The Washington Wizards and Milwaukee Bucks face off for the second time in as many games, but the Bucks will have their stars back in the lineup.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday are both probable for this game, and that has changed some of our prop options in this matchup.

Here are three to consider for this game:

Wizards vs. Bucks best NBA prop bets

  • Kristaps Porzingis UNDER 8.5 Rebounds
  • Grayson Allen OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
  • Jrue Holiday OVER 6.5 Assists

Kristaps Porzingis UNDER 8.5 Rebounds

Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 8.9 rebounds per game this season, but he has a tough matchup against the Bucks, who are second in the league in rebounding percentage.

Porzinigis grabbed just five boards in the Wizards’ win over the Bucks on Sunday, but Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t even play in this game. His rebound prop is set at 12.5, which means there could be even less chances on the glass for Porzingis and Washington.

KP has also gone under this number in five of his last eight games.

Grayson Allen OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made

Grayson Allen has cleared 1.5 treys in eight of his last 15 games, and with Khris Middleton out of the lineup, I think Allen can go over this again.

He’s taken a lot of 3-pointers lately, attempting 27 over his last three games and clearing this line in each of them.

Volume will be the key for Allen here, but if he sees anywhere close to this many attempts, he’s too good of a shooter (38.3 percent from 3) to go under this line.

Jrue Holiday OVER 6.5 Assists

I think we’re getting a little value on this line on Tuesday, even though we have to lay some juice with it.

Jrue Holiday is averaging 7.5 assists per game on the season, and he’s cleared this line in five of six and seven of his last 10 games.

He’s going to have the ball in his hands a good amount with Middleton out, so I’ll trust Jrue to go OVER this line against a below average Wizards team.
