The Hawks aim to punch their ticket to the NBA Cup Finals against the surging Bucks on Saturday afternoon. Surrounded by lengthy defenders, Trae Young has been able to hide defensively and shoulder even more of the offensive burden.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Atlanta is currently a 4.5-point underdog, with the game’s point total set at 228.5. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around Young in this Vegas showdown.
Best Trae Young Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Trae Young Over 11.5 Assists (+110)
Trae Young has been a disastrous scorer so far this season. He’s averaging his fewest points per game since his rookie year and is shooting 38% from the field. Part of his poor efficiency is his persistence in chucking threes, as he’s taking over eight triples a game, but is converting on just 30% of his attempts from beyond the arc. He’s been a black hole offensively, yet his dazzling passing has kept him from totally bottoming out.
Young is netting over 12 dimes a night and has had at least ten assists in four of his last five outings. Young is so ball-dominant that he naturally has a hand in most of his squad’s made baskets. In a game of such magnitude, Young will dominate the rock and should be looking to get his teammates involved. The line feels a smidge high, but it is worth pursuing at plus value.
