PrizePicks NBA Fantasy: Suns vs. Bucks NBA Finals
It is important to note that, much like odds that update throughout the day, the player totals at PrizePicks are subject to change. So if you like these NBA picks below, it is wise to jump on them quickly.
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Over 8.5 Made Free Throws
Yes, the play is Giannis Antetokounmpo to make at least nine free throws, and no, this is not crazy. The situation is actually easy to break down. If Giannis is hitting his free throws like last game, this number should quickly add up. If he is less efficient again, he will be fouled and sent to the line more often, so this is taking the “quantity over quality” approach.
Giannis shot 13-for-17 from the free-throw line in Game 3. He seemed to look much more comfortable from the charity stripe on his home floor. In Game 2 he was less efficient but still finished 11 for 18. He may push for 20 free-throw attempts tonight.

Bobby Portis: Over 4.0 Rebounds
The usage of Bobby Portis during this postseason run has been puzzling. Sure, he can be a defensive liability at times, but he is also a source of energy and instant offense off the bench. That was evident in Game 3 when he put up 11 points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes.
He has been an animal at home where the Milwaukee crowd often is chanting his name. Portis has grabbed eight rebounds in two of his last three home games. He has four or more rebounds in six of his eight home appearances during these NBA playoffs. It should not take long for him to grab five rebounds against the Suns.
Chris Paul: Over 8.5 Assists
Chris Paul has nine assists in two of the three NBA Finals games, with an eight-assist game being his only failed performance. He has been masterful in the pick-and-roll, getting easy buckets for Deandre Ayton. Assuming tonight’s game is closer than Game 3, Ayton should get a full helping of minutes, which helps Paul’s assist numbers. Game 3 also saw Devin Booker shoot 3-for-14 overall. A better shooting performance from Booker also benefits Paul in this regard.
