As the Milwaukee Bucks prepare to face the Indiana Pacers on December 13, 2023, we’ve identified some enticing player prop bets for NBA fans to consider. These picks target players with the potential to exceed their projected numbers and generate significant profit.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 34.5 Points (-106 FD)
The Greek Freak is undoubtedly one of the most dominant forces in the NBA, and he’s averaging a career-high 30.5 points per game this season. Against a Pacers defense that ranks 24th in points allowed per 100 possessions, Antetokounmpo has the opportunity to feast. He’s scored 35 or more points in five of his last 10 games, and we’re confident he can surpass the 34.5-point threshold against Indiana.
Tyrese Haliburton Over 12 Assists (-155 FD)
Haliburton has emerged as the Pacers’ primary playmaker, averaging 6.1 assists per game this season. He’s particularly effective against teams that struggle to defend the pick-and-roll, and the Bucks’ defense ranks 28th in opponent pick-and-roll efficiency. With the Pacers likely to utilize ball screens to generate scoring opportunities, Haliburton should have plenty of chances to rack up assists. He’s hit the over on his assists prop in five of his last eight games, and we expect him to continue his impressive playmaking against Milwaukee.
Darius Garland Over 23.5 Points (-110 FD)
Garland is the Pacers’ leading scorer, averaging 23.4 points per game this season. He’s particularly effective in transition, and the Bucks’ defense ranks 22nd in opponent fast-break points allowed. With the Pacers likely to run the floor more often than usual against Milwaukee’s slower pace, Garland should have the opportunity to score in transition. He’s hit the over on his points prop in seven of his last 10 games, and we’re confident he can do so again against the Bucks.
Jrue Holiday Over 4.5 Assists (-110 FD)
Holiday is a versatile playmaker who can distribute the ball effectively while also scoring efficiently. He’s averaging 4.9 assists per game this season, and he’s particularly effective against teams that struggle to defend the pick-and-roll. The Pacers rank 20th in opponent pick-and-roll efficiency, and Holiday should have plenty of chances to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. He’s hit the over on his assists prop in five of his last seven games, and we expect him to continue his solid playmaking against Indiana.
These player prop bets offer enticing opportunities to capitalize on the potential for high-scoring performances from some of the NBA’s top players. With careful analysis and sound betting strategy, NBA fans can potentially increase their bankrolls and enjoy an exciting game of basketball.
