The Bucks are visiting the Timberwolves on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Minnesota is favored by 6.5 points and this game carries a total of 225 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 40.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) being sidelined unlocks Lillard. Lillard is a must-bet for this over. The point guard will be making his eighth start of the season without Antetokounmpo on Wednesday, and in the first seven, Lillard was magnificent with 33.6 points, 9.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game, while clearing 40.5 PRA in all seven of those contests.

Let’s not forget the Bucks also just traded Khris Middleton to the Wizards last week. With both Antetokounmpo and Middleton off the floor this season, Lillard’s usage has jumped 5.9 percentage points to a team-high 34.5%, and his assist rate has increased 8.1 percentage points to 39.2%.

Lillard is currently handling a similar role to what he garnered as a superstar with the Trail Blazers for most of his career. While he gets a subpar matchup against a Timberwolves’ defense that ranks seventh in efficiency Wednesday, Lillard is matchup proof right now, and he should easily top this 40.5 PRA combo line.
