Bucks +Parlay: 1Q ML + Full Game ML (-115) vs. Pacers

8 p.m. ET ⋅ NBA League Pass

This is a big-time revenge spot for the Bucks who have lost two straight to the Pacers. This is the first time they will play them in Milwaukee and should bounce back from a slow start against Indiana in the semi-final of the In-Season Tournament.

The last time Milwaukee lost at home was on Halloween against the Hawks (the second game of the season). The Pacers are 2-7-1 against the first quarter spread on the road and the Bucks are 11-1 straight up at home this year. So I like a parlay of first quarter and full game to get some near even value in this matchup.

I don't think Anthony Davis and LeBron James play in this matchup. They were down 15 to the Mavericks, came all the way back to take the lead, and ended up losing and not covering.

This Spurs team has lost so many games, in fact the most in a row in Spurs history. They usually come out hot in the first quarter and first half. They are 8-3 against the first half spread at home and I expect them to get another one tonight.

I think they get the win but for the best bet I will take the points. Anthony Davis is obviously not 100% after injuring that groin in the In-Season Tournament championship.

The Spurs have talent, and I think this is a great spot for San Antonio tonight. Even if the Lakers' stars play tonight they won't play a full 35-40 minutes tonight.

In 2024, the Tar Heel State will launch North Carolina sports betting fully online. Keep up with the latest legal happenings.
