Prop Pick

Giannis Antetokounmpo missed Milwaukee’s game against Toronto due to a calf injury, which the Bucks still won (128-112). The Greek Freak is expected to come back this evening against the Charlotte Hornets. But will he be able to pick up where he left off?

Before missing his first game of the 2023 NBA season, Giannis was on a roll with three straight double-double performances, which saw him score a total of 124 points (41.33 PPG).

Our NBA player prop pick is that he won’t get anywhere near that number. It’s not that he can’t do it. It’s just that coach Adrian Griffin might decide to give him only a limited time on the court to prevent any risk of his injury coming back.

NBA Player Prop	Odds
Giannis Antetokounmpo under 30.5 points

Prop Pick

This is going to be a real thriller in our opinion. We’ll see many battles on the court of Delta Center, the biggest being the point-scoring duel between the Suns’ scoring leader Kevin Durant (30.1 PPG), and the Jazz’s top scorer Lauri Markkanen (23.9 PPG). Who’s gonna score more tonight?

NBA player prop odds suggest it’s going to be Durant, but we feel as if the Finnish star can prove the bookies wrong. This guy’s been in excellent shape, and he loves playing big games such as the one against the Suns.

On top of everything, tonight’s game is played in Utah, and the fan support is likely to give Markkanen a major boost. Not that he’s going to need it…
