Over 214.5 (-110)
Since Milwaukee’s defense has been unable to slow Indiana down, surrendering 120+ points in 3 straight games, the over 214.5 is our recommended play for Tuesday night. The past 3 games – all Pacers wins – have comfortably surpassed the closing total. With Doc Rivers’ bunch seemingly unable to make the necessary adjustments to combat the Pacers’ offense, expect another fast-paced, offense-centric contest that lands over the total. Sure, the Pacers will likely see some negative regression from the three-point line after sinking 22-of-43 triples in Game 4. However, another 120+ point performance is very much in the cards for a squad that owns the NBA’s 2nd-highest offensive rating (120.5).

Tyrese Haliburton to record 10+ assists (-200)
The engine behind that prolific offense is, of course, Tyrese Haliburton. With an opportunity to win his first playoff series, I expect him to be active right from the get-go here. After averaging 11 assists per game in 5 regular-season meetings, he has been able to translate that form into the postseason as well. So far in 3 games, he’s averaging 10 dimes per game, and that number would have been even higher if it wasn’t for just 4 assists in Game 4, which happened due to him playing only 32 minutes in a blowout win. Everything starts and ends with Haliburton for Indy on offense, so it makes perfect sense to back him to deliver another double-digit assist game, which would be his 3rd in 4 games played.

Pascal Siakam over 23.5 points (-122)
Siakam has been a huge revelation for the Pacers since coming over from Toronto. Following 2 dominant performances to open the series his numbers have regressed a bit, but he’s still putting up 25.8 points per game on over 55% efficiency from the field. He has been Mr. Reliable this season, playing 80 regular-season games and he’s showing no signs of slowing down in the postseason either, logging 40+ minutes in 3 of the 4 games played. Whenever you have a player getting so much on-court action, you always feel good about them having a productive game. Siakam has the most experience out of all the Pacers players when it comes to closeout games and I believe he’ll use that to his advantage here and lead Indiana to another win.
Brook Lopez over 1.5 made threes (-138)
For a team decimated with injuries, Lopez now actually becomes the 2nd scoring option behind Khris Middleton, assuming he plays. The Bucks are desperate to get anything going offensively, and it might be up to the big fella to once again step in and fill the void left behind by Giannis and Dame. Game 4 was his most productive outing in this series, as he finished with 27 points on 66% from the field and 60% from downtown. So far in the series he’s at 18.5 points per game on 55% efficiency from beyond the arc, and I think the Pacers will live with his threes on most nights and he’s happy to take them. He’s cleared this line in 2 of his last 3 games, so fingers crossed he’s able to deliver one more performance like that and land our Pacers vs Bucks Same Game Parlay.
