Odds like the Bucks over Suns in Game 4 of NBA Finals

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a convincing basketball player.

Convincing in that, with his two 40-plus-point games in a row, his are Bucks right back in the NBA Finals series after the Phoenix Suns took a 2-0 lead into Game 3.

Milwaukee won that one on Sunday by 20 points, and another home outing for the Bucks in Game 4 had them opening as four-point favorites, per OddsShark.com.

The line for Milwaukee has increased to -4.5 across most betting services, while the over/under as of gameday morning sits at 220.5.

All three of the games so far in the Finals series have been won by double-digits, but the totals have been within five points of the over/unders in every one.

The Bucks’ home crowd appeared to make a difference in their first hosted Finals game this year, and it wasn’t a one-off. Milwaukee is 16-1 straight up in the last 17 games at Fiserv Forum.

Consider that with 42- and 41-point games from Antetokounmpo in his last two outings, Phoenix being handed a loss with their All-Star backcourt combining to shoot 11-of-28 in Game 3, plus Suns center Deandre Ayton dealing with foul trouble last time out, and there is good reason to back the Bucks when it comes to the books.
