Top players props in Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks (2024 NBA Playoffs Game 1)
No. 10: Aaron Nesmith Rebounds: Under 4.5 (-130)
Nesmith averaged 3.8 rebounds in the regular season and 2.4 rebounds in the five games against the Milwaukee Bucks this season. Given the stats, it seems probable that Nesmith will stay under the 4.5 line.
No. 9: Damian Lillard Points: Under 29.5 (-122)
Given that Damian Lillard has averaged just 20.3 points in the four games he played with the Bucks against the Indiana Pacers in the regular season, it seems unlikely that he'll cross the 29.5 line.
The highest he scored against them in the season was 24 points, which is also close to his season average of 24.3 points.
No. 8: Miles Turner Rebounds: Over 6.5 (-128)
Averaging 6.9 rebounds overall in the regular season and 7.2 rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks in the five games played in the season, Miles Turner is anticipated to replicate his rebounding stats in the upcoming game.
No. 7: Miles Turner Points: Over 16.5 (-103)
The Indiana Pacers' center has been consistent with his scoring in all five games against the Bucks in the regular season, averaging 19.4 points per game. Turner has also averaged 17.1 points in the season and is anticipated to remain consistent with his performances in the upcoming matches.
No. 6: Khris Middleton Points: Under 20.5 (-111)
Middleton scored 21 points as his highest and averaged 18.6 points in the five games against the Indiana Pacers in the regular season. Moreover, given his 15.1 points per game this season, it seems unlikely that Middleton will go over the 20.5 line.
No. 5: Brook Lopez Rebounds: Under 5.5 (-112)
Lopez averaged 5.2 rebounds in the regular season, which is just shy of the line. Moreover, in the five games the Milwaukee Bucks played against the Indiana Pacers in the regular season, Lopez has crossed the line just once with six rebounds. He has averaged 4.0 rebounds against the Pacers this season.
No. 4: Tyrese Haliburton Points + Rebounds: Over 24.5 (-111)
The Milwaukee Bucks' defense has been lit up by the league's lead guards this season, which includes Tyrese Haliburton. In five games against the Bucks this season, Haliburton averaged 27.0 points, 11.0 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Moreover, if the Bucks' two-time DPOY Giannis Antetokounmpo is ruled out for the game, Haliburton is anticipated to put on a show and cross the 24.5 line with relative ease.
No. 3: Damian Lillard Made 3s: Under 3.5 (-125)
Though the reigning three-point champion is highly efficient with his flashy threes from deep, Damian Lillard's play is different when actual defenders are involved. He averaged 3.0 threes made in the season and will be particularly limited against the Indiana Pacers, who lead the league in limiting the three-pointers allowed per game.
No. 2: Malik Beasley Points: Over 7.5 (-125)
With Giannis Antetokounmpo possibly out for the game, the Bucks will require more from their bench to offset the loss. Malik Beasley is anticipated to come in with added minutes to contribute more. Having averaged 11.3 points per game in the regular season, Beasley may make a sizeable contribution against the Pacers, who allow the most points to shooting guards.
No. 1: Tyrese Haliburton Points + Rebounds + Assists: Over 35.5 (-104)
The Milwaukee Bucks' defense allowed a combined average of 41.11 points, rebounds, and assists to point guards in the season. Leading the NBA in assists with 10.9 assists per game, Tyrese Haliburton will look to run the show and is anticipated to capitalize on the Bucks defense, which will possibly be without Antetokounmpo, to lead the Pacers' offensive prowess.
