Mitchell Robinson has been a stellar contributor off the bench for the New York Knicks in the postseason, and I don’t expect that to change in Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers have their own stud backup big man in Thomas Bryant, and Robinson’s strong play will be needed off the bench to counter him. The Pacers’ defense offers a favorable matchup for Robinson. Indiana has allowed the third-most rebounds, fourth-most points and seventh-most paint points. Take the Over on this modest line.

Tyrese Haliburton has failed to record a double-double in each of his last four games, but unlike a slot machine that’s been eating your twenties all night, he’s due for a hit. Haliburton racked up 17 double-doubles across his final 20 regular season games, and game script contributed to his lack of double-doubles in recent outings. I expect him to score and facilitate at a high level in this one, and I love the plus-money odds on this combo prop, which have gotten longer since opening at +130.
