Best Pacers vs Knicks player prop bet: Andrew Nembhard (IND) Under 4.5 assists (-140)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
We easily cashed Andrew Nembhard under 8.5 rebounds+assists in Game 4, as Nembhard finished with 5 R+A and logged another low-usage game. So we’re going right back to fading Nembhard and his assists, as DraftKings is offering under 4.5 assists at 26 cents cheaper than FanDuel.
Nembhard registered 3 assists in Game 4 on just 2 opportunities. He continues to rank behind Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner in usage. Jalen Brunson was not the primary defender on Nembhard in Game 4, meaning the Pacers aren’t hunting that matchup. Tonight should be another game where Nembhard is taking a backseat to virtually everybody on the court in terms of playmaking.
