Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

  • We’ve got a couple of interesting NBA player props for you for Saturday, February 3, 2024!
  • Luka Doncic or Giannis Antetokounmpo – who’s gonna score more points tonight?
  • Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama “under” are another two props we think will win.  

Six games are on the program on Saturday, February 3, with the Milwaukee Bucks at Dallas Mavericks being the biggest game of the day. It’s because this game is a duel between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic, two superstars who are averaging 30+ points this season.

Another interesting game is the Cleveland Cavaliers at San Antonio Spurs, in which the visitors will have to work hard to stop Victor Wembanyama from scoring too many points.

The same goes for the Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks game, in which Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and their teammates need to find a way to deal with the in-form Jalen Brunson.

Prop Pick

Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks is sitting in the No. 2 place on the list of points leaders in the 2023-24 NBA with a PPG of 34.7. Two spots below is his rival from the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo with a 30.9 PPG.

Both players have been on brilliant form lately, with Doncic even scoring 73 points in one game in January. In his most recent game, Luka scored 45 points, which would make you think he’s ready for another high-scoring performance.

Well, the thing is that he missed Dallas’s previous game (vs. Minnesota Timberwolves) due to an ankle injury and is still uncertain for the Bucks vs. Mavericks game. However, Luke Doncic props are still available at BetUS Sportsbook, including the one for a head-to-head points duel with Antetokounmpo.

In fact, BetUS’s oddsmakers think Doncic will score more points tonight than Antetokounmpo, as evident from the fact that his odds are -278. We, however, don’t think that’s going to happen.

Not only is he struggling with an injury, but this guy doesn’t usually do well in duels with Milwaukee. Doncic scored fewer points than Antetokounmpo in two of their last three duels.

NBA Player PropOdds
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Luka Doncic Most Points: Giannis Antetokounmpo

Cavaliers vs. Spurs

How to Watch

Prop Pick

The San Antonio Spurs aren’t doing great this season. They’re also in poor form with three losses in a row. The main reason for this is that the Spurs aren’t scoring much.

Their average in the 2023-24 NBA season is 112.6 PPG, which makes them the 7th-worst team in the league. Further, their PPG in their last three games is just 108.0.

As if all wasn’t bad enough, their next opponent is one of the best defenses in the NBA. The Cleveland Cavaliers are conceding just 109.8 points per game, which makes them the 3rd-best in the league.

We think these guys can stop San Antonio’s points leader Victor Wembanyama from scoring more than 22.5 points this evening.

NBA Player PropOdds
Victor Wembanyama Under 22.5 Points

Lakers vs. Knicks

How to Watch

  • When: Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 8:30 p.m. ET
  • Where: Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York            
  • Channel: NBA League Pass

Prop Pick

Both Anthony Davis and LeBron James had some injury problems earlier this week, but they should be ready to come back. If they do return, the Lakers are bound to do much better defensively than usual.

The boys from LA are conceding 117.2 points per game on average, which is just too much for a team of this quality. However, we do think they’re going to lower that number in the near future.

For that to happen, they need to stop the NY Knicks’s in-form point guard Jalen Brunson. This guy scored 40 points in his last game, but we think the Lakers will keep him to a much lower number. Probably under 32.5.

NBA Player PropOdds
Jalen Brunson under 32.5 Points
