The Bucks are hosting the 76ers on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Philadelphia is a 1.5-point favorite and this game carries a total of 228 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Damian Lillard prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Damian Lillard Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Damian Lillard O 39.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Lillard is a must-bet for this over with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out. The forward ranks third in the NBA in usage rate this season and with Antetokounmpo inactive, Lillard has thrived as the Bucks’ centerpiece. In the five starts the guard has made without Antetokounmpo this season, Lillard is averaging 30.8 points, 10.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game.

The veteran exceeded 39.5 PRA in all five of these games and with Antetokounmpo off the court this season, Lillard’s usage rises 4.8 percentage points to 33% and his assist rate skyrockets 10.5 percentage points to 41.6%.

As for his matchup, Lillard is facing a 76ers defense that ranks 24th in efficiency this season. Joel Embiid (knee) is also questionable and if the former MVP sits, this will become an even better matchup for Lillard. With Embiid off the floor this season, Philadelphia’s defensive rating has dropped 7.7 points. The 39.5 PRA line is far too low for Lillard on Sunday and he should surpass this combo line with ease.
