Andrew Nembhard Under 12.5 Points (-120)
Andrew Nembhard has been Indiana’s postseason breakout, averaging 16.3 PPG so far in these playoffs. However, bettors are backing the under based on long-term context. He averaged just 10.0 PPG in the regular season and only 8.5 PPG in four meetings with Cleveland this year. With Game 2 likely a defensive grind, the public expects a regression from Nembhard’s current pace.

Pascal Siakam Under 1.5 Three-pointers Made (-200)
Despite a solid 38.9% three-point clip during the regular season, Pascal Siakam isn’t typically a high-volume perimeter shooter. He hit just 1.0 three per game in three matchups vs Cleveland this season and is averaging 1.7 made threes in the playoffs on a hot 43.5%. Still, the Cavs’ defense has been particularly effective at limiting clean looks from beyond the arc, and Siakam’s efficiency may not hold against their close-outs. The juiced -200 price hasn’t stopped bettors from hammering the under.

Bennedict Mathurin Under 9.5 Points (+100)
Bennedict Mathurin’s minutes and role have fluctuated this postseason, and bettors are fading his scoring potential in Game 2. He’s averaging just 10.4 PPG in the playoffs, after putting up 16.1 PPG in the regular season. His numbers were solid in three regular-season meetings with Cleveland (14.7 PPG). Still, with reduced usage off the bench, many expect another single-digit scoring night, making the under at plus-money appealing.
Darius Garland Under 27.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-120)
Darius Garland has not played since Game 2 of the first-round series due to a toe injury and remains questionable for tonight. Even if active, limited minutes or reduced explosiveness could lead to diminished stats. He averaged 20.6 PPG, 6.7 APG, and 2.9 RPG in the regular season, and posted 24.0 PPG, 7.0 APG, and 2.0 RPG in his two playoff games before injury. Despite efficient past production, the public is skeptical about Garland’s ability to hit his usual stat lines in his potential return.
Donovan Mitchell Under 5.5 Rebounds (-175)
Donovan Mitchell’s rebounding dipped in the postseason, where he’s averaging just 3.6 RPG, despite grabbing 6.0 RPG in two regular-season games vs. Indiana. The under is drawing significant handle, likely due to Cleveland’s focus on defensive rebounding from their frontcourt and Mitchell’s perimeter-based offensive role. At a juiced -175, the public sees this as a high-confidence under.
