After a 2-8 start to the regular season, Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken his game to incredible heights to get the Milwaukee Bucks back on track.
With Antetokounmpo averaging 33.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists over his last 10 games, the Bucks have gone 9-1, often pummeling rebuilding teams. A matchup against the Boston Celtics during Friday’s NBA slate will be an excellent test for Milwaukee, especially with Khris Middleton set to make his season debut after multiple ankle surgeries.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bucks are eight-point underdogs (-108) against the Celtics with +280 Moneyline odds. However, here is a Giannis Antetokounmpo prop that you should consider.
Best Giannis Antetokounmpo Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 47.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
Before getting into the details, the baseline production Antetokounmpo has provided the Bucks on the season would hit the over for a combined stat line bet, being over 47.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Antetokounmpo has averaged 32.6 points (league leading), 11.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in 19 games this season, which equates to a combined line of 50.8.
The Celtics are giving up 51.2 opponents points in the paint per game, which ranks 23rd in the NBA. With an emphasis on neutralizing perimeter shooting to win the three-point differential, Boston could be vulnerable to Antetokounmpo’s approach.
With Kristaps Porzingis ruled out due to injury, it will be naturally more challenging for the Celtics to protect the paint throughout this game. Al Horford tends to guard Antetokounmpo effectively, and he’ll be available despite playing through a toe sprain. Regardless, Boston will be limited in its rim protection throughout the game.
There is risk involved in this betting option. Coming off a 31-point, 11-rebound, and 5-assist performance against the Atlanta Hawks, Antetokounmpo finished right under this threshold. He played only 28 minutes against the Detroit Pistons the game prior and totaled 42 combined points, rebounds, and assists. However, he notched a 42-point triple-double against the Washington Wizards in his return from a one-game absence.
