It’s do or die for the Bucks in Game 5 – no pressure, right? Down 3-1 with their backs to the wall, they’ll need to leave it all on the court. The NBA sports betting odds have the Pacers as -7.5 favorites, and everything points to them ending the series tonight.

But can they shut down a limping Bucks lineup again? No time to waste, let’s look at the best NBA props and bets tonight.

Bucks vs Pacers Playoffs Prediction

It’s as clear as your windshield after a car wash that Milwaukee is outgunned offensively, trying to match Indiana’s output. Now, with PG Damian Lillard sidelined with a torn achilles, my NBA game predictions have the Pacers closing the series out. While I’m counting on the Bucks’ defense to slow down Indiana’s hot shooting from Game 4, it will be their offense that comes up short again. Pacers 115, Bucks 106.

 

Bucks vs Pacers Best NBA Player Props Today

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 12.5 Rebounds (-129)

Milwaukee is in desperation mode, and to avoid elimination, they’ll need PF Giannis Antetokounmpo to tap into a level we haven’t seen yet, which is why I have him finishing with over 12.5 rebounds for my top NBA player prop pick tonight. Look, the ‘Greek Freak’ has owned the boards all series, hitting this mark twice already. Keeping that in mind, and facing elimination, you can guarantee Antetokounmpo won’t surrender a single rebound in his vicinity.

 

  • Gary Trent Jr. Over 2.5 Made 3-Pointers (-124)

With Lillard out, I’m all in on SG Gary Trent Jr. to let it fly, and knock down 3+ triples for more of my NBA player prop picks today. Yes, he shot just 2-of-5 from deep last game, but let’s not forget he tied a Bucks playoff record with nine made 3-pointers in Game 3. With Milwaukee’s season on the line, I expect Trent Jr. to refind his stroke and help fuel the Deer’s offense.

 

  • Myles Turner Under 5.5 Rebounds (+114)

The Pacers have had their hands full on the glass, and I expect no different tonight. That’s why my NBA picks tonight include C Myles Turner to finish with under 5.5 rebounds. Sure, Turner’s a ‘big,’ but let’s be honest – he rarely plays in the paint and hasn’t grabbed more than five boards this series. That said, I see Indiana sticking to their game plan – keeping Turner in high pick-and-roll action and away from the rebounding scene.

Bucks vs Pacers Moneyline Pick

Look, the Bucks are outmatched in nearly every area except rebounding, and with Lillard sidelined, according to the latest NBA news, the odds are stacked against them. Meanwhile, the Pacers are coming off a 60% shooting night, and have been firing on all cylinders. Sure, Milwaukee might cool them off a bit, but they lack the scoring talent to capitalize on it. Bank the Pacers on the moneyline.

Bucks vs Pacers Spread Pick

Indiana might not be the best at covering the NBA spread, but I like them taking advantage of a banged-up Bucks team and covering (again). With their offense in full swing and coming off a 26-point Game 3 win, they’ve got all the momentum and tools to do it again. Yes, Milwaukee’s defense will try to amp up the pressure, but Indiana will break them down and have their way by the second half.

Bucks vs Pacers Over/Under Pick

Here’s the deal: The Pacers‘ offense has been on another level, and I have no doubt they’ll get their points. But with Milwaukee missing Lillard, I’m sticking with the under tonight. While I don’t anticipate it being a defensive game by any means, Milwaukee still lacks the scoring firepower beyond Antetokounmpo to do their part and help push this game past the 222-point mark. Save yourself the headache and bet online for the under.
