Giannis Antetokounmpo is having yet another MVP-worthy season, although it’s unlikely he’ll sniff the top two for the award this season. He’s been individually stellar, posting averages of 31.3 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 6.1 APG on 60.1% shooting from the floor. He’s anchoring his Bucks to the fourth seed with a 22-17 record, having won six of their past ten games. He’s been relatively healthy this season and has only missed six games out of 39.

Tonight the Bucks’ superstar has an easy task in front of him as his team hosts the 10-31 Toronto Raptors, who will be without Immanuel Quickley.

Here are some of the best Giannis Antetokounmpo prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup:

Best Giannis Antetokoumpo Prop Bet

PTS + REB 41.5 (Over -105 / Under -125): In his last nine games, Antetokounmpo has been averaging 40.2 PTS + REB, a shade under his O/U line tonight. I’m in favor of going Over due to the matchup. Toronto is fifth-last in defensive rating and is eleventh-last in conceding rebounds to opposing teams. Antetokounmpo is a prolific scorer whose interior presence has been further unlocked by Damian Lillard’s return to form this season. The Raptors are admittedly doing a better job of limiting opponent points in the paint, clocking in at tenth last in the league, but are still below league average in this regard.

I foresee Antetokounmpo having his way with the Raptors’ defense tonight, especially at a home game. Given the disparity between these two teams’ situations and strengths this season, the only worry about Antetokounmpo not reaching his O/U total in this category is the game getting out of hand before the fourth quarter.
