Now, why are these the most-bet player props of the day?
Break down of 1st Points Scorer, Giannis Antetokounmpo (+360)
- I’ve been waiting to analyze one of these bets. Giannis Antetokounmpo is—drum roll please—0-34 this season getting the first basket. Zero! I don’t know about you, but I don’t like that track record and will not be taking him as the first points scorer.
Break down of Giannis Antetokounmpo Points, 25+ (-350)
- This is FAR more digestible and realistic, hence the severely low odds:
- Antetokounmpo has score 25+ points in each of his last 11 appearances at Fiserv Forum (Bucks’ stadium), per the Stats Hub on DKSB.
- Antetokounmpo has scored 25+ points in 19 of his last 21 games.
- I’d parlay this bet to get juicier odds, but can count on Giannis to hit this prop.
Break down of Nikola Jokic Points, 25+ (-230)
- Jokic has put up 25+ points in 11 of the Nuggets’ last 12 road games against Eastern Conference opponents, per the Stats Hub on DKSB.
- Jokic is 20-14 on the over when his points line is set at 27.5 points.
- Jokic is third in the league in PPG (30.6) and has put up 25+ points in 10 of his last 13 games; however, he only put up 10 and 19 in his last two, respectively.
Break down of LaMelo Ball Points, 25+ (-360)
- LaMelo Ball has scored 31+ points in seven of his last nine road appearances against Eastern opponents, per the Stats Hub on DKSB.
- Ball is averaging 29.6 PPG (4th) and has hit over 25+ points in nine of his last 12 games.
- The Bulls rank 23rd in defensive rating and 29th in opponent points per game (120.5)
