Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers (7:00pm, EST)

Indiana Pacers Team Total Under 108.5 (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

With Tyrese Haliburton out for the year with an injury, the Indiana Pacers have severely underwhelmed on offense, fielding a lineup who ranks near the bottom of the board in Adjusted Offensive Rating.

Their lack of production on offense brings in a high amount of negative variance into their contests, making it hard for them to match their opposition’s output which keeps them behind on the scoreboard.

Heading into Tuesday night, expect the Pacers struggles on offense to continue to persist as they face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves who rank in the top-10 in Defensive Efficiency and in Opposing Effective Field Goal Percentage.

Especially with the Pacers incapable of countering them in the interior, allowing the Timberwolves to stretch out their coverage to help smother their shot attempts at every level of the court.

Rudy Gobert Over 10.5 Rebounds (-125) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even after the acquisition of Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert has still been able to haul in boards at a high rate, averaging 11.5 Rebounds per game.

With the Pacers running a four out style of offense, this will pull Randle out to the perimeter, allowing Gobert to combat against fewer bodies in the paint which will lead to an uptick in his total number of Rebound Opportunities.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Lakers (10:30pm, EST)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 29.5 Points (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

After winning the MVP award last year, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on pace to win it again this season, averaging 31.4 Points per game while shooting 38.3% from three and 55.2% from the field.

With Oklahoma City’s offense running through SGA, the Thunder have turned into a formidable contender capable of making another run at the championship, ranking sixth overall in Offensive Efficiency.

In a highly anticipated matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, SGA will be able to build on his momentum as he faces off against a defense who ranks well below league average in Opposing True Shooting Percentage.

For some more exposure, escalator bet SGA’s Points prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate overs.

Chet Holmgren Over 1.5 Three Pointers Made (+145) at FanDuel Sportsbook

When SGA is able to pull defensive attention to the middle, Chet Holmgren has been able to take advantage of the extra space around the perimeter, converting 35.6% of his shot attempts from three.

With the Lakers forced to shade their coverage to help slow down the reigning MVP, Holmgren will be able to generate a higher volume of shot attempts from deep, increasing his chances of clearing the over on his Three Pointers Made prop.

Houston Rockets vs Phoenix Suns (11:00pm, EST)

Phoenix Suns Team Total Under 109.5 (-110) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After going 8-2 in their last ten games, the Houston Rockets odds of securing home court advantage for the first round of the playoffs have steadily grown, sitting just one game back from the Lakers for fourth in the Western Conference standings.

Their high level of play on defense has played a major role in their success, ranking in the top-5 in Defensive Efficiency.

Fortunately for the Rockets, their defense will be able to thrive on Tuesday night by bottling up a Phoenix Suns offense who ranks in the bottom half of the board in Adjusted Defensive Rating.

Especially with Mark Williams incapable of stretching out their coverage, allowing the Rockets to shade their guards towards the middle to help contest the Suns shot attempts in the interior for the full duration of the contest.
