Ryan Rollins has reached ten points in each of his three recent games off Milwaukee’s bench, including thirteen in the loss to Boston. If you’re backing a Bucks upset in the rematch, that scoring contribution offers a way to support your view without assuming he returns to the starting lineup.
These Bucks parlay picks use Rollins’ performances in Milwaukee wins and Jayson Tatum’s scoring in Boston losses, with each compared against his all-game record. Side & Support Parlay Plays leaves you two distinct choices: a bench contribution from the Bucks or a limit on Tatum’s scoring, without requiring you to combine them.
Two Bucks parlay picks to compare
Both rows cover recorded appearances with each player’s current club in the 2025–26 and 2026–27 regular seasons. Tatum’s perfect losing-game record contains only five appearances, and Milwaukee has only one win this season. Individual DraftKings prices were observed Sunday morning, November 8, and can change.
| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All appearances |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryan Rollins 10+ points 2025–26 & 2026–27 regular seasons |
−116 | 96.7% 29 of 30 MIL wins |
91.6% 76 of 83 MIL appearances |
| Jayson Tatum Under 26.5 points 2025–26 & 2026–27 regular seasons |
−106 | 100.0% 5 of 5 BOS losses |
79.2% 19 of 24 BOS appearances |
Ryan Rollins: 10+ points
Rollins had ten points in seventeen minutes against Minnesota, thirteen in 24 minutes against Boston and ten in fourteen minutes against Toronto. All three were bench appearances. That recent scoring gives the ten-point choice some support in his current role, rather than relying entirely on what he did while starting.
Ten points cost −116, with the equivalent over-9.5 offer at the same price. Eight points was −213. Across the two regular seasons, dropping to eight covered thirty Milwaukee wins instead of 29, and 79 appearances overall instead of 76. The extra cushion costs considerably more for one additional winning game.
Twelve points paid +153 and covered 25 of thirty Bucks wins and 61 of 83 appearances overall. The bigger payout looks appealing, but it would have missed two of his three recent bench appearances. Both of those finished exactly on ten.
The longer record’s only winning miss at ten was nine points against Washington last season, in 29 minutes. This season has brought three misses across all nine games: nine against Washington, four against Houston and nine against Cleveland. Scoring opportunities haven’t always been enough, even before the move to the bench.
Milwaukee’s lone win this season came with Rollins scoring nineteen against Indiana in 32 minutes as a starter. He’s now behind Brayden Burries on the point-guard depth chart, and his latest three appearances lasted seventeen, 24 and fourteen minutes. The old winning record doesn’t promise the workload that helped build it.
His other contributions make that distinction visible. Over 15.5 combined points, rebounds and assists cost −125 and covered all thirty Bucks wins and 77 of 83 appearances overall in the longer sample, yet missed his latest Minnesota and Toronto appearances. Over 5.5 rebounds and assists at −149 covered those same thirty wins and 75 appearances overall, but missed those same two recent games. Ten points has held up better across the three recent bench games, but two exact-ten finishes leave little room for a quieter night.
Jayson Tatum: under 26.5 points
Tatum scored thirteen in Boston’s loss to Detroit while handing out eleven assists, then nineteen with nine assists in the defeat in Houston. Those games show how he can contribute through passing while staying below this points line. They are also the only two Boston losses in his eight appearances this season.
Under 26.5 points cost −106. His points-and-assists under was 33.5 at the same price; both covered all five Boston defeats in the longer regular-season sample. The points under covered nineteen of 24 games overall, compared with eighteen for the combined under, and avoids needing his assist total to stay down as well.
Adding rebounds would change the choice further. Under 34.5 points and rebounds cost −120 and covered four of the five losses and fifteen of 24 appearances overall. Under 41.5 combined points, rebounds and assists was −121, also covering four losses and fourteen appearances overall. Those extra contributions can push a combined total over its line even when his scoring remains below 27.
The five losing-game scoring totals were 24, sixteen, 24, thirteen and nineteen. They came in appearances ranging from 27 to forty minutes, so the pattern isn’t simply a collection of very short nights. Still, five defeats across 24 recorded appearances is a small basis for a perfect record.
His latest performance is the clearest challenge: 34 points and five threes against Charlotte in only 29 minutes. He also scored 36 against New York, forty against Brooklyn and 32 against Orlando this season. The under has landed in only four of his eight current-season games, so backing a Bucks win shouldn’t turn into an assumption that Tatum must score less.
Last spring’s separate playoff appearances included thirty points in a win over Philadelphia in 35 minutes. Those games aren’t pooled into the table’s regular-season record. This option is a particular view of Boston’s scoring in a defeat, not a minutes restriction or a claim that Milwaukee automatically keeps him quiet.

Choose the kind of Bucks win you see
Rollins’ ten-point offer fits a view in which Milwaukee gets a useful scoring shift from its bench. Tatum’s under is the alternative if your upset view includes Boston getting less scoring from him, even while his passing remains productive.
