Back over 0.5 steals for this stat-stuffing role player in Game 4 of the NBA Finals

Sometimes the best value on the board isn’t about stars or stat-stuffers—it’s about energy, momentum, and impact in short spurts. That’s where T.J. McConnell shines.

T.J. McConnell Over 0.5 Steals (+105, DraftKings)

McConnell has quietly been a defensive menace off the bench in these Finals, recording 1, 2, and 5 steals through the first three games—easily cashing this prop each time. His disruptive Game 3, featuring multiple steals on inbounds plays, was a reminder of just how chaotic he can be in limited minutes, especially with the home crowd behind him.

Despite averaging just 16.6 minutes per game in the series, McConnell leads all Pacers with 3.3 deflections per game. That’s a testament to his nonstop motor, elite anticipation, and defensive instincts. He’s hit this line in 62 of 98 games this season (63.3%) and Indiana continues to lean on his hustle to rattle OKC’s backcourt rhythm. At plus money, this is a sharp way to bet on impact without volume.
