We’re an Indiana Pacers win away from a potential detonation of the Milwaukee Bucks.
With Dame Lillard’s future in jeopardy as he recovers from an Achilles tear, any hopes Milwaukee had at a comeback are officially cooked.
On that sobering note, let’s run down our favorite Bucks vs Packers props and NBA picks for Game 5 on Tuesday, April 29.
Best Bucks vs Pacers props
Siakam o20.5 points (-110)
Kuzma u9.5 points (-115)- Porter u6.5 assists (-145)
Bucks vs Pacers player props for April 29
Pascal Siakam Over 20.5 points (-110 at bet365)
Pascal Siakam didn’t need to turn it up a notch in Game 2, as he attempted just 10 shots and scored 12 points in a playoff-low 29 minutes in the Indiana Pacers' crushing 129-103 win.
Before that snoozer, Siakam had been cooking all series, scoring at least 24 points in each of the first three games.
He’s shooting a blazing 58.3% from the field while hitting at a blistering 50% clip from 3-point range.
With the chance to close this one out, on their home court no less, look for Siakam to play a more prominent role than he did in Game 4.
Kyle Kuzma Under 9.5 points (-115 at bet365)
Talk about a roll of the dice coming up snake eyes. The Milwaukee Bucks shipped out Khris Middleton, a key piece of their title team who was battling injuries, for a package that included Kyle Kuzma.
The hope was Kuzma could bring in younger legs and offensive juice, but he’s been a bust in this series.
Kuzma has scored 24 points. Total. For the series. This includes three points in Game 4 on 1-for-6 shooting.
He has gone Under his 9.5 scoring line in three of four games and is shooting just 33.3% from the field, including a 1-for-8 mark from downtown, a 12.5% clip.
I don’t see Kuzma snapping out of this funk.
Kevin Porter Jr. Under 6.5 assists (-145 at bet365)
Kevin Porter Jr. will likely soak up most of those Dame Lillard minutes like he did in Game 4, when he scored 23 points, with five rebounds and six assists.
Porter has been averaging five assists this series, but the books expect greater production in the Lillard spot, giving him a 6.5 assist prop in Game 5.
It’s a number he’s yet to top in any game this series, but he’s come close, with back-to-back six-assist games, and one with five dimes in Game 1.
Counting this series and the regular season, Porter has yet to hit the 7-assist mark in 11 career games against Indiana.
