Best Victor Wembanyama Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Victor Wembanyama over 35.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)
Wembanyama has been a dominant presence this season, averaging 24.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.9 blocks through 39 games. He posted 23 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, but the biggest storyline from that game wasn’t his production — it was his reaction to the relentless physicality he faced.
After Ivica Zubac shoved him to the floor in the third quarter, Wembanyama charged at the Clippers’ center before teammates and coaches restrained him. The incident was emblematic of his growing frustration with what he perceives as a lack of respect from officials.
Asked postgame if he feels he gets a fair whistle, Wembanyama was blunt: “No.”
Despite the escalating physicality, Wembanyama remains locked in on improving his game. He acknowledged the need to play through contact and find ways to assert himself offensively.
“It’s a hard thing to fight because it feels unfair sometimes,” Wembanyama said. “But of course, we talk about it with the staff, and there is some stuff I have to do to help myself. First of all, being strong and not bailing out shots.”
Against the Bucks, Wembanyama will have his hands full matching up with Antetokounmpo, who had 39 points and 12 rebounds in Milwaukee’s loss to Portland on Tuesday. Milwaukee won the first meeting between these teams 121-105 on Jan. 8, with Wembanyama finishing with only 10 points and 10 rebounds. However, given his production and added motivation, he is in a prime spot to surpass 35.5 combined points and rebounds this time.
