Prop Pick

The Indiana Pacers are the highest-scoring team in the NBA with a PPG of 123.1. The Milwaukee Bucks are fourth on that list with 119.0 points scored on average. More than one-quarter of Milwaukee’s points were scored by Giannis Antetokounmpo (30.4 PPG).

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful for Game 1 of the Bucks’ first-round series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, as Antetokounmpo continues rehabbing his calf strain.

Unfortunately for the Bucks, he’s listed as doubtful due to a calf injury that kept him out of the court for the last three games. If he doesn’t play, some of the other Milwaukee stars will have to step up. We think it’s going to be Damian Lillard.

This guy’s averaging 24.3 points per game, which is a pretty good number. Plus, he loves playing big games such as this one, which is the first game in the series.

NBA Player Prop	Odds
Damian Lillard Over 28.5 Points	-124

Prop Pick

Oklahoma won its last five games, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the Thunder’s top scorer in four of those. He’s been brilliant throughout the entire season and is ready to take his form up to a whole new level in the playoffs.

His team is taking on the New Orleans Pelicans in the Playoffs, with Game 1 being played in Oklahoma City. The Thunder lost their last two home games against the Pelicans, but overall, they’ve been great on home turf.

In fact, they finished the regular season with a 33-8 record in home games, which, together with the Denver Nuggets, was the best record in the Western Conference.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 28.5 Points	-124
