Three more games on Tuesday night help move forward the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Each of the home teams won the first game, putting even more pressure on the Suns, Pacers and Mavericks. Injury still clouds the night; Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful for the Bucks, and Kawhi Leonard is now a game-time decision for the Clippers. With plenty of drama and possibly a season or two on the line, it sounds like a perfect night to sweep an Underdog entry.

Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick’em Predictions Today
Tyrese Haliburton H/L Than 0.5 Double-Doubles
This is basically it for the Pacers. Giannis is doubtful but inching closer to a return, still not officially ruled out for the remainder of this series. Down 0-1, Indiana will have to lean on both Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, especially if it wants to tie the series. While Siakam handled the majority of the workload, at least from a scoring standpoint, Haliburton was a little quieter in the 15-point loss.
We know the secondary stats like rebounds and assists will be there for Haliburton, so the key is getting some more points on the board. The Bucks being without their best player means they need to focus more on the Pacers top player; right now that’s Siakam. We expect a tougher turnout for Siakam, which should open another opportunity or two to get 10 points out of Haliburton.
The easiest way for Haliburton to hit the 10-points side of a double-double is on the free throw line. He was held without an attempt in Game 1, and that should change tonight with a more aggressive approach. The implied odds for NBA pick’em tool allows us to find great value, a 3% EV edge and a way to build profit over time.
Underdog Fantasy Pick’em Prediction: Tyrese Haliburton HIGHER Than 0.5 Double-Doubles
Jaden McDaniels H/L Than 10.5 Points
The Timberwolves got 38 quality minutes from Jaden McDaniels in a convincing win over the Phoenix Suns. He still finished below the above points total, mainly due to availability of shots. While the Suns have their backs to the wall, not much should change with McDaniels’ productivity.
We already saw him play a massive number of minutes in a blowout where he still isn’t a scoring option. While he could technically knock down another shot or two, we see the major correlation of scoring more points coming down to 3-point shots.
On nights where he does beat this total, McDaniels is knocking down 3’s. On nights where he misses the mark, it’s due to missing from deep.
We still get a slight edge over the market, making this another +EV play for our entry. The implied odds being -122, we beat the -126 true market price. Even a small edge helps us build profit.
