total is OVER 227 this season. We've seen some reverse line movement here, as the total opened at 229.5, and went all the way down to 228, before settling at 228.5 with majority OVER tickets. 

As such, we'll stick with the UNDER here as the Thunder have cashed this line in eight of their last 10 playoff contests. I expect OKC to attempt to slow the pace of this contest, especially in the second-half, as they aim to even up the series before the NBA Finals head to Indiana.
