I&#8217;ll consider that a one-off, though, because Milwaukee isn&#8217;t a defensive juggernaut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucks were a pedestrian 16th in defensive rating following the all-star break and are 12th out of 16 playoff teams as of April 27th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113063\">Embed: #113063<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Giannis 30+ points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-225):<\/strong> We&#8217;re only three games in, but Giannis is heading toward one of the great playoff series performances of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 1:<\/strong> 36 points (14-of-23 shooting), 12 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 2:<\/strong> 34 points (14-of-20 shooting), 18 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 3:<\/strong> 37 points (14-of-19 shooting), 12 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Greek Freak has been scoring at will against the Pacers, which is nothing new. He&#8217;s averaging 36.1 PPG in his last 15 games against them, reaching this milestone 12 times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana also allowed the sixth-most PPG to opposing power forwards this year, according to Fantasy Pros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one concern I would have with Giannis is his conditioning. He&#8217;s being asked to do it all and has delivered, but how long can that last? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, he only played 32 minutes in Game 3 and should be relatively well-rested for another monster showing on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Portis 8+ rebounds<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-210):<\/strong> Milwaukee is going to need secondary players beyond Giannis and Damian Lillard to produce, and Portis can be that guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran forward has cleared this line in all six games since returning to the Bucks&#8217; active lineup on April 8 and also in seven of 10 games before getting injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portis had double-digit boards in five of six playoff games against Indiana last year, with the exception being a game where he was ejected after seven minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you exclude that, he&#8217;s hit this milestone in eight straight playoff games against the Pacers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pacers vs. Bucks predictions made at 11:30 a.m. ET 04\/27\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers close out Sunday&#8217;s NBA playoff quadrupleheader with a pivotal Game 4.
