MIL PG Kevin Porter Jr. to Score 20+ Points (+1060) @ Indiana Pacers

Porter closed out the regular season in style, scoring 20+ points in four of his final five games — an absolute mouthwatering value if he can keep it going in the postseason.
He will continue to be a crucial offensive piece, with star point guard Damian Lillard still working his way back from deep vein thrombosis.
Indiana ranked in the league’s bottom half in points allowed per game (115.1) during the regular season and played at the seventh-fastest pace.

Leonard has cleared this line in two of his past three games, including a seven-assist performance against the Warriors in the regular season finale.
Denver allowed the second-most assists per game to opponents during the regular season.

Cunningham enjoyed the best season of his career and enters the postseason on an absolute tear, scoring 35+ points in three straight games and four of his past five, including a 36-point outing against the Knicks.
He has scored at least 35 points in back-to-back meetings against New York.
The Knicks allowed the fifth-most points per game to opposing point guards during the regular season.

Gobert averaged 12.0 PPG during the regular season.
He has topped this mark in nine of his past 11 games, averaging 18.5 PPG over that stretch.
Gobert should have his way against a Lakers frontcourt that has struggled defensively following the departure of Anthony Davis.
