Bucks vs Pacers Best Bet: Pacers ML +112
The Pacers enter this matchup as the underdogs despite being on their home court, where they have a 19-9 record on the year. Despite their solid home record, the Bucks have won both of the first two matchups against Indiana this season, which puts more stock in a Bucks win for bettors. However, Indiana is quietly returning to full health, and the Bucks injury report continues to see players pop up nightly. Assuming Rick Carlisle’s squad shows up looking to make a statement against the team they knocked out of the postseason last year, I’ll take the odds the Pacers protect their home court.
Bucks vs Pacers Best Total Bet: Over 234.5
Both teams can score points quickly, resulting in high-scoring games this season. The first matchup ended with a total of 236 total points scored, and the second ended just shy at 232. However, this time around, in front of the fans at Gainbridge FieldHouse, give me the young Pacers to come out swinging while utilizing their fast-tempo offense to lead them to a win with a final score of 124-118 as a realistic outcome.
Bucks Best Player Bet: Damian Lillard 4+ Made Threes +116
Damian Lillard has looked to be the perfect scoring option alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo this season, averaging 25.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds up to this point. The guard continues to shoot the ball efficiently from deep, hitting 37.8% of his shots from beyond the arc. Assuming Lillard carries the scoring load on Tuesday with the Pacers prioritizing slowing down Antetokounmpo, I’ll take the odds that the Bucks star has a big night from downtown.
Pacers Best Player Bet: Tyrese Haliburton 20+ Points Scored +120
Tyrese Haliburton hasn’t scored 20+ points in either of the two matchups against Milwaukee this season, but both came toward the beginning of the season when the guard was dealing with injuries and not looking like himself. Lately, the Iowa State product has turned things around, as he looks like the star guard the Pacers were eager to build around. Coming off a 28-point night in his last game, I like the chance Haliburton has another strong night on Tuesday.
