Jarrett Allen Under 26.5 Total Points, Rebounds & Assists (-125)
While Jarrett Allen remains a core piece of Cleveland’s frontcourt, his PRA totals have remained modest, particularly against Indiana. In four regular-season games vs the Pacers, he averaged just 16.3 PRA (7.5 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.8 APG). His playoff averages sit at 24.5 PRA, still under this line. With Indiana’s paint presence and Allen’s limited playmaking role, the under offers value.

Bennedict Mathurin Under 3.5 Rebounds (-145)
Rebounding has never been a major part of Bennedict Mathurin’s game, and that trend continues in the playoffs. He’s grabbing just 2.5 RPG in the postseason, a dip from his 5.3 RPG regular season average. More tellingly, he averaged only 3.3 boards in three meetings with the Cavs. This prop leans on consistent underperformance, making the under a logical choice.

Jarrett Allen Under 13.5 Points (-125)
Scoring has been inconsistent for Allen in this series, and history suggests a ceiling. He averaged 7.5 PPG across four regular-season matchups with Indiana and 14.0 PPG in the current playoff run. That average is barely over this line, and with Cleveland’s scoring load skewed toward perimeter players, Allen may again be limited offensively.
Max Strus Under 5.5 Rebounds (-115)
Max Strus has been reliable on the glass, but this number may be a touch too high. He averaged 4.3 RPG in the regular season and just 4.0 RPG in two games vs. Indiana. Although he’s posting 5.5 RPG in the playoffs, his role fluctuates game to game, and Indiana’s spacing may pull him away from rebound-heavy areas.
Donovan Mitchell Under 32.5 Total Points and Rebounds (-110)
Donovan Mitchell has been carrying Cleveland’s offensive burden, but regression could be due. He’s averaged 28.9 PPG and 4.1 RPG in the playoffs, totaling 33.0, just over the line. However, his rebounding has dipped from the regular season (5.0 RPG), and his margin is razor-thin. If Indiana aggressively forces the ball out of his hands, this under may cash.
