We are getting creative for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. I considered some other looks but ultimately fell in love with this one. The books did a great job at pricing props in this game, but this is one I really like. TJ McConnell may not be a starter, but he’s a valuable asset on Indiana who will be needed to come in and take some playmaking duties off of Haliburton.
TJ has hit this prop in 8 of 10 games during these playoffs and hit in all 5 games against Cleveland in the last round. He may only see 4 minutes or so, but he is a gifted passer and should be a calm vet running the offense in what will likely be a loud and rowdy MSG. We’ve been hot with our NBA player prop bets all season long and I want to keep it that way for Game 1 of Pacers vs Knicks. Let’s roll!
