The Bucks look to win back-to-back games for only the second time this season against the Bulls on Wednesday night. The only person keeping the franchise afloat is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has played himself into the running to capture his third MVP.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Milwaukee is currently a -7.5-point favorite, with the game’s point total set at 236.5. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Antetokounmpo in this exciting clash.
Best Giannis Antetokounmpo Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 35 Points (+185)
Even against the league’s basement dwellers, the best way for Milwaukee to be competitive on a nightly basis is for Giannis Antetokounmpo to go nuclear. The 5-9 start could be significantly worse if the franchise cornerstone wasn’t averaging over 31 points and 12 rebounds a game. He’s an elite offensive hub who is unstoppable going toward the basket. Antetokounmpo is a one-man fast break, moving like a freight train in transition.
He might not have an “offensive bag” like Kevin Durant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but he can score in bunches, just off brute physical dominance. Not that there really is any, but Chicago has no defender to throw at Antetokounmpo. In the previous matchup, the Greek Freak dropped an efficient 38 points in an impressive showing.
A similar performance should be expected to keep the club’s momentum. At plus value, this is a line I’m all over.
