Live Odds for Bucks vs. Pacers
Most online sportsbooks opened this point spread at Milwaukee -2.5 on the lookahead line yesterday. That was a little bit shocking to most people, especially since the Bucks have been struggling on the highway lately. Are the books underestimating the Pacers’ home court edge?
The total has been pretty nuts, to say the least. The line opened at 232.5, but a ton of Over money has pushed the line to its current number of 236. That’s kind of a shocking move when you consider that both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are listed as game-time decisions for the Bucks. Tyrese Haliburton is also listed as a game-time decision for the Pacers.
Pascal Siakam Under 3.5 Assists (-160 at ESPN Bet)
MIL at IND: 7:30 PM EST on TNT
BetMGM is being extra generous this morning with Siakam’s assist total. Sure, the -160 juice is kind of disappointing, but look at where every other sportsbook has this line. BetRivers this Under juiced to -182 and FanDuel is even higher than that at -174.
Siakam is a decent scorer and he’s the top rebounder on this Indiana squad. That being said, the 6’8″ forward has never been a big-time assists guy, as he’s averaging just 3.3 per game this season. Siakam’s median assists number is also just 3, so there’s some value in Under 3.5, even at the -130 juice.
More Trends for Siakam’s Under
- Siakam is 37-26 to the Under vs. this line in ’24-25.
- Siakam has averaged just 2.5 assists per game this season vs the Bucks.
- Siakam has gone Under this line in 16 of his 29 home games this year.
Tyrese Haliburton Under 3.5 Rebounds (-115 at BetMGM)
MIL at IND: 7:30 PM EST on TNT
Haliburton is supposed to be back in Indiana’s starting lineup tonight even though he’s listed as questionable due to a hip injury. The Pacers star point guard has missed the last week of action, and I think he only plays limited minutes in this one. I don’t expect Haliburton to get his normal 34-minute workload, which is the main reason I like this Under.
Tyrese’s median rebounding number is just 3 this season, so there’s a touch of value in Under 3.5. The Bucks are also a tough matchup for Haliburton in the rebounding department, as they rank a respectable 16th in that category. Indiana ranks an abysmal 29th. Give me the Under!
More Trends for Haliburton’s Under
- Haliburton is 33-26 to the Under vs. this line in ’24-25.
- Haliburton has averaged just 2.9 rebounds per game over his last 10 outings.
- Haliburton has gone Under this line in 15 of his 28 home games this year.
