New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers — Game 3
Josh Hart Over 16.5 Points (-125)
Another day, another Josh Hart over.
I’ve been highlighting this particular prop consistently over the last few weeks. 14.5, 15-plus, 15.5… it doesn’t matter. The guys just keeps hitting it.
This time, his line has jumped up to 16.5, and I’m still picking it with no hesitation. New York’s jack-of-all-trades isn’t known for scoring, but that’s exactly what he’s done as of late. Hart racked up at least 16 points in five of the six games against Philly, and continued that hot streak into the beginning of the Eastern Conference semis, scoring 24 and 19 in the first two contests.
Hart’s usage rate has seen a significant spike since the start of the playoffs, and I’d imagine it’s going to stay that way with OG Anunoby out for at least a few games with his hamstring strain.
It’s impossible for Hart’s minutes to increase, as the guy has played four full games through the Knicks’ first eight playoff contests. However, his offensive workload can certainly be bumped up a notch. I’m going to continue to highlight his over until he cools off or the line drastically adjusts.
That’s my favorite NBA player prop for Knicks at Pacers! Stay tuned for more picks next week.
