By Joe Dellera

TJ McConnell has been solid so far for Indiana, and I honestly thought he might get played off in this series, but he’s proven me wrong.

He’s necessary for Indiana to find any offense, as they need multiple passing options because of the defensive attention Haliburton is getting. Plus, teams do not really respect his shot, so he gets some open looks.

He’s averaging 10 points and 5 assists in these two Finals games and he’s now hit this line in his last 6 games against the Thunder.

I’ll grab over 10.5 PA with Indiana heading back home for Game 3 tonight.

Pick: T.J. McConnell Over 10.5 Points + Assists (-125)

By Bryan Fonseca

This is a numbers play for me.

I strongly believe Indiana splits these two home games. I got this at +185 on Caesars.

If it hits, great, I’d likely play OKC in Game 4 — don’t know how yet, depends on how Game 3 actually goes.

If it misses, I’ll be back on Pacers moneyline in Game 4.

The number, I would think, will be dependent on how Game 3 goes. Process matters.

But while I think OKC should win this series, I like Indiana to force a best of 3 after it going 2-2.

More is explained at length on Tuesday’s episode of Buckets.

Pick: Pacers Moneyline (+175)

By Michael Fiddle

I think this line will close at -6 and thus taking a low vig -5.5 (-105) that is widely available now would be a strong bet.

As of now, there is too large of an adjustment for an NBA Finals home court switch.

This closed -11.5 (-115) for the Thunder in Game 2, which should be worth about 6 points.

That line is up at -5.5 (-115), but we also need to consider the movement is sliding through some of the most valuable NBA numbers, and therefore, the line should move a little less.

Late money has consistently come in on OKC in this series. I am backing them again heavily in Game 3.

Pick: Thunder -5.5 (-105)

By Charlie Wright

I considered this play for Game 2, but I was expecting a bump in playing time for the bigs.

Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren played a bit more in Game 2, but still didn’t see their normal allotment of minutes.

There are plenty of opportunities available for the wings given head coach Mark Daigneault’s approach. Alex Caruso has been the big winner so far.

After playing 27+ minutes in just 3 games heading into this round, Caruso has hit that threshold in both games this series. He’s averaging 20 points + rebounds.

The smaller lineups have led to a joint rebounding effort, with several players chipping in on the glass. Caruso has grabbed 4.5 rebounds per game on 7.5 rebound chances.

He has also done well making himself available on offense, whether for 3-pointers or for dump-offs in the dunker’s spot.

This is a road game for the young Thunder. From a non-analytical perspective, that’s favored Caruso in the postseason.

He’s been one of the few secondary options that hasn’t been afraid of tough environments.

Pick: Alex Caruso Over 12.5 Points + Rebounds (-130)
