The Milwaukee Bucks enter Saturday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers, riding a five-game winning streak. Head coach Doc Rivers returns to face his old team, but the more pressing storyline is the Bucks’ continued surge behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
Antetokounmpo recorded another double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds in Thursday’s victory over the Miami Heat, extending his streak to 14 straight games with at least 10 points and 10 boards.
Here are the featured Antetokounmpo prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for this matchup in Inglewood.
Best Giannis Antetokounmpo Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 29.5 Points (-120)
Antetokounmpo has been on a tear this season, averaging 31.3 points, 12 rebounds and 6.0 assists across 36 games. He’s a threat to score 30 or more points nightly. With the Bucks looking to end a lengthy road trip on a high note, perhaps he’ll attempt to set the tone to guide Milwaukee against the Clippers.
With Milwaukee winning eight of its past nine games and Antetokounmpo fresh off a 25-point outing, he faces favorable odds to exceed 29.5 points. The Clippers have improved at home since Kawhi Leonard’s return. However, if the Bucks push the pace, their interior defense can still be significantly vulnerable to a physical force like Antetokounmpo.
Against the Clippers last year, he posted 34 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in his only matchup, illustrating his ability to stuff the stat sheet against a Los Angeles squad that prides itself on defense.
Given Antetokounmpo’s knack for dominating in the paint and getting to the free-throw line, the circumstances favor him to clear this points threshold. Expect another high-energy performance from the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week as the Bucks look to keep their winning streak alive.
