They have a +37 point differential through four games, covering a -7.5 spread in each win. That includes victories of 19 and eight points at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee&#8217;s lone win came on its home court and required a Herculean 37-point night from Gary Trent Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana is a dominant 31-11 at home through the regular season and playoffs, while Milwaukee is an underwhelming 20-22 on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucks are 6-14 straight up as road underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113215\">Embed: #113215<\/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> This could be Giannis&#8217; last game as a Buck, and if it is, I expect him to go out with a bang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Greek Freak has been unstoppable this series, averaging 33.8 PPG on 62.2% shooting. He&#8217;s cleared this line in three of four games while landing on 28 points in the outlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is 11-4 against this line in his last 15 games against the Pacers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana allowed the fourth-most PPG to power forwards this season, according to Fantasy Pros, so there&#8217;s no reason to believe Giannis will slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s had the second-highest usage rate in the playoffs and should get minutes until the bitter end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Green 2+ threes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-180):<\/strong> Green has been a reliable 3-point shooter for Milwaukee all season.
