The Milwaukee Bucks are 17-14 on the season but have lost two of their previous three games. Most recently, they defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-112 on Tuesday. Tonight, the Bucks face the Brooklyn Nets at 8:00 p.m. ET. The Bucks are 1-1 this season against the Nets while winning the last matchup 118-113 on December 8.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a former two-time NBA MVP, averaging a career-high in points this season. He scores 32.6 points per contest with 11.6 rebounds and six assists. Here is my favorite prop bet for Giannis Antetokounmpo against the Nets tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 29.5 points (-120)
The Greek Freak has been dominating opposing defenses this season. He has 18 30-point games in 25 contests this season. He is leading the NBA in scoring and is averaging 30 points per game for the third straight season. He is shooting two more field goals per game than he did a season ago. Antetokounmpo only scored 22 points against the Nets in the third game of the season but followed it up with 34 points in their previous matchup.
Getting Antetokounmpo at -120 on DraftKings Sportsbook is an excellent play, considering how dominant he has been this season. He has scored 30 or more points in four of the previous five games and eight of the last 10. Antetokounmpo has scored at least 30 points against the Nets in 11 of their previous 15 matchups.
Antetokounmpo is the most consistent scorer in the NBA right now and doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. He is probable for tonight’s game against the Nets due to right patella tendinopathy. Antetokounmpo missed four games but returned from his absence against the Pacers on New Year’s Eve.
