Indiana and New Orleans booked their place in the NBA In-Season Tournament semifinals last night and on Tuesday we’ll find out the other two remaining teams. New York and Milwaukee will start us off in the East with tip-off is set for 7:30 pm ET, live on TNT. I’ve prepared a Knicks vs Bucks Same Game Parlay, which is available below. Make sure you also find out our NBA predictions on the side and total for those games, but for now, let’s dive into my SGP.
Damian Lillard to score 30+ points (+190)
Josh Hart to record 1+ steals (-165)
Donte DiVincenzo over 7.5 points (-122)
Same Game Parlay odds: +614
Damian Lillard to score 30+ points (+190)
Damian Lillard is well known for his heroics in the clutch, but what he has been doing this season since joining Milwaukee is on a different level. He has outscored all of his Bucks teammates combined in the clutch so far this season, and he’s doing it very efficiently shooting over 50% in those situations. With a place in the semifinals on the line here and a very high possibility of this being a close game, Lillard will have to step up and once again show why the Bucks traded for him this summer. The Knicks are one of his favorite opponents — he has scored 30 points in 4 of the 6 most recent meetings, while in the last 14 against them, he’s averaging 28.9 points per game. He’s also scored 30+ in 3 of his last 5 overall, and with a smaller player in Jalen Brunson guarding him tonight, I believe he has a good shot at doing so yet again.
Check out our New York Knicks vs Milwaukee Bucks predictions
Josh Hart to record 1+ steals (-165)
Josh Hart is the glue guy on this Knicks team, especially when it comes to the defensive end. He’s 3rd on the team in steals and rebounds per game, and most importantly, New York is +85 when Hart is on the floor in 19 games this season. In his last 7 outings, he is averaging 1.3 steals per game and has failed to clear this line on only 2 occasions. Milwaukee hasn’t been taking care of the ball all that well lately, and over their last 3 games they’ve committed an average of 15.3 turnovers which is the 7th-highest mark in the NBA. I’m counting on Hart to get at least 1 steal here.
Donte DiVincenzo over 7.5 points (-122)
The Bucks have had problems defending the perimeter all season long and coming into Tuesday’s game they’ve allowed teams to shoot 40% from distance in the last 3 games. They’re fairly mediocre at home as well, with opponents shooting 36.2% from three for the season. DiVincenzo scores the majority of his points from three-point land, and he’s been on fire in his last 2 games against Detroit and Toronto, knocking down 7 and 4 threes for 21 and 12 points respectively. He’s faced his former team a total of 4 times since leaving the team in 2022, averaging 14.5 points per game and clearing this line 3 times during that stretch. In order to beat the Bucks you have to score a ton of points, and I’m sure Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau will count on DiVincenzo’s production here.
