The Playoffs: Bet the Pacers to cover in Game 2 vs Bucks

It writes: “The Bucks will be shattered after a poor performance in Game 1. Antetokounmpo was a one-man army in an unfortunate circumstance without his second-leading scorer, Lillard. Meanwhile, the Pacers have no shortage of offensive options. They made a Conference Finals run last season with the same core, which explains their confidence. I believe they will win again, but probably under 10 points, but more than 5 points.”
