Game Recap
Tyler Herro's 25 points led Milwaukee past Indiana in overtime, 128–127, pushing the combined total to 255 and cashing the over on a 234.5 market line by 20.5 points. The Bucks' leading scorer orchestrated a back-and-forth affair that hinged on second-quarter scoring: the teams combined for 77 points in Q2 alone, nearly half their first-half output of 127. Indiana controlled early (29–21 in Q1), but Milwaukee's offense surged through the second quarter to carry momentum into the break.
The second half proved a defensive grind, with the teams combining for just 56 points in Q3 and 51 in Q4, tightening a game that remained within reach throughout. Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 24 points alongside 4 rebounds and 3 assists, while T. Haliburton added 17 points and 6 assists. Milwaukee's supporting cast—B. Burries with 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Kel'el Ware with 13 points—provided depth in a low-scoring defensive period. The stalemate forced overtime, where the Bucks outscored Indiana 11–10 to secure the one-point victory. DAGGER leaned over on the total, and it cashed decisively, as both offenses pushed through the second quarter's explosive pace to overcome defensive resistance down the stretch.
