Pascal Siakam has started with 30, 23 and 21 points. If you’re backing Indiana in Milwaukee tonight, his 20-point alternate follows that early scoring without asking him to raise the bar.
Aaron Nesmith reaching ten and Andrew Nembhard reaching 12 give these Pacers parlay picks two more ways in. Both come at lighter prices than Siakam, and each has a different reason to deserve a look.
For Side & Support, an Indiana win is the starting point. We then compare the player contributions that have often accompanied Pacers victories, keeping the cost and the returning Tyrese Haliburton’s effect on this offense in view.
Three props to weigh with a Pacers win
The records below cover each player’s appearances for his current team since the start of the 2025–26 season, including the playoffs.
| Player & prop | Odds | Indiana wins | All games |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pascal Siakam 20+ points Pacers · since 2025–26 |

80.0% 52 of 65 games |
| Aaron Nesmith 10+ points Pacers · since 2025–26 |
−153 | 90.9% 10 of 11 Pacers wins |
66.0% 31 of 47 games |

Pascal Siakam: 20+ points
Siakam’s 20+ points line is −278 at DraftKings. Since the start of the 2025–26 season, he’s reached 20 in 18 of 19 Indiana wins, compared with 52 of 65 appearances overall.
All three games this season have cleared it, including the 23-point outing in a loss to Dallas. In Sunday’s win at Brooklyn he scored 21 in 26 minutes, so this line didn’t require him to play deep into the night.
The lone winning miss was an 11-point game in January. Nineteen victories give us a useful comparison, while the wider record includes thirteen games below 20. Eight of his last ten games overall have reached the mark.
Aaron Nesmith: 10+ points
Nesmith’s ten-point alternate is −153, the lowest price of the three. He’s reached double figures in ten of the eleven Pacers wins he’s appeared in since the start of last season; the overall record is 31 of 47.
He scored 13 in Sunday’s win after finishing with nine in the loss to Dallas. Those are his two appearances this season, and they came in 19 and 20 minutes. Ten points is a modest request, but his playing time is a meaningful part of the decision.
The only winning miss in this window was six points in January. That strong split deserves a look, with eleven wins giving us much less to go on than a full season of nightly results would.
Andrew Nembhard: 12+ points
Nembhard’s 12+ scoring alternate is −256. He’s reached it in all fifteen Indiana wins he’s played in since the start of the 2025–26 season, compared with 48 of 60 appearances overall.
His opening totals are 18, 16 and 14, so the requirement has also held up in the first three games with Haliburton back. Sunday’s 14 points came alongside just three assists—a useful example of why his scoring and passing lines deserve separate consideration.
Last season’s offense operated without Haliburton, so those fifteen wins aren’t a perfect copy of tonight’s setup. The current scoring is encouraging, while a perfect historical winning record still leaves twelve misses in the wider all-game sample.
Pacers parlay picks: choosing your support
Siakam combines the strongest winning record with three opening games above his line. Nesmith offers the lightest price, with a thinner winning sample and fewer recent minutes. Nembhard sits between them on cost and has kept scoring in the returning backcourt.
These options all ask for Indiana points, so using more than one puts more of your ticket behind the same offense. Compare the actual SGP quote and decide how much scoring support you want alongside the Pacers win.
