One of the best matchups in the NBA on Thursday night is in Milwaukee with the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard facing Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

With so many stars in this game, why not bet some player props?

Here are three that I’m considering for this primetime matchup:

[tally site url=”https://tallysight.com/widget/offers/fansided/dynamic/sportsbooks:1,2/promos:1/sport:nba”]

Clippers vs. Bucks best NBA prop bets

  • Kawhi Leonard OVER 27.5 Points
  • Grayson Allen OVER 1.5 3-Pointers
  • Jrue Holiday OVER 11.5 Rebounds and Assists

Kawhi Leonard OVER 27.5 Points

Kawhi Leonard has found his stride at this point in the season, putting up crazy numbers over his last 10 games while shooting the ball at a high clip as well.

Leonard has put up 28 or more points in five of his last eight games, finishing with 27 on the dot in two of the games he fell short.

The Bucks and Clippers should play a close matchup tonight, and Los Angeles has really turned things around on offense, ranking No. 3 in the league over its last 10 games.

Grayson Allen OVER 1.5 3-Pointers

Every time Vegas is putting Grayson Allen at just 1.5 3-pointers, I’m taking the OVER.

Allen has hit multiple 3-pointers in seven of his last nine games, shooting 45.1 percent from beyond the arc over that stretch.

The Bucks need Allen’s scoring with Khris Middleton still working himself back into his normal role, and he’s been a great floor spacer all season. We have to lay some juice here, but I love the OVER for Allen.

Jrue Holiday OVER 11.5 Rebounds and Assists

Jrue Holiday has picked up 12 or more rebounds and assists in eight of his last 10 games, and I like him to do that again on Thursday.

Holiday is averaging 12.5 rebounds and assists per game on the season, and he’s averaging 13.8 rebounds and assists per game over his last 10 matchups.

This is a value line for Holiday against a Clippers team that is 19th in defensive rating this season.
