MIL vs IND Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
Bobby Portis Over 13.5 Points (-110)
Bobby Portis has been a consistent scoring threat against Indiana, averaging 15.5 PPG on 50.0% shooting this series. He’s hit at least 14 points in three of four games while playing 29.0 minutes per contest. His floor spacing (50% from three vs. IND) and rebounding presence keep him involved in nearly every half-court set, making this a well-supported over play.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 6.5 Assists (-160)
Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 7.5 assists per game vs. the Pacers in four regular-season meetings, thriving as a facilitator. With Damian Lillard unavailable, he could unlock more of his playmaking skills tonight. In addition to his regular season scoring (30.0 PPG on 64.9% FG vs IND), his ability to create for others has been critical. He’s logged at least six assists in three of four games in this series and is averaging 35.5 minutes over his last 10, ensuring plenty of opportunity to go over again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo First Field Goal Scorer +450
The Bucks lean heavily on Giannis to set the tone, and he’s shooting a blistering 62.2% against Indiana in the series. With no Lillard, the opening possession will likely go through Giannis via transition, post touch, or isolation. At +450, bettors are targeting his elite usage rate and finishing ability to strike first in a must-win spot.

Kevin Porter Jr. Over 14.5 Points -120
Kevin Porter averaged 12.5 PPG vs. Indiana in the regular season, but that’s across just 18 minutes per game, and he’s shooting 41.7% from the field with 33.3% from deep. Over his last 10 games, he’s putting up 16.4 PPG in nearly 25 minutes, and with Lillard out, he’s a candidate for expanded volume. After Dame went down early in Game 4, Porter went on to log his most time of the series with 33 minutes played. If he sees around 30 minutes again, this becomes a high-value target.
Andrew Nembhard Under 15.5 Total Points and Rebounds -105
Andrew Nembhard is averaging 9.7 PPG and 2.3 RPG vs. Milwaukee in three regular season meetings — a combined 12.0 points and boards well under the line. Despite playing 31 minutes per game in the series, he hasn’t consistently hit the glass and faces a Bucks front line that includes Portis and Giannis. Unless he posts a significant scoring spike, this under is backed by series-long trends.
