76ers vs Knicks Quick Bet to Make
Tyrese Maxey is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 39 points + rebounds + assists. With Embiid being injured, and with his condition, Tyrese Maxey is the main player on the court for the 76ers. If it was not for him, the 76ers would have lost game 5. Tyrese hit two big threes in the late fourth quarter and secured the win for the 76ers, who now have a chance to tie the series. In the last game, Maxey went over this line just with his points. He scored 46 points with 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Joel Embiid seems like a decoy at this moment, and expect Maxey to have a big role in game 6.
That being said, Maxey getting at least 39 PRA is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Tyrese Maxey over 38.5 PRA @-108 @FanDuel
Indiana Pacers vs Milwaukee Bucks Best Bet
6:30PM EST
Indianapolis, IN
Gainbridge Fieldhouse
For May 3,2024, we will look at the clash between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks in Indianapolis. The Bucks won the last game in Milwaukee. Right now, the Pacers lead the series 3-2, and have a chance to close out this series at home in Indianapolis.
Current Form
The Pacers have won three of their last five games. In their last game, the Pacers were favorites considering how injured the Bucks were. However, the Pacers played the 2nd and 3rd quarters poorly, and just could not come back after those two terrible quarters. Haliburton and Siakam were not at their best level, and it was just overall a bad night for them.
The Bucks are still without Antetokounmpo and Lillard. Even without their two best players, the Bucks managed to win at home, and keep their hopes alive. Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis stepped up in the last game. Both of them scored 29 points and had a double-double.

Pacers vs Bucks Best Bet to Make
The Pacers will have a chance to win this series at home, and we believe that they will do so. It is hard to expect them to shoot so poorly once again. We believe that Siakam and Haliburton will step up, and lead them to the big victory.
That being said, the Pacers winning by at least 8 points is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Indiana Pacers -7.5 @1.91 @bet365
