T.J. McConnell Steals Prop is currently Over/Under 0.5 (-135/+114).
The money has been on the Over as it opened 0.5 @ -115 before it was bet up to 0.5 @ -135.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:
T.J. McConnell has averaged 1.0 steals per game this year, putting him among the best players in the NBA by this metric: 85th percentile.
The 2nd-most up-tempo pace team in the NBA this year has been the Pacers.
FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:
The Indiana Pacers are expected to experience a decrease in plays in this game from sharing the court with the 2nd-slowest pace home offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Milwaukee Bucks).
T.J. McConnell will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing without the home court advantage usually worsens player performance for all stats.
