It’s do-or-die time for the Milwaukee Bucks as they try to win their first game in the NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns.

Game 3 tips off at 8.00 pm on ABC and after landing our same game parlay in Game 1, we attempt to do so yet again on Sunday’s contest.

Over 222 Total Points (-110)

Chris Paul Under 2.5 Threes (-200)

Khris Middleton Over 24.5 Points (+100)

Jae Crowder Over 12.5 Points (+188)

Parlay odds: +1160

Over 222 Total Points (-110)

Phoenix has been on fire over the first two games, they shot 47.7 percent and drained a record 20 three-pointers in Game 2. Milwaukee’s only chance of beating them is to outscore them and they haven’t performed as well on that side of the ball so far through two games. That should change with the series shifting to Milwaukee. They ranked third in shooting percentage during the regular season, so they are a proven bunch when it comes to scoring the ball. These two teams have gone over the total in their last six meetings, which is always a good sign when betting on the over.

Read our full game preview for Game 3 of Phoenix Suns vs Milwaukee Bucks.

Chris Paul Under 2.5 Threes (-200)

Paul has shot the ball surprisingly well from three-point land in recent games. He has made 14 of his last 20 attempts which is pretty good for a player averaging just 1.5 made threes this season. He has to cool off at some point, right? Well, this is the perfect game for that to happen. The Suns are playing away and after 20 made threes in Game 2 the Bucks will definitely make adjustments and defend the perimeter better. Prior to this hot streak Paul went 22 straight games with two or less made threes, so you could say the recent hot streak has been a fluke.

Khris Middleton Over 24.5 Points (+100)

Pressure is on Middleton to deliver in Game 3 after his sub-par performance on Thursday. The good news for him his team is back playing home where he feels more comfortable and he has the stats to back that claim up. His field-goal percentage is six percent better at home than on the road. Same goes for his three-point percentage which improves from 35 percent to 44.5 percent. His eFG percentage is eight percent better. He only had 11 points on Thursday, but before that he went over his total in three straight games. The Bucks will need everyone to step it up a notch at home if they want to avoid going down 3-0 in this series. Expect at least 25 points from Middleton.

Jae Crowder Over 12.5 Points (+188)

Phoenix might have to shorten its rotation a bit after Torrey Craig’s injury scare in Game 2, he has been listed as questionable for Sundays matchup. Dario Saric is already out after his ACL tear, so players like Crowder are expected to step up–especially on the road. He has scored in double-figures twice in his last three games and is averaging 10.3 points per game over that stretch. In Game 2 he benefitted from the Suns ball movement and went 3-for-5 from three-point territory; he is also an above average scorer from the charity stripe so he is able to get his points in a variety of ways. He should get more than 30 minutes easily on Sunday which bodes well for a decent scoring output.
