May 8 Best NBA Player Props
Tyrese Haliburton Under 4.5 Rebounds (-142) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
In 36 minutes, Tyrese Haliburton added just two rebounds. He also wasn't very aggressive from the floor, scoring six points on 2-for-6 shooting.
Haliburton has these stretches where he's a non-factor. The Knicks ultimately have a good game plan to keep Haliburton in check.
That said, he's added no more than four rebounds in four of seven playoff games and looked completely lost against the Knicks in Game 1.
Haliburton won't add many offensive rebounds, so he'd make his rebounds prop on the defensive end. The issue is that New York is the No. 1 offensive rebounding team in the NBA, and the Pacers have allowed more than 32% of offensive rebounds in three straight games.
OG Anunoby Over 6.5 Rebounds (-122) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
OG Anunoby has added at least nine rebounds in three of his last four games. He also brought down nine rebounds in 42 minutes against the Pacers in Game 1 of this series.
While Anunoby didn't shoot lights out on Monday, he was still a major factor defensively and dominated the glass. The Knicks continue to win games by being aggressive on the glass, and you can bet Anunoby will continue his dominant play on both ends.
After all, with a body like his out on the court for 40+ minutes, he should easily get seven or more rebounds with the pace of play being so fast.
Pascal Siakam Under 7.5 Rebounds (-125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
I keep factoring in the glass for Game 2. But there is a major discrepancy between the two teams. The Knicks will dominate the glass, while the Pacers will limit turnovers. Because of those keys, the game will still be tight.
Still, the Pacers won't be effective on the glass. That includes Pascal Siakam, who only added six rebounds in 37 minutes against the Knicks in Game 1.
The Pacers have allowed at least 32.5% of offensive rebounds in three consecutive games between the Bucks and Knicks. In those three games, Siakam didn't add more than seven rebounds in any of those games.
As long as the Knicks dominate on the offensive glass, Siakam will struggle to find success.
