Let's dive into my best bet for tonight!
Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prop Pick
Portis should see a heavy workload tonight with Dame and Giannis out of the lineup.
Portis was ejected in the first half of Game 4, which did not give him a chance to get going.
He should see 40-plus minutes in a win or go home showdown, and get up 15-20 shots while getting to the free-throw line.
The Pacers have one of the worst defenses in basketball, and Portis will take advantage of it tonight.
