Bucks vs Pacers prediction
Bucks vs Pacers best bet: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 50.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115)
Since 2020-21, Giannis Antetokounmpo has played his most productive basketball against the Indiana Pacers. In that 17-game span, he’s averaged 35.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 6.6 assists, good for 54.8 PRA.
Across those 17 games against Indy, Giannis has three 50-point games, two 40-point games, and seven more 30-point performances. He’s gone off for at least 51 PRA nine times, including four at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Over his last 10, he’s reached 51 PRA six times.
The Milwaukee Bucks superstar is off to a monstrous start to the season, averaging 54.8 PRA. He finished with just 45 in his last game after going for at least 51 PRA in each of his first four games of the season.
Indiana’s defense hasn’t been great this season, especially on the interior. Giannis should have no problem cruising to the Over against a team he’s consistently cooked over the last five seasons.
Bucks vs Pacers same-game parlay
Ryan Rollins has been huge for the Bucks, and he’s hit the Over on this line in four straight contests. In that span, he’s averaged 32.1 PRA, yet his combo line is set ludicrously low.
The Bucks have gone Over in five of six games this season, as they continue to put up points behind Antetokounmpo. Indiana keeps finding ways to score, and despite numerous injuries, this offense can do enough to keep pace with Milwaukee.

Our "from downtown" SGP: TEASER
Indiana has allowed the fewest 3-pointers per game, and the Pacers’ perimeter defense is allowing opponents to shoot just 30.8% from beyond the arc. Indiana’s top-rated 3-point defense should limit Gary Trent Jr., who has hit at least three treys in only one of his last four outings.
