Why are the Bucks at +152!!! Greek Freak will play

[Cardsfan55]

There is so much value in going with the Bucks. Not only that but everybody is on the Heat and yes i mean everybody. I think this is a great spot to make some money with the Bucks.

[Cardsfan55]

+160 now

[stevek173]

I don't see anything saying that he's playing.

[pologq]

they say he feels the same as before game 4. one play away from being hurt again.

[Allure]

He is Nigerian btw

[JIBBBY]

His ankle will tweak again in the first quarter if he starts..

[lakerboy]

He won't play.

[marcoloco]

if he does play, will he last the whole game?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Even if he plays he'll be hobbled. Miami is gonna finish the job tonight.

[stevek173]

He is questionable.

[pimike]

They are done. They don’t care anymore

[Cardsfan55]

+172!!!!

I don't know if Giannis is gonna play or not but don't read too much into walking boots. Everyone wears them anymore if they have the slightest issue to the ankle/foot region. A lot of times they're cautionary more than anything.

He is Nigerian btw

He's a citizen of Greece.

This from wikipedia...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giannis_Antetokounmpo

Though Antetokounmpo and three of his four brothers were born in Greece, they did not automatically receive full Greek citizenship as the Greek nationality law abides by the jus sanguinis.^[6] For the first 18 years of his life Antetokounmpo was effectively stateless, having no papers from Nigeria or Greece.^[9] After gaining Greek citizenship in 2013, a romanization of their surname “Adetokunbo” saw it become “Antetokounmpo”

Doesn't matter what I think though. Seems general public reaction is that he won't play. And even if he does, seems like he's well below 100%

[jjgold]

I don’t know I’m afraid of that game

[BigDofBA]

Does it matter if he plays?

The Heat are clearly better if he plays or not.

[Allure]

Bucks lost 3 games when he was healthy so why does it matter if he plays or not

After 4 months of break due to Corona they still wanted to sneak out of the playoffs against Orlando, it's obvious they want out as they are getting paid either way

You’re spot on.

Heat were better when he was playing. Now he either doesn’t play or plays at less than 100%.

Advantage still heat. The Bucks haven’t been impressive during this entire bubble.

[Cardsfan55]

Who cares what the betting public thinks??? lol The betting public is more often wrong then right. Who is going to win if the Bucks win? The betting public or vegas lol.. There is great value in the Bucks tonight. People saying the Heat is better than the Bucks either way arent too bright. There is a reason the Bucks are the number 1 seed

[KVB]

On the +4.5 in the NBA Contrarian Fund.

[lakerboy]

Miami is not that good.

Silly statement. If betting public is wrong more often than they are right, then you should care what they think, right?

And who exactly is "Vegas" anyway?

[asiagambler]

Miami is not that good.

They're not. They rely too much on 3 point shot. But they seem to be Giannis' kryptonite and Spoelstra is really outcoaching Budenholzer

[Bostongambler]

He’s out

[LT Profits]

Greek Freak is OUT.

[KRIT]

Kind of feels like one of those games where Bucks cover but Heat win.

[Chi_archie]

they knew

but Bucks will benefit from being rev-ed up to over compensate for him out of line up again

they should win by 5-7 here

selling points out my wazoooooo

[KRIT]

Why would books leave such a middle. Feel like Miami either wins by 6 or more or Bucks cover the original +2.5 spread. Really doubt this will middle.

I tend to agree

Miami's entire defensive game plan was designed for Giannis. Now with Giannis out, this can take them out of their comfort zone and give Milwaukee an advantage of uncertainty

Bucks moneyline worth a shot

[Eddy Munny]

I took the Bucks +5.5 for a WTF play. Let's get it!

[OTWinner]

Willis Reed played with a bad ankle.

I have 4.5 and some 4 from earlier, the books really blinked to the pressure during that last hour that the Contrarian Fund was picking up on earlier in the day.

Hate to see a Mia 5 point win here.
