Cleveland is I think now much more worried about the teams behind them than catching the Bucks. They're 7-11 since the All Star break and that includes 2 of the most unlikely wins you'll ever see with the 4th qtr comeback against Boston and the Strus game-winner

Pacers score 145 in regulation and somehow lose? :lol:

What a bizarre end to the game. Pacers down 4 with like 20secs left and keep giving up open layups to kick it out for a contested three.

The "Player has reached the 65 game requirement for awards" updates are a special kind of obnoxious.

Bucks fans imo should now start pulling for the cavs to win games, much rather face them in the 2nd round than the Knicks.

The last couple of weeks we are looking at what Haliburton would look like if he were a Milwaukee Buck.

Read on Twitter


In the game on Jan. 26 against the LA Clippers, there was increased betting interest on the under for Porter props, which for the night were set at 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. There was also an over/under for Porter's made 3-pointers, which was 0.5.

That night, Porter played just four minutes before leaving the game due to what the Raptors said was a re-aggravation of an eye injury he'd suffered four days earlier in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He did not score in the game against the Clippers, had three rebounds and one assist, and did not attempt a 3, meaning the under hit on all of the props.

The next day, as part of a daily report to users on betting results, DraftKings Sportsbook reported that the under on Porter's 3-pointers was the biggest money winner for bettors of any NBA player props from games that evening.

Porter played 19 minutes two days later and scored 12 points with seven rebounds and three assists.

On March 20, in a game against the Phoenix Suns, Porter played just three minutes before leaving the game due to what the Raptors said was an illness and did not return. He did not score, attempted and missed one shot, and had two rebounds.

Sportsbooks had his over/unders set at around 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds.

The next day, DraftKings SportsBooks reported to its users that Porter's prop bets were the No. 1 moneymaker from the night in the NBA.

Porter, the brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr., is on a two-way contract with the Raptors earning $415,000 this season.

He missed the Raptors game Saturday against the Washington Wizards for personal reasons, according to the team. He is listed as out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets for personal reasons.

NBA players, alongside all league employees, are prohibited from betting on any league events, including prop bets. Violations of the policy could include fines, suspensions and possible termination of contracts, among other actions.

Sports betting is monitored by dedicated personnel from each NBA team, and the league has a team of data scientists focused on sports betting anomalies and possible integrity issues and also works with third-party integrity monitors.

Hawks (without Trae) down 30 to the Celtics (without White and Jrue) have now taken the lead. Didn't see that coming.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Big story tonight is that the Wizards started three Wisconsin kids ( Poole, Davis, Baldwin) and are ahead of the Bulls at the half.

National Media probably won't say a thing about it either. Just like our win yesterday :lol:

As someone who had Celtics -10.5 for more than I should’ve done, this hurt.

Some good quotes on the C's board.

I personally like the comment, "Meaningless. Can we do this against the Bucks in a series-clinching game 4?" during the second quarter.

Of course as soon as he leaves, he becomes a 40% 3 pt shooter. We were begging for him to be this type of player.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
