Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
First Three: Myles Turner (+400)
I picked Turner for this game two days ago. It didn’t hit. I am going right back to him tonight.
I expect a strong performance from Indiana’s big man from behind the arc, as evident by my favorite DraftKings Sportsbook player prop for this contest. The 6’11 sharpshooter only went 1-4 from deep in Indiana’s Game 5 loss, but in the prior four matchups of this series he shot a whopping 17-35 from three.
As I highlighted last Threesday, Brook Lopez is a favorable matchup for Turner to produce from long range, as his lack of mobility prevents him from contesting triples effectively against taller players. The logic behind this pick is there, now we just need execution from Turner and the Pacers.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks
First Three: Jalen Brunson (+450)
Make it 2/2 for repeat picks tonight!
Both Turner and Brunson’s odds have dropped compared to Tuesday, but the logic behind each pick remains. New York’s No. 1 option opened up this first-round series with a couple of ugly shooting performances, but he’s bounced back nicely as of late.
The superstar guard is coming off a 4-11 night from beyond the arc in Game 5, his most productive of the series so far. The volume has also been there, as Brunson has taken 26 triples over his last three contests. He hasn’t been shy when it comes to firing away early in recent games, and I expect that to be the case once again tonight.
Those are my first three picks for each game on Thursday’s slate! Stay tuned for more picks later this week.
