AccuScore Best Bet No. 1:
There's a 59 percent chance the total combined score in the Bulls-Bucks Game 3 stays UNDER 187, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.

Not only is the 59 percent chance more favorable than the 52-53 percent chance a bettor normally has picking on the TOTAL, but when the simulated total has differed by 4.5 to 6 points in the last week when compared to Vegas - as it does in this matchup - AccuScore has gone 5-2 (71.4%, +280 units) picking over/unders.

The average score after AccuScore ran 10,000-plus simulations is 93-89.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Bucks' last 6 games at home.

More specifically, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Bucks' last 6 games when playing at home vs the Bulls.

AccuScore Best Bet No. 2:
There's a 58 percent chance the Golden State Warriors cover a -5 spread on the road in Game 3 against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The average score after AccuScore ran its 10,000 simulations is 105-96.

Golden State is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games on the road.

Keep in mind, however, that the Warriors are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games when playing the Pelicans.
