🔥 Jalen Brunson Over 31.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Knicks may be down in the series, but it's hard to blame Brunson, who is getting the third-shortest NBA Finals MVP odds. He's putting up 33 points per game against the Pacers and shooting 51.4% from the floor with a 125.0 offensive rating and the highest usage rate of any player in the series (35.4%).

Brunson is averaging 30.4 field-goal and free-throw attempts per game against the Pacers, and they don't have any answers for him. His sheer volume alone, on top of New York needing to win to stay alive, should help the two-time All-Star go Over 31.5 points for the fourth time against Indiana, and the ninth time during these playoffs.

🔥 Tyrese Haliburton Over 9.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

The roller coaster that is Haliburton has helped the Pacers climb the NBA championship odds throughout the playoffs thanks to his heroics.

He also managed to follow up a 32-point triple-double in Game 4 with an eight-point showing in Game 5. That's why I'd rather bet on the "most overrated player in the NBA" to hit the Over on his assists prop.

Haliburton leads the NBA playoffs in assists per game (9.5), and he's averaging 10 apples in five games against the Knicks, hitting double digits three times. With Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith's efficiency, Haliburton should continue to enjoy opportunities to set them up in Game 6.

🔥 Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Towns has been pulling down rebounds like he's prime Jeremy Shockey winning a 50/50 ball to save Eli Manning from yet another interception. The Kentucky product is averaging 11.5 boards per game during the postseason, but he's gone Over 11.5 in four of five games against the Pacers, which includes averaging 13.3 in his last three outings.

The Pacers' offensive rebound rate is just 19.4% in the series, with the Knicks dominating the glass. New York has logged a 27.9% offensive rebound rate while outrebounding the Pacers 210 to 122, with Towns accounting for 59 boards behind a series-leading 21.3% total rebound rate.
