Best Thunder vs Pacers Player Prop Bet: Alex Caruso over 1.5 first-quarter points (-136)

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

When Josh Giddey was moved for Alex Caruso, it was for games like this. Caruso is coming off a tough Game 5 where he shot 1-of-8 from the field. With that being said, he has been ultra aggressive in the 1st quarter and I don’t expect that to change in Game 6. Caruso has hit this prop in 4-of-5 games in the NBA Finals, and he took 4 and 3 first-quarter field-goal attempts in his last 2 games. Five minutes appears to be Caruso’s floor in the opening quarter and all we need is 1 made field goal or a couple of free throws. Let’s roll with a hot start from Caruso for our Thunder vs Pacers player prop.
