The New York Knicks travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face the Indiana Pacers for Game 3, and we're offering our top Knicks vs. Pacers player props based on the best NBA odds.

The New York Knicks (50-32) have demonstrated impressive resilience while securing comeback victories in the first two games of their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers (47-35), now leading the series 2-0. They're set to face the Pacers in Game 3 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. ET and airing on ESPN.

Surprisingly, despite trailing in the series, the Pacers are favored by 7.5 points across our best sports betting sites to secure a win against the Knicks in Game 3. To emerge victorious, Indiana must find a way to contain Jalen Brunson, whose outstanding performances have elevated his status in the 2024 NBA Finals MVP odds race.

Along with our Nuggets vs. Timberwolves player props and NBA best bets for Friday, here are our best Knicks vs. Pacers player props and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Knicks vs. Pacers prop bet predictions for Thursday

Jalen Brunson Over 35.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Knicks fans across the country, basketball purists, and those who just wanted to see something special collectively held their breath when Brunson exited Game 2 with a foot injury. For a brief moment, hopes and dreams across the Big Apple had been dashed.

But then Brunson rose from the ashes like Willis Reed (Google it) for the second half and proceeded to score 24 points and lead the Knicks to a win. Though he didn't hit the Over on his point total for the first time in his last six games, he likely would have if not for the injury.

So here I am again, taking the Over on Brunson confidently, knowing the Pacers have no answers for the man averaging 35.6 points in these playoffs. The odds imply a 52.61% probability he'll hit the Over, according to our odds calculator, with a $10 bet paying out $19.01.

Donte DiVincenzo Over 3.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐

With the way Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo are playing for the Knicks, I'm starting to think Jay Wright should have won more than two national championships at Villanova with these guys. Or maybe they just needed Tom Thibodeau screaming at them like a banshee from the sidelines to motivate them?

Regardless, DiVincenzo has been a perfect complement to Brunson lately. He's averaging 25.3 points over his last three games and while going 16-for-30 from behind the arc (53.3%). "The Big Ragu" should be getting the Tommy DeVito treatment in New York for how he's attacked the Pacers' uninspiring defense. 

These odds are short, but it's actually an outlier price from FanDuel. Our other best sportsbooks have this prop no longer than -150 and as short as -169. The -169 odds imply a 62.83% probability it hits with our odds paying out $17.25.

Best odds: -138 via FanDuel

Pascal Siakam Under 33.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐

The Pacers are about as sporadic as Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. At any given moment, anything could happen. That boom-or-bust style has led to a few impressive games in the first-round series win against the Milwaukee Bucks ... and a couple stinkers against the Knicks.

Indiana's three stars - Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner - have been at the heart of the inconsistent play. Siakam has especially been struggling lately while averaging just 25.3 points, rebounds, and assists over his last six playoff games.

This Knicks' defense, which ranked second in points allowed this season (108.2), hasn't budged against Siakam. The odds imply a 53.49% probability the Under hits with a $10 bet cashing an $8.70 profit.

Best odds: -115 via FanDuel
