Darius Garland (LA Clippers) Under 3.5 Threes Made (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Clippers gear up to face the Bucks, all eyes will be on Darius Garland and his three-point shooting. While Garland has been solid lately, averaging 4.6 threes over his last five games, the matchup paints a different picture. Historically, he's only managed to drain an average of 2.8 threes against the Bucks, a team that excels at closing out on shooters. The defensive pressure Milwaukee brings could stifle his attempts, especially on the road, where Garland's average dips to 4.2. Given that he's only hit the over on this number in 65% of his last 20 games, it feels prudent to lean towards the under here. With an expected stat value of just 2.68 threes against a tough Bucks defense, there's a strong narrative supporting the idea that Garland will struggle to find his rhythm in this one. Taking the under at 3.5 threes seems like a smart play.

Ousmane Dieng (Milwaukee Bucks) Under 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (+105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Clippers gear up to face the Bucks, Ousmane Dieng stands out as a prime candidate for the under on 7.5 combined rebounds and assists. His recent performances reveal a downward trend, averaging just 5.76 in this category over the last five games-well below our target. On the road, Dieng's numbers drop even further, with averages of only 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists. Against the Bucks specifically, his production has been minimal: just 0.4 rebounds and assists in their last five matchups. While he's shown flashes of potential, the current environment doesn't favor him. With an impressive away hit rate of 5/5 on this under, the conditions seem ripe for Dieng to fall short again. With the Clippers facing a tough Bucks defense, it's hard to see him breaking through this total. Lock in that under; the numbers don't lie!

John Collins (LA Clippers) Under 7.5 Rebounds (-132)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the clash between the Clippers and the Bucks, targeting John Collins for the under on rebounds feels like a savvy move. Currently averaging just 6.0 boards over his last five, Collins has struggled to consistently hit that 7.5 mark. Against Milwaukee, he's managed only 6.4 rebounds per game in their last meetings, and when playing at home, his numbers dip slightly to 7.6.The Bucks present a formidable challenge on the boards, with their recent home opponents pulling down an average of 7.4 rebounds. With Collins' overall hit rate showing just a 75% success against this line over the last 20 games, it's clear he's trending downward. Given these trends and the size and strength of Milwaukee's frontcourt, it's reasonable to expect Collins will fall short once again. Betting the under here seems like a smart play.
