Sunday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 42.5 Points + Rebounds (-120)
The Bucks have climbed back into the Eastern Conference title conversation after a rough start to the season. They are hot right now winning six of their last seven, even though it's been against average teams, those are the games contenders need to win.
This should be a game they can handle when they host the 76ers. Philadelphia played the night before, so they likely not have their full roster, giving Milwaukee a huge advantage. Giannis Antetokounmpo will be in the MVP conversation as he's second in points and fifth in rebounds. He's also lead the team in rebounds in nine straight and points + rebound in six of nine.
Philly is depleted in the front court with several players including Joel Embiid not expected to play, leaving it wide open for Antetokounmpo to put up huge numbers.
Jimmy Butler Over 17.5 Points (-105)
The writing is on the wall that Jimmy Butler is auditioning for his next team. After serving a suspension from Heat, he came back and had 18 points against Denver. That was a game to shake off the rust, but he should be better for however long he remains in Miami.
The Heat want him to play well to show his trade value and he wants to show a playoff contender he can be an asset. San Antonio is average defense at 18th in defensive efficiency. The forward position, especially ones that can shot from the perimeter has been cashing overs including six of their last seven. Miami is also still a playoff contender so they will let Butler go off if it means winning.
