Below, I dive into three of my favorite player prop bets for Sunday’s Game 4 between the Pacers and Bucks on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Bucks vs. Pacers Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Damian Lillard U 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (+105)
Since returning two games ago, Lillard (calf) has been abysmal from deep. The guard has only hit three of his 16 three-point attempts, which is an ugly 19%. This is a product of Lillard being rusty after missing over a month and the Pacers being elite at defending the outside shot. When facing Indiana this season, its opponents are only shooting 34.6% on three-pointers and averaging 12.8 made three-pointers per game.
Specifically to point guards, the Pacers are giving up the fourth-fewest made three-pointers this season. Lillard has stayed under 2.5 made three-pointers in three straight matchups with Indiana and at this plus-money price, he is an awesome bet for this under in Game 4.
Pascal Siakam O 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Siakam has been a thorn in the Bucks’ side all season. In six matchups with Milwaukee, the forward is averaging 24.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and Siakam has topped 31.5 PRA in all but one of these six contests. So far in this first round series with the Bucks, Siakam is handling a 24.2% usage rate and he is shooting an outstanding 60% from the field.
Lillard being back for the Bucks softens their defense and Siakam’s success against Milwaukee should continue in Game 4 with him going over 31.5 PRA.
Kyle Kuzma U 15.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Kuzma has been unproductive for the Bucks in this series with Indiana. Through the first three games, the forward is only averaging 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. Kuzma is only logging 24.3 minutes per game and he has stayed under 15.5 PRA in all three of these contests. While Kuzma starts for Milwaukee, his backup in AJ Green has been far better in the playoffs. So far in this series with Indiana, Green ranks second for the Bucks in plus/minus, while Kuzma is dead last of the 14 players for Milwaukee who have seen the floor.
The Bucks’ coaching staff certainly are aware of this and for the second game in a row, Green should see more minutes than Kuzma on Sunday. All in all, Kuzma shouldn’t see enough volume to clear 15.5 PRA and he is an excellent bet for this under.
