The Magic are visiting the Bucks on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Milwaukee is favored by 5.5 points and this game presents a total of 212 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Paolo Banchero prop to consider from this contest.

Best Paolo Banchero Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Paolo Banchero o36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)

In his first start back from a 34-game absence due to an oblique injury, Banchero went off for 34 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes of work vs. the Bucks this past Friday. The forward will face Milwaukee again tonight and likely will see closer to 30 minutes with this being his third start back from missing most of the season. The Bucks are playing their second game in two nights, likely softening their defense, and last, but not least, Franz Wagner (oblique) and Jalen Suggs (back) will remain out for the Magic.

These two players are Orlando’s top two scorers behind Banchero and with Wagner and Suggs off the floor this season, Banchero has handled a mammoth 41% usage rate, which is a 7.3 percentage point lift from his average. To put into perceptive how large this rate is, LaMelo Ball is leading the NBA in usage this season at 36.8%.

On a per 30-minute basis, Banchero is averaging 31 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists with Wagner and Suggs off the floor this season, which equates to 42.6 PRA. Banchero has a long history of playing well against the Bucks and backing for him for over 36.5 PRA is a no brainer Wednesday.
