Best Pacers player prop bets to consider for Game 3 vs. Celtics

After dropping two games to start the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers head back to Gainbridge Fieldhouse where they have been undefeated in this postseason. The Pacers will attempt to prevent the Boston Celtics from taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the series, a deficit no team has ever overcome in NBA history.

Here’s a look at some of our favorite Pacers player prop bets to target for Game 3 Saturday, with odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Pascal Siakam over 34.5 points + rebounds + assists (-118)

Tyrese Haliburton’s status is up in the air and even if he does play, he’s likely to be limited by his hamstring issue. Siakam has been on fire this series, averaging 26 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. Those numbers should stay relatively solid regardless of Haliburton’s final status but Siakam stands to gain the most if the point guard is ruled out. I’ll back the forward to continue his strong postseason with a big stat line in Game 3.

Andrew Nembhard over 1.5 3-pointers (+130)

The guard’s shooting has come around a bit of late, although we’ll have to see how real it is since he was at 35.7% from deep during the regular season. Nembhard shot 53.3% from deep in the first four games of the playoffs before hitting just 33.3% of his shots drom deep over the next six games. However, he’s turned that around a bit with a 52.9% clip over the last five games. Nembhard shoots better from the perimeter at home than he does on the road, so I’ll back him to go over this mark tonight.

Myles Turner over 15.5 points (-122)

Turner is a player who will need to step up for Indiana regardless of Haliburton’s situation. The big man managed just eight points in Game 2, and he’s had these types of outings in the playoffs before. He’s bounced back well, following up each of his previous single-digit point outputs with 20+ points. Turner is averaging 17.7 points per game this postseason and should bounce back at home in Game 3 in that category.
