And he should, considering both teams rank top 10 in pace, which NBA.com categorizes as possessions per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the season, Lillard is 35-19 against this line (64.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Haliburton 20+ points<\/strong> (-103):<\/strong> Fingers crossed we don&#8217;t get one of those weird games where Haliburton chooses to take five shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s always a risk with Indiana&#8217;s point guard but given tonight&#8217;s matchup, I doubt it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lillard can fill the bucket with the best of them, though his lacklustre defence has made Milwaukee a prime target for opposing point guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out how the Bucks&#8217; defence ranks against that position, per Fantasy Pros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2023-24 season:<\/strong> 3rd-most PPG (25.89)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2024-25 season:<\/strong> Most PPG (26.17)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Last 30 days:<\/strong> 4th-most PPG (26.59)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Haliburton only dropped 14 points against the Bucks on Tuesday \u2014 and four of those came on a Hail Mary play as time was expiring \u2014 but it was also his first game back from a three-game injury absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had cleared this milestone in five of eight games prior while averaging 23.4 PPG.
