The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in a desperate situation being 2-1 down on the road with the potential of Giannis Antetokounmpo missing yet another game. Can they even things up against a Miami Heat team that's scored 120+ points in all 3 games of this series so far? I've prepared a Same Game Parlay, you can find it below.
Last night I landed a +637 odds Same Game Parlay in the Kings vs Warriors game, so I'm hoping to go back-to-back with this one. Don't forget to check our NBA Predictions page for picks on the side and total for both Monday games.
Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Over 217.5 Total Points (-110)
All 3 games so far in the series have gone over the total quite comfortably, which is a bit surprising considering we have the 29th ranked team in pace this season here. Miami averages only 98 possessions per game, and they're also 25th in offensive efficiency, but somehow they've gone over 120 points in all 3 games so far. That just tells you how much the Bucks depend on Giannis, especially on the defensive end. The over has now cashed in 6 of 7 Milwaukee road games and in their last 5 overall. For the Heat this has happened 8 times in their last 10 and in 7 of their last 9 vs Eastern Conference opponents. At just 217.5 points, the oddsmakers are continuing to stick with a relatively low projected total. With all the overs I mentioned earlier and the two teams averaging 229 points in their last 10 meetings, I think backing a fair amount of points is the way to go.
