Indiana caught the wave: Haliburton conducts, Turner and Nesmith tear up the defense, Siakam and Maturin add fire. Their victory in the second match on the road is a signal that they are ready for a sensation. The home parquet and the roar of the stands are their trump card. Cleveland is in trouble: without Garland, their offense is losing its rhythm, and it's very difficult for the defense to stop the Pacers' leaders. Mitchell is a volcano, but he can't pull it off alone. The BCH bookmakers still believe in the Cavs, but the Pacers will definitely give a real fight.
Our betting tip is that Indiana will win with a handicap of (+4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.71
Bet on the total
The Indiana and Cleveland games are like basketball fireworks. They scored 230 points in the first two games of the series, and the Pacers average 118 points in the playoffs, while the Cavs score 122. Without Garland, Cleveland may slow down, but Mitchell and Allen will still shoot. Indiana will turn on her running style at home, and Haliburton and Turner will put on a show. The 230.5 point line is like an invitation to a spectacle. We are waiting for the teams to break through this total again with a margin.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 230.5 points, including overtime in 1.97
The bet on the player
Haliburton is Indiana's conductor and the playoff leader in assists with 10.7 assists per game. In only two of the seven games, he did not shoot ten passes, and in the second match of the current series, he gave only four assists — this is like a temporary glitch in the program. The Olympic champion of Paris, at the age of 25, is ready to light up the home parquet. Against a weakened Cleveland defense without Garland, he'll put on a real show, handing out passes like hot cakes.
Our betting tip is a total more than Haliburton 11.5 assists per 1.87
