Pacers vs Cavaliers NBA Same Game Parlay Picks Today, May, Sunday 4

What better way to kick back this weekend than with the start of round two of the NBA playoffs? The Indiana Pacers breezed past Milwaukee, but now they’re facing the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA lines favor the Cavaliers, but don’t forget that Indiana beat them in the last two meetings.
With that in mind, we need to decide if we think Indiana can pull off another upset, or will Cleveland get its payback at home? Let’s break down the NBA parlay odds and see who’s got the edge in Sunday’s Game 1.

-
Leg 1: Cleveland Cavaliers ATS -8
Yes, Indiana won the last two meetings, but this is the playoffs, so everything changes. Don’t get me wrong, the Pacers will score here and there, maybe spark a quick run, but they don’t have the firepower to hang with Cleveland’s offensive depth or handle the Cavaliers’ defensive pressure for four full quarters. In other words, for my NBA picks today, I’m laying the points on the Cavaliers to handle business at home.

Leg 2: Pacers vs. Cavaliers Over 229.5 Points
Both teams have been lighting it up from the field, and with that kind of momentum on both sides, I’m taking the over for more NBA prop betting action.

— Cleveland Cavaliers (@cavs) May 1, 2025
Sure, Cleveland’s defense is more than likely to crank up the pressure early, but I’m confident Indiana will chip in just enough offensively to help push this one past the 229-point mark.
Bet on Pacers vs. Cavaliers Over 229.5 (-110)
-
Leg 3: Pacers G T.J. McConnell Over 7.5 Points (-121)
Diving deeper into my NBA parlay picks lineup, I’m counting on PG T.J. McConnell to look for his own shot and finish with over 7.5 points. Think about it: Cleveland will be locked onto guard Tyrese Haliburton, which opens the door for others to step up – and lately, that’s been McConnell. He’s coming off consecutive 15+ point games, and I like his odds of coming out hungry and looking to score.
Bet on TJ McConnell Over 7.5 Points (-121)
-
Leg 4: Pacers G Andrew Nembhard Under 1.5 Threes (-176)
Still need more NBA prop picks today? Bet on guard Andrew Nembhard to finish with under 1.5 3-pointers. Sure, he gave Milwaukee problems, but against Cleveland this season? He’s been colder than a breakup text, hitting just 3-of-11 from 3-point territory. Factor in the Cavs’ defense holding opponents to 34.6% from long range this postseason, and I’m expecting Nembhard to struggle for clean looks and stay iced from beyond the arc.
Bet on Andrew Nembhard Under 1.5 Threes (-176)
