The Milwaukee Bucks continue their road trip tonight, stopping in Dallas on Saturday to take on the Mavericks. Milwaukee is coming off a 121-112 victory over the Denver Nuggets in which Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered a dominant 28-point, 19-rebound performance.
The Bucks have been finding their rhythm with Kyle Kuzma in the rotation, and they’ll look to continue that momentum against a Mavericks squad fighting for playoff positioning.
Dallas enters this contest fresh off a 103-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets, their best defensive outing in weeks. However, injuries to key frontcourt players — Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, and Dereck Lively II — will make slowing down Antetokounmpo a daunting task.
Here’s the featured Antetokounmpo prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Saturday’s matchup against the Mavericks.
Best Giannis Antetokounmpo Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 48.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Antetokounmpo has been a force this season, averaging 30.9 points, 12.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists across 46 games. While his numbers have dipped slightly since the All-Star break (23.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists over the last five games), this matchup presents an opportunity for him to bounce back in a big way.
With Dallas missing size and interior defense, Antetokounmpo will have a significant advantage against a depleted Mavericks frontcourt. Remember, P.J. Washington is questionable to play after being downgraded to out in the last game. If he cannot play, the Mavericks become even less capable of containing Antetokounmpo.
Milwaukee’s offensive system continues to run through Antetokounmpo, and with the Mavericks struggling to contain dominant frontcourt players, expect him to fill the stat sheet.
Additionally, Milwaukee’s scoring attack has improved with Kuzma’s presence, allowing Antetokounmpo to operate more efficiently. With the Bucks looking to extend their win streak and Dallas shorthanded, this is a prime opportunity for Antetokounmpo to clear 48.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists.
