NBA Odds: Over/Under Picks for Pacers vs Knicks Game 5
All three selections are graded highly by Action PRO’s predictive betting models.
First up is Toppin of the Pacers hitting the over on 6.5 points at -120 odds via BetMGM. PRO Projections have him scoring an impressive 9.1 points on average for Game 5’s scenario, and Toppin has been a consistent spark for the high-powered Indiana offense.
On the same side, Haliburton stands out with a recommended pick on under 21.5 points (-110, BetMGM). While the star guard dazzled with a triple-double and zero turnovers in the last game, PRO’s projections peg Haliburton at 19.6 points for NBA Thursday.
Finally, the best bet of the slate from PRO Projections is Towns of the Knicks over 21.5 points (best odds at DraftKings). PRO expects Towns to put up roughly 25.9 points, which makes sense as the Knicks fight to extend the series and avoid elimination. His scoring will be crucial down 3-1, and this prop provides a valuable opportunity for bettors looking for leverage in Game 5.
