Is Bryce Young At Fault For His Early-Career Struggles? Or Is The Team To Blame? - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers had a chance to pick up their second victory of the season on Thursday night as they went up against the also-lowly Chicago Bears. But they came up short in a showdown of rookie quarterbacks, which predictably became a defensive battle between two anemic offenses.

How Much Of The Panthers’ Struggles Rest On Bryce Young?

The Panthers are now 1-8 and are tied with the Arizona Cardinals for the worst record in the NFL, and Young hasn’t looked like the sure-fire prospect that made the Panthers select him first overall in the most recent draft.

It hasn’t helped that the guy drafted immediately after him is putting up better numbers than we’ve ever seen from a rookie. CJ Stroud is lighting the league on fire through the first half of the season, and currently has 14 touchdowns and has thrown just one interception. His Houston Texans are one of the surprise teams in the league at 4-4.

Bryce Young, on the other hand, has thrown 8 touchdowns and 7 picks. He entered the week with fewer passing yards than Kenny Pickett and Zach Wilson, and had the lowest QBR and 4th-lowest quarterback rating. He has looked like anything but a can’t-miss prospect, which has plenty of people already questioning if the Panthers made the right pick in the 2023 Draft.

Carolina Roster Is Devoid Of Elite Talent

But how much of the troubles are Young’s fault? The Panthers have a roster that is nearly devoid of any elite talent, and they traded away the player that would have been the team’s #1 wide receiver in order to acquire the rights to draft the rookie quarterback. The offensive line has done him no favors, as he has been sacked 4+ times on five different occasions this year, and they allowed eight pressures from Montez Sweat in his second game as a member of the Bears.

So while it may be easy to point at Bryce Young and use the “bust” label on a guy who has only played in 8 games, the circumstances surrounding the situation should be considered. The Panthers now have a mini-bye week after the Thursday night game, and will play against the Dallas Cowboys on the other side.

Minnesota Vikings Have More At Stake Than Any Other NFL Team In Week 10 - originally posted on Sportslens.com

It has been a rollercoaster first half of the 2023 NFL season for the Minnesota Vikings. They started out 1-4 with their only win coming over the lowly Panthers in Week 4, and it looked as if they were headed for the bottom of the standings in the NFC. But Kevin O’Connell’s team is one of the hottest teams in the league, having not lost a game since October 8th, and have been winning despite some tough circumstances.

Vikings Have Most To Lose, And Gain, This Week In Game vs. Saints

All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson has missed all four games of the winning streak while on injured reserve, and Kirk Cousins is out for the season after being one of the top quarterbacks in the league statistically for the games that he played early on. The Vikings were forced to turn to a player who had been on their roster for 4 days to play quarterback for them last Sunday, but Josh Dobbs pulled off one of the wildest feats you’ll ever see in the NFL last Sunday.

Once left for dead, the Vikings are in the thick of the NFC playoff race. If the season ended today, they would be the 7th and final seed in the conference with their 5-4 record. But their position is volatile, and they have more at stake this Sunday than any other team in the NFL for Week 10.

Playoff Chances Boost To 74% With A Win

Minnesota currently has a 56% chance of making the playoffs, according to PFF projections. If they win, their odds will see a massive boost, all the way up to 74%, but a loss would send them into tough territory. Should they come up short against the New Orleans Saints this week, they’ll drop down to 41%. That is a 33% swing that will take place depending on the result of the game, more than the Bills and Bengals, who both have 31% swings this week.

Jefferson has been activated from the injured reserve, but when he’ll actually return to the field is unknown. The player himself confirmed on Thursday that he wouldn’t return until he was sure that he felt 100%, and he’s not exactly sure when that will be. It is highly unlikely that it will come this Sunday, a game which the Vikings are currently listed as 3 point underdogs for.

The Utah Jazz Have A “Tribute” To Michael Jordan At Their Arena - originally posted on Sportslens.com

We are more than 25 years removed from the 1998 NBA Finals, but the Utah Jazz are still holding onto a grudge from their loss to the Chicago Bulls in that series.

Utah Jazz Change Wi-Fi Name In Area To “JordanPushedOff”

Did Michael Jordan push off? In what would be his final game as a member of the Bulls, Jordan and his team were down by 1 point in the closing minute of Game 6. They were up 3-2 in the series, and looking to avoid having to play a Game 7 in front of another boisterous Salt Lake City crowd. Michael Jordan stole the ball from Karl Malone with 20 second on the clock and jogged the ball up the floor.

With nine second left, Jordan made his move. With Byron Russell playing defense, Jordan drove to the top of the circle above the free throw line and took a hard jab step. When he did, he placed his left hand on Russell’s behind and appeared to give him a shove out of the way. Jordan rose up and drained the shot with 6 seconds left, providing for one of the most iconic moments in NBA history.

Jazz Made The Move For Their 50th Anniversary

The Jazz would have probably liked to forget the moment, but they apparently haven’t. The team is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and have taken a humorous jab at Jordan and the memorable moment that kept them from winning an NBA Championship.

For the 2023-24 season, the Wi-Fi name at the Delta Center has been changed, and now reads “JordanPushedOff”.

Team owner Ryan Smith recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, and he and the crew had a laugh when the (likely temporary) name change.

The two teams had an inter-conference rivalry in the late 90s. They met in the Finals in back-to-back seasons, with the Bulls coming out victorious each time, preventing Karl Malone and John Stockton from winning elusive championship rings late in their careers. Jordan would go on to play for the Wizards in the twilight of his playing days, but his final shot against Russell and the Jazz will always be the iconic stamp on his illustrious career.

NFL: Tonight Is The Rare “Win-Win” Situation For Chicago Bears - originally posted on Sportslens.com

The Carolina Panthers will travel to Chicago to take on the Bears for a Thursday Night Football showdown this evening, a game that will feature two of the bottom-tier teams in the league, who currently have a combined record of 3-14. Two rookie quarterbacks will be leading their squads, one struggling first overall pick and one undrafted player from a D2 school, making for one of the less intriguing prime time matchups for the 2023 NFL season.

Bears Will Improve Their NFL Draft Position With A Win Over Panthers

But there are some things at stake in tonight’s game, especially for the home team.

These two teams have been linked for about nine months now. The Bears finished the 2022 NFL season with the worst record in the league, and had the rights to the first overall pick in the 2023 Draft. The Panthers were an interested party, and they traded away some serious assets in order to acquire the pick and draft Bryce Young out of Alabama.

The Bears stuck with Justin Fields in hopes that he would turn a corner this season, but there is a good chance that the team will look to move on in the off-season, especially given the draft capital that they will potentially have come late April.

In the deal for last year’s first overall pick, the Bears acquired a handful of future picks from Carolina, including the Panthers’ first round pick in 2024. That means that in addition to their own selection in the upcoming draft, they’ll have Carolina’s as well, which would put them in unheard of position in a draft loaded with offensive talent.

Bears Would Have 2nd & 3rd Overall Picks If Season Ended Today

Every time that the Panthers lose is a win for the Bears and their potential draft capital, and there has been plenty of that happening so far this year. So while they may hurt their own draft stock if they pick up a victory tonight, the Bears would benefit even further from a loss by Carolina, and would keep them as one of the two teams in the NFL with fewer than two wins.

As it stands today, before the game’s action gets underway, the Arizona Cardinals would have the first overall pick. Chicago would be picking second in lieu of the Panthers, and then third overall with their own selection.

Bengals News: Tee Higgins Expected To Miss Week 10, Chase Limited - originally posted on Sportslens.com

The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. After starting the season slow and limping out to a 1-3 start, they have won four in a row with a couple of impressive wins over formidable opponents. Joe Burrow is looking like his usual self after dealing with a leg injury throughout the preseason, and the team is in the thick of the race for the ultra-competitive AFC North.

Higgins Out For Bengals, Chase Status Unknown

The Bengals have a tough stretch of games coming up, starting this Sunday with a contest against the CJ Stroud and the upstart Houston Texans. They are currently listed as a comfortable 6.5 point favorite, but they may be dealing with some injury issues to key players come Sunday.

In last week’s Sunday night matchup with the Bills, Ja’Marr Chase went up for a deep pass and came down on his back with full force, causing the game’s commentators to remark about how sore he’d be in the morning. That assumption rang true, as Chase is now dealing with a back issue, and was held out of practice on Wednesday.

Cincy Needs All Hands On Deck To Continue Surge

But that wasn’t the worst injury news. In that Wednesday practice, fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins suffered a hamstring injury, and was reportedly walking gingerly in the locker room afterwards. There was hope that it was simply a scare, but the news coming out of the Bengals facility on Thursday is that Higgins has been downgraded to out, and will miss the game against the Texans entirely.

It was also reported that Chase did return to practice on Thursday, but was listed as a limited participant and his status is still unknown.

The Bengals need all hands on deck in order to pick up some much-needed wins. The race for the AFC playoffs is going to be a bloodbath given the talent in the conference, and the AFC North is just about as packed up as they come. The Ravens lead the division by a game and a half with a 7-2 record, but each of the Bengals, Steelers, and Browns are sitting at 5-3 and within a weekend or two of taking the top spot away from Baltimore.

NFL Odds: Could Kyler Murray Be The Patriots Quarterback In 2024? - originally posted on Sportslens.com

The Arizona Cardinals have the worst record in the NFL at 1-8 and control their own destiny when it comes to having the first overall pick in next year’s draft. It has long been an assumption that the team would look to move on from Kyler Murray now that there is a new coaching regime in town, and having a top pick in a quarterback-rich draft would be the optimal way to replace the 5-year veteran.

But if the Cardinals do move on from Murray, where would he go? He is a three-time Pro Bowler and is one of the top dual-threat QBs in the league, and is still just 26 years old with plenty of career ahead of him. There will be teams that are interested in bringing in an established pass thrower, and Murray could be one of the biggest names on the market, depending on how things shake out early in the off-season.

Which NFL Team Will Kyler Murray Play For In 2024?

Here are three of the more interesting options listed on the odds board at BetOnline for where Kyler Murray will play in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season:

New England Patriots (+500)

There have been more than a handful of teams that have struggled with their quarterback situations this year, but most of them are due to injuries to their starters. For the Patriots, their woes at the position are due to Mac Jones and his lack of development in his third season. They will almost certainly be looking for a quarterback this off-season, whether it be with a high draft pick or through free agency and trades, and Kyler Murray could be an option for Bill Belichick and company.

Tennessee Titans (+550)

The Titans are the NFL team with the second-shortest odds, but their +550 designation will likely end up holding little value. The team is all but guaranteed to part ways with Ryan Tannehill during the off-season, but they have used two early-round draft picks on quarterbacks in the past couple of years, and Will Levis has looked solid in his first two appearances. It is unlikely that Tennessee would pour any further resources into the quarterback position for at least another year or two.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+900)

The Steelers at +900 might just hold the best value. They are currently 5-3 and in the thick of the playoff picture, but there are serious questions surrounding current quarterback Kenny Pickett. Mike Tomlin may choose to move on in the off-season, but Pittsburgh won’t have a high enough draft pick in order to select one of the elite prospects coming out next year. They may have to hit the NFL free agent or trade market, and Kyler Murray could be on their radar.

Texans Injury Report: Dameon Pierce And Nico Collins Not Practicing Today - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Houston Texans’ key offensive pieces Dameon Pierce and Nico Collins were not seen practicing today as they get ready to face the Bengals.

 

Pierce has been dealing with an ankle injury while Collins is dealing with a calf injury. Pierce missed last week’s game and him missing a second game in a row would not be surprising. Collins was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. Him being downgraded to a DNP is not a good sign for his availability on Sunday. Tomorrow will be a big day for Collins as he looks to build another good game.

Pierce has not been the runner he was last year. He is averaging only 3.0 yards per carry. Even thouhg the offensive line is not helping him, Pierce still is not getting it done between the tackles. The Texans have now gone to a 50/50 split with Devin Singletary when Pierce was healthy. Singletary will likley lead the backfield once again with Mike Boone also mixing in as well.

CDN media

Nico Collins is having a breakout season for the Houston Texans and is one of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud’s favorite targets. Him and rookie Tank Dell have been one of the more underrated wide receiver duos in the NFL. Collins already has 631 yards receiving and is averaging 17.5 yards per reception. Collins also has a whopping 11.9 yards per target and has solidified himself as the big play threat in this high powered passing offense.

The Houston Texans are +525 to win the AFC South according to Texas sportsbooks.

The Texans face a tough test going on the road to face the Cincinnati Bengals. With Collins and Pierce looking iffy to play, it will be tough for the Texans to win playing against a streaking Bengals team.

Tonight, the Carolina Panthers will be on the road to face the Chicago Bears to start Week 10. Both teams are coming off a loss in Week 9. In their last game, the Colts lost 27-13 to the Indianapolis Colts at home. Rookie QB Bryce Young had the worst game of his short career so far. He threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns by Indy. 

Chicago lost 24-17 to the Saints in Week 9. Tyson Bagent is still the starter for the Bears while Justin Fields deals with a thumb injury. Fields hasn’t been ruled out for tonight’s game, but he is listed as doubtful. Bagent will almost certainly start tonight barring Fields miraculously being ready to play.

The 1-7 Panthers will be on the road tonight to face the 2-7 Bears in Week 10

Ahead of Thursday’s matchup, you can visit BetOnline for all your NFL bets. We’ll look at the best prop bets for the Panthers vs. Bears game.

NFL Odds: Prop Bets for Panthers vs. Bears game Week 10

1. Hayden Hurst Over 16.5 receiving yards @ (-114) via BetOnline

This season, the Carolina Panthers are one of two teams heading into Week 10 with just one win. They are 1-7 to start the year and it hasn’t been promising after having the #1 overall pick in 2023. Bryce Young has been underwhelming to start the year and Panthers fans are hoping he’ll turn it around in the second half of the season.

One of Young’s top targets this season is starting TE Hayden Hurst. He’s played in all eight games for the Panthers in 2023, averaging (21.3) yards per game. In Week 9, Hurst had two catches for 54 yards and a long of 48. Tonight, his O/U for receiving yards is set at (16.5) vs. the Bears. Hurst has gone over that number in half of his games played this season.

2. D’Onta Foreman Over 63.5 rushing yards @ (-114) via BetOnline

Injuries have forced backups into starting roles at a few key positions for the Bears this season. One of them being RB. Khalil Herbert is on the IR and is still dealing with a hamstring injury. In his place, Roschon Johnson and D’Onta Foreman have gotten most of the carries. In the past few weeks, Foreman has solidified himself as the lead back when Herbert is out.

Last Sunday, Foreman had 20 carries for 83 yards vs. the Saints. Tonight, his O/U for rushing yards is set at (63.5) vs. the Panthers. Foreman has gone over that number in three of his five games played this season. Carolina is 28th out of 32 teams this season, allowing (131.8) rushing yards per ga,e in 2023.

3. Adam Thielen Over (6.5) receptions @ (-130) via BetOnline

While the Panthers have struggled on offense this season, Bryce Young knows who his favorite target is. Adam Thielen is in his first year with Carolina and he’s quickly become their WR1. This season, Thielen has 62 catches for 610 yards and four touchdowns. With the Vikings in 2022, Thielen had just 70 catches for 716 yards. He’s on pace to shatter those numbers with the Panthers in his first season.

Tonight, Thielen’s O/U for receptions is set at (6.5) vs. the Bears. He’s gone over that number in six of his eight games played in 2023. In his last game, Thielen had five catches on six targets for just 29 receiving yards. The Panthers will be on the road tonight to face the Bears who will be without Justin Fields.

Travis Kelce Will Be In Argentina To See Taylor Swift Show This Week - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Things have been somewhat quiet on the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift news front over the past couple of weeks. After her string of appearances at Kansas City Chiefs games, she has been absent from the sky boxes and the NFL cameras for the past couple of weeks for games in Denver and Frankfurt, Germany.

Travis Kelce Will See Taylor Swift In Argentina This Weekend

She has good reason. Swift’s “The Eras Tour” is continuing this month, as she will be playing nine shows in South America that will take her through Thanksgiving weekend. It is the start of what is a massive international schedule for the global sensation, which will start up again in February with dates in Japan and Australia, followed by Singapore in March.

It may be tough for Travis Kelce to keep up with his world-traveling girlfriend, but he’s going to do his best, starting this week.

According to reports, Kelce will be traveling to Argentina this weekend, and will catch some (all?) of Swift’s performances in Buenos Aires. The Chiefs are on a bye this week and won’t play again until November 20th, meaning that the All-Pro tight end has some time to kill in the middle of the season.

International Trips In Back-To-Back Weekends For Kelce

It will be a good amount of travel on the body of an NFL player. Not only will he endure the normal wear and tear of the travel of a professional football player, but Kelce will have included two international trips on back-to-back weekends to the normal routine. The flights from Kansas City to Frankfurt are about 13 hours worth of travel time, and getting to Argentina from Missouri is an even longer trek.

Will it have any effect on Travis Kelce and his performance on the field? That remains to be seen, but he hasn’t exactly been on fire with his statistics over the past couple of weeks. In Week 8 against the Broncos, he caught five passes for 58 yards, and the Dolphins held him to just 3 catches for 14 yards in Week 9.

Upon returning from the bye week, the Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in what could very well be a Super Bowl preview.

The Houston Rockets Have Won 4 Straight And Are Dominating Their Opponents - originally posted on Sportslens.com

The Houston Rockets have been at the bottom of the NBA standings for the last three years. Under coach Stephen Silas, the team has an overall record of 59-177, and finished in last place in the Western Conference in each of those seasons. But the roster and management underwent a bit of an overhaul in the offseason, and things could be turning around in Houston if they keep up their current pace.

Houston Rockets Have Been Dominant In November

Silas was fired as the team’s head coach, and the Rockets brought in Ime Udoka to replace him. They went out and spent in free agency, too, adding veterans Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, adding to their young core that was led in scoring by Jalen Green. There were mild expectations coming into the 2023-24 season, and it was thought to be a building and developmental year for the Rockets in the deep Western Conference.

The season started off the way that the previous ones had gone. Houston dropped the first three games on their schedule, losing to the Orlando Magic by 30 points on opening night before being defeated by the Spurs and Warriors.

But then, a switch was apparently flipped. Beginning with their game against the Hornets on November 1st, the Rockets have now won four games in a row. After defeating Charlotte, they picked up back-to-back wins against the Kings, before demolishing the Lakers in the first meeting between Brooks and LeBron James since last year’s playoff drama.

Defense Leading The Way For Houston

The Rockets haven’t just been winning, they’ve been dominating their opponents. In the four wins, they have outscored their opponents by a combined 86 points, and have allowed fewer than 100 points in each of their last three. Their defense ranks in the top-10 in the league in essentially all of the major categories.

The early season schedule is certainly doing them some favors. Both the Kings and Lakers were Western Conference playoff teams last year, so they are beating formidable opponents. But after playing their first two games on the road, the Rockets are currently in the middle of a home stand that last 15+ days, which doesn’t include four days off before their third road game of the season on November 17th. That “road trip” will last three games against all California teams before coming back to Houston for two games.

It is of course a small sample size, and the Rockets have plenty of season left ahead of them. But the early returns are good for what could be one of the surprise teams in the West this season.

Wilkes’ defense looked strong through the first five games of the season for the 49ers. However, the past three games have been a struggle on defense. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Wilks will move from the booth to the field in Week 10 as a way to help out the defense. Will moving Wilks to the field be enough to save a Niners defense that has lost their identity?

The 49ers are making some adjustments on defense coming out of their Week 9 bye


Steve Wilks is in his first season as the DC for the 49ers. Last year he was with the Panthers and became interim head coach when Matt Rhule was fired mid-season. For the first eight games of the season, Wilks was in the booth. He would tell the play to the linebackers coach Johnny Holland, who would then really it to Fred Warner on the field. Warner then tells his teammates the play call.

For their first five games of the season, the Niners were first in the league, allowing only (13.6) points per game. San Francisco has given up an average of (24.0) points over their three-game losing streak. At 5-3, the Niners are trying to get back on track this weekend vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. They feature a high-powered offense that is dominant on the ground and through the air.


The defense has not been up to standard for the Niners over the last three weeks, but neither has the offense. San Francisco scored 30+ points over their first five games in 2023. On their three-game losing streak, the Niners have scored 17 points in each game. Seventeen points is enough to win you a game, but not with the brand of defense the Niners have played recently. They’ll be on the road this weekend to face Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars.

Heat Injury Report: Tyler Herro Out Multiple Weeks With Ankle Injury - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro is expected to miss multiple weeks after he suffered a sprained ankle in a win against the Memphis Grizzlies.

 

Herro left the game at the end of the first quarter after he landed on Jaren Jackson Jr’s foot after going up for a floater. He instantly could not put any weight on it and hopped to the locker room. He did not return. Herro stated that he heard “crunching and cracks” in his ankle which is never good. Luckily there have been no reports about it being any more sever than a sprain, so a few weeks of rest and recovery should be amicable for Herro to get back on the court.

 

This is a huge loss for the Miami Heat. Herro is quietly having the best season of his young career. He is averaging a career high in points, rebounds, and assists per game. Herro is still one of the more underrated combo guards in the NBA. In the meantime, the Heat will have to rely on veteran players like Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, and Bam Adebayo more than usual. Other players like Duncan Robinson and rookie Jamie Jaquez Jr. will see increased run for the Miami Heat as well.

The Miami Heat are favorites to win the Southeast Division at +120 according to Florida sportsbooks.

The Heat are in a somewhat competitive Southeast Division. It seems like the only other competition in the long run are the Atlanta Hawks who boast a 4-3 record. The Miami Heat are currently 4-4 and hold the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference if the playoffs started today. It remains to be seen how long Herro will be out. It is unlikely we see him at all until next month at the earliest.

Betting on MMA can make watching the upcoming UFC 295 fights much more exciting and most of the time this can be done with ease. That said, there are still some areas and states in the US that make it harder, with different gambling laws and restrictions in place.

However, the best Kentucky sports betting sites listed don’t need to follow any set gambling rules as they are offshore.

States like Florida, California or Texas, where betting is still being debated and currently has some restrictions, are three examples but by using the reliable offshore betting sites on this page you can bypass these regulations without issues.

ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky said it’s hard to see Justin Fields as Chicago’s starting QB in 2024 - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Tonight, the Chicago Bears will be at home to host the Panthers on TNF in Week 10. Once again, the Bears will be without starting QB Justin Fields. He’ll miss his fourth straight game with a thumb injury he sustained in Week 6. Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent has started for Fields in the times he’s missed. 

With how the Bears’ season is heading, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky had a strong take on Justin Fields. He thinks Fields not being Chicago’s starter next season is a real possibility. The Bears are going to likely have top-5 picks in the 2024 Draft. Orlovsky doesn’t see a world where the Bears wouldn’t take a QB with one of those first-round selections.

Is Justin Fields’ job on the line this season with the Bears?


Justin Fields has played in 33 career games over three seasons for the Bears and has made 31 starts. He played in 15 of Chicago’s 17 games last season, going 3-12 in those games. In six starts this season, Fields is 1-5. Over his career with the Bears, the 24-year-old is just 6-25 as their starting QB. It’s hard to deny his talent level, but it hasn’t translated to wins on the field.

Dan Orlovsky is only speculating when he mentioned Fields not being with Chicago in 2024. He doesn’t know what’s going on inside the Bears’ organization and what their plan is for the future. Chicago might feel comfortable with Fields at QB and could look for more talent to add on offense for him. However, there is a chance that the Bears are ready to cast Fields away and draft a new QB in the 2024 Draft.


There’s no telling when Fields will be able to return this season. Until then, Tyson Bagent will start for the Bears. When Fields is healthy enough to play, he’ll be their starter. His future with the team could depend on how the rest of the season plays out. It would be in his best interest to come back as soon as he can to try and save his job. However, the Bears also want to keep a high draft spot with the chance to have two top-5 picks. We’ll have to wait and see how the second half of the season goes for Chicago.

NBA Odds: Three Prop Bets For Thursday’s Bucks Vs. Pacers Game Via BetOnline - originally posted on Sportslens.com

Tonight, the Milwaukee Bucks will be on the road to face the Indiana Pacers. Both teams are coming off home wins on Wednesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are 5-2 after their 120-118 win vs. the Pistons. Damian Lillard scored a team-high 34 points for Milwaukee. Antetokoumnpo led the team in rebounds (9) and assists (5) on Wednesday. Milwaukee is on the road tonight to face the Pacers. 

Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers beat the Jazz 134-118 at home on Wednesday for their fifth win of the season. Indiana is now 5-3 and has a tough matchup tonight vs. the Bucks. The Pacers are averaging a league-best (126.0) points per game in 2023-24. However, their defense is the fifth-worst in the NBA allowing (121.3) points per game. Haliburton and the Pacers will be at home again on Thursday to face the Bucks.

The Bucks are favored (-3) on the road vs. the Pacers on Thursday night

Ahead of Thursday’s matchup, you can visit BetOnline for all your NBA bets. We’ll look at the best prop bets for the Bucks vs. Pacers game.

NBA Odds: Prop Bets for Bucks vs. Pacers game on NBA TV

1. Tyrese Haliburton Over 11.5 assists @ (-121) via BetOnline

Last season, Tyrese Haliburton enjoyed a year where he averaged 20.7 points and 10.4 assists per game. He earned his first all-star selection in 2022-23 with the Pacers and has quickly become a franchise favorite. Haliburton is a true PG who thrives on setting up his teammates. The 23-year-old is also a talented scorer at all three levels and has a bright future with the Pacers.

In 2023-24, Haliburton is leading the NBA with (11.9) assists per game. He was just shy of leading the league in assists last year with 10.4, but James Harden’s 10.7 just barely beat him. Tonight, his O/U for assists is set at (11.5) vs. the Bucks. Haliburton has had over 11.5 assists in five of his seven games this season.

2. Brook Lopez Over 1.5 made threes @ (-114) via BetOnline

Brook Lopez is getting older, but he still finds ways to be an effective player for Milwaukee. He’s in his sixth season with the team and has started all seven games for the Bucks in 2023-24. Lopez is playing fewer minutes per game this season and that’s led to his scoring numbers being down. However, the one-time all-star is still effective from beyond the arc this season.

The veteran big man is averaging (2.0) three-point makes and (5.1) three-pointers attempted per game. Two threes made per game is his highest average since 2018-19. Tonight, Lopez’s O/U for made threes is at (1.5) vs. the Pacers. He’s gone over that number in four of his seven games this season. Taking his over for three-pointers made is a strong bet.

3. Bruce Brown Over 12.5 points @ (-109) via BetOnline 

After winning the Finals with the Nuggets in 2023, Bruce Brown decided to test the waters of free agency. While staying with the Nuggets could mean competing for another title, Brown rightfully wanted a payday he deserved. To get it, he had to leave the Nuggets and he signed a two-year, $45 million deal with the Indiana Pacers.

Brown has started in all eight games for the Pacers this season, averaging (11.3) points, (4.0) rebounds, (2.1) assists, and (1.0) steals. Tonight, Brown’s O/U for points is at (12.5) vs. the Bucks. He’s gone under that number in five of his eight games in 2023-24. The 27-year-old might have a chance to score more tonight with a Bucks defense that is not the same this season without Jrue Holiday.
