Tyrese Haliburton best bet
Over 9.5 assists (-135 at bet365)
Despite handing out 15 dimes in Game 4 and averaging 11 in the ECF, Tyrese Haliburton’s assists line is a modest 9.5 and can be had at reasonable -135 odds.
Hali is averaging 9.8 assists per game in the playoffs and dished out at least 10 in eight of 14 postseason appearances.
Haliburton averaged 11.1 assists across his final 20 regular-season games, and he recorded double-digit assists in 17 of them. That end-of-season momentum has carried over into the playoffs.
Indiana’s star PG has averaged 9.3 assists per game at home in the playoffs and 10.3 on the road. He’s hit the Over on this line in five of seven road games in the postseason and finished with at least 10 dimes in three of four games this series.
No team moves the ball better than the Indiana Pacers, and in the 2025 playoffs, Indiana ranks first in assist percentage at a whopping 66.1, second in offensive rating at 118.4, and third in pace.
This game could be another fast-paced, high-scoring affair: similar to Game 4's 251 points and Game 1's 273 points. Haliburton recorded at least 11 assists in both outings.
Tyrese Haliburton same-game parlay
Over 9.5 assists
Over 21.5 points
Over 4.5 rebounds
Haliburton is averaging 17.7 points at home and 21.1 on the road during this postseason run. He’s recorded at least 22 points in five of his last 10 overall and has been excellent as a scorer in his last two closeout games — going for 26 in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks and 31 in Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Haliburton averaged just 3.5 boards during the regular season, marking his lowest tally in that category since his rookie campaign. In the playoffs, however, he’s been great on the glass.
Hali has pulled down 5.9 boards per game, grabbing at least five boards in five of seven road games in the playoffs. He’s reached that mark in two of his last three games in this series, and I expect him to do it again.
