-122, FanDuel

Bet by Sam Choudhury

T.J. McConnell has at least 14 points, rebounds and assists in 61 out of 92 (66.3%) games, averaging 9.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. He’s been even better at home, as bench players often are, recording 14-plus points, rebounds and assists in 33 out of 45 (73.3%) games, including each of the last seven, averaging 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Since the start of the postseason, McConnell has no fewer than 15 points, rebounds and assists in nine out of 13 (69.2%) games overall and six out of six games at home, averaging 16.3 combined points, rebounds and assists in the playoffs, up to 20.5 at home. Although the Knicks allow the fourth-fewest rebounds plus assists to opposing point guards, McConnell has thrived in this matchup, clearing this line in seven out of the last eight head-to-head meetings, including each of the last five in the playoffs over the last two seasons, averaging 9.9 points on 7.5 shots, 2.0 rebounds on 4.8 chances and 4.3 assists on 6.5 potential assists during that span.

10+ Points

Andrew Nembhard has scored at least 10 points in 42 out of 78 (53.8%) games, averaging 10.7 points on 8.7 shots. He’s been significantly better and a lot more active in the playoffs, scoring 10-plus points in 10 out of 13 (76.9%) games, averaging 14.0 points on 10.5 shots. He was held to nine points on an inefficient 2-for-9 shooting night the last time out but has scored no fewer than 11 points in five out of the last six (83.3%) games against the Knicks, averaging 13.7 points on 9.8 shots during that span. 

3+ Assists

Nembhard has at least three assists in 67 out of 78 (85.9%) games overall and 33 out of 38 (86.8%) games at home, averaging 5.1 per game and 5.3 in the playoffs. Although the Knicks allow the 10^th-fewest assists to opposing shooting guards, Nembhard has no fewer than three assists in 15 out of the last 18 (83.3%) head-to-head meetings, averaging 4.8 on 7.8 potential assists during that span.

Mikal Bridges Under 4.5 Assists

-154, FanDuel

Bet by Sam Choudhury

Mikal Bridges has three or fewer assists in 52 out of 97 (53.6%) games, averaging 3.6 per game. He’s been even worse on the road, recording no more than three assists in 28 out of 48 (58.3%) games, averaging 3.5 assists per game. With Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart all active, Bridges has failed to exceed three assists in 43 out of 70 (61.4%) games overall and 24 out of 33 (75.8%) games on the road, averaging 3.3 assists per game and 3.0 assists on the road. Since the start of the postseason, Bridges’ assist rate has taken a significant hit, surpassing three assists only three times in 14 (21.4%) games, averaging 2.8 assists on 4.7 potential assists. Against Indiana, Bridges hasn’t topped two assists in back-to-back games, dishing out only one assist on two potential assists in the first game with Mitchell Robinson in the starting lineup. The Pacers are also allowing the fourth-fewest assists to opposing small forwards.
