Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers
- Leg 1: Milwaukee Bucks -3 (-110)
- Leg 2: Milwaukee Bucks – Race to 40 First Half Points (-140)
- Leg 3: Milwaukee Team Total Over 118.5 Total Points (-108)
- Leg 4: Indiana Team Total Under 116.5 (-118)
Milwaukee is not only dominating the tale of the tape, but they have also won both matchups against the Pacers in the season. Tyrese Haliburton is questionable for this contest, so it may be best to get a few bets on this game early before any injury status for the Pacers becomes official.
Milwaukee has a major rest advantage in this contest. This will be the fourth game in six nights, the third game in four nights, and the second leg of a back-to-back for Indiana. The Pacers are 3-6 on the second leg of a back-to-back, and 4-12 when they are the team with less rest going into a contest.
The Pacers are 1-8 in the first half of games when playing on the second leg of a back-to-back. Milwaukee is ranked 6th in the league in first-half scoring, with an average of 59.3 points scored in the first half. The extra rest should give the Bucks the edge in getting to be the first team to reach 40 points tonight.
Milwaukee has exceeded 118.5 points in both contests played against Indiana this season. The Bucks have scored at least 119 points in 5-of-8 games, and own the sixth-highest true shooting percentage in the league. Milwaukee also ranks fourth in effective field-goal percentage and is averaging over 120 points in March.
The Pacers average 110 points when playing on consecutive nights, and have only exceeded 116.5 points in two-of-nine games played when in this situation. Milwaukee has not allowed their opponent to score 117 points or more in three straight games. The scheduling puts Indiana in a tough spot to score in volume tonight, and we feel they fall short of 116.5 points in this contest.

Los Angeles Clippers at New Orleans Pelicans
- Leg 1: Los Angeles Clippers Alt Spread -3.5 (-185)
- Leg 2: Los Angeles Clipper – Race to 20 points – First Quarter (-195)
- Leg 3: Clippers Over Alt Team Total 109.5 Total Team Points (-293)
- Leg 4: Ivica Zubac Double-Double (-575)
- Leg 5: Ivica Zubac 33+ Points + Rebounds (-115)
Norman Powell is once again out for this contest, along with Ben Simmons. However, Kawhi Leonard is available to play this evening. The Clippers are coming off an overtime win and will look to string together four wins in a row on the road tonight in New Orleans.
Los Angeles has recorded wins in 5-of-7 games, while the Pelicans slide further down in the standings. New Orleans has lost their last four games played and has allowed over 130+ points in two of those four contests.
This matchup will be the first of two games on consecutive nights for the Clippers. Los Angeles is 9-4 against the spread on the first leg of a back-to-back. The Clippers are 2-1 coming off an overtime game on the season, while the Pelicans are 4-17 as underdogs at home.
Los Angeles is currently playing in much better form, and they have the stronger defense by a landslide. We are going to side with logic for this selection and take the Clippers to be the first team to reach 20 points in the first half. New Orleans is 21st in regards to offensive rating and ranked 22nd in defensive ratings over the last 10 games.
Ivica Zubac is averaging 21.4 points and 11.4 rebounds over the last five games while shooting 60% from the field. The Los Angeles Center has recorded at least 33+ points and rebounds in the previous 5-of-10 games.
New Orleans allows an average of 20.5 points and 15 rebounds to the center position on the season. The Pelicans concede the second-highest amount of rebounds to the opposition with 46.6 per game.
Zubac is currently averaging a double-double on the season with 16.0 points and 12.5 boards. The veteran center has nine double-doubles in the last 10 games. Considering New Orleans' propensity for giving up high points and rebounding totals to the center position, we confidently feel Zubac will finish this contest with double-digit points and boards.
