Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks Game 5 Prediction
Ben Sheppard has been playing extremely well, especially for a rookie, in this series against the Knicks. His teammates TJ McConnell and Tyrese Haliburton had great things to say about him after the game. Haliburton said, “what I think Ben does so well….he just sees how hard TJ plays and the energy he brings and just tries to flow off of that and match that and I think thats where he’s been so good and just being ready to shoot.”
He has taken 5+ shot attempts in every game this series. When he has 5+ attempts he has cleared this line in 80% of games averaging 9.7 points and rebounds. He has played between 16-20 minutes in every game this series which we can expect to be the case in Game 5. When he plays 16+ Minutes he has 7+ PR in 77% of games.
In the playoffs we’ve seen Sheppard go over 6.5 points and rebounds in nine of ten games with the one miss landing on six and he shot 20% from the field. In the road playoff games, he has recorded 11, ten, 11, 11, and seven points and rebounds. Expecting this trend to continue in Game 5 and for him to clear this number for his tenth playoff game in 11 tries.
