Haliburton Leads The Way For Indiana (+150)
Although legal NBA betting sites continue to count out the Pacers, they keep winning games courtesy of Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton averages 26.5 points, 14 assists, and 8.5 rebounds in the NBA In-Season Tournament outside of group play.
The Pacers defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks 128-119 as a 5.5-point underdog in the In-Season Tournament semifinals. Before that, they beat the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat as 4.5-point underdogs.
Indiana is a valuable underdog once again with +150 odds to win the NBA In-Season Tournament against the Lakers.

The Lakers crushed the New Orleans Pelicans 133-89 in their semifinals matchup, covering well past the 2.0-point spread in their favor. If Los Angeles can shoot 54.7% from the floor again, the Lakers have solid value at legal online sportsbooks to win the NBA In-Season Tournament with -175 odds.
