The Bucks are vying for their fifth straight win against a woeful Wizards group on Saturday evening. Giannis Antetokounmpo is off to one of the most dominant starts to a campaign in his career and is in contention to capture his third MVP trophy.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bucks ares currently 15.5-point favorites, with the game’s point total set at 234.5. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Antetokounmpo in this Eastern Conference showdown.
Best Giannis Antetokounmpo Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Giannis Antetokounmpo 35+ Points (+150)
The team record has masked Giannis Antetokounmpo’s impressive performance so far in year 12. In a league that consistently ventures out to the perimeter, Antetokounmpo is an anomaly. He lives in the paint, physically overpowering every defender across from him and getting to the rim with ease.
Antetokounmpo understands that the best way for his squad to win, which is not nearly as talented as recent renditions, is with himself as the focal point. His true usage rate, which accounts for shots, turnovers, and potential assists, is 58%. He has a monopoly on this Milwaukee attack and is responsible for scoring in bunches to ensure this group is competitive.
The Greek Freak has scored at least 30 points in three consecutive outings and will face a Washington team ranked 29th in defensive rating. Antetokounmpo will feast and will only not smash this threshold if the game gets out of hand too quickly. I love the plus value and will continue to monitor this alt-scoring line as long as his scorching stretch continues.
