Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Pacers vs. Nets (Trust Tyrese Haliburton Once Again)
By Peter Dewey
The Brooklyn Nets are looking to get back on track on Monday as major favorites against the Indiana Pacers.
Sound familiar?
That’s because it is, as Indiana upset the Nets in Brooklyn on Saturday with a similar line.
I have a pick for this game, but what about some props as well? Here are three to consider for Nets-Pacers on Halloween:
Pacers vs. Nets Best NBA Prop Bets
- Indiana Pacers +2.5 First Quarter Spread vs. Brooklyn Nets
- Tyrese Haliburton OVER 34.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
- Myles Turner OVER 2.5 Steals and Blocks
Indiana Pacers +2.5 First Quarter Spread vs. Brooklyn Nets
Neither of these teams has been solid in the first quarter this season, ranking in the bottom 10 in the league in scoring, but Brooklyn is just a hair worse at 28th in the league, averaging just 24.2 points per first quarter.
Brooklyn’s starting lineup entered the past weekend with the worst net rating in the NBA, and then the Nets lost outright to this Pacers team on Saturday.
The Nets starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Royce O’Neale, Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons and Nic Clayton is currently the worst performing lineup in the NBA, with a net rating of -31.7.

I’ll gladly take the points with Indiana early in this game.
Tyrese Haliburton OVER 34.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists
Tyrese Haliburton is putting up All-Star caliber numbers for the Pacers this season, averaging 23.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game. He’s cleared this total in all but one game this season.
On Saturday, Haliburton torched the Nets’ league worst defense for 26 points, six boards and eight dimes, and I could see him putting together a very similar stat line on Monday night.
Myles Turner OVER 2.5 Steals and Blocks
Myles Turner is working his way back from an ankle injury and actually missed the team’s game on Saturday for rest.
However, in his first two appearances this season, Turner put up five steals and blocks in each game. Last season, he averaged 2.8 blocks per game and he’s led the NBA twice in that category.
I wouldn't be shocked if Turner clears this number on blocks alone on Monday night.
