3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Bulls vs. Bucks Game 5 (Back Ayo Dosunmu, Giannis Antetokounmpo)

The Chicago Bulls are fighting for their lives in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks, as they are down 3-1 and without guards Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso in this matchup. 

The Bucks are 12.5-point favorites in this game at WynnBET, but if you’re looking for some player props, you came to the right place. 

Let’s get into some of my favorite picks for Game 5: 

Best Prop Bets for Bulls vs. Bucks Game 5

• Bobby Portis OVER 14.5 Points (-125)
• Ayo Dosunmu OVER 10.5 Points (-105)
• Giannis Antetokounmpo to Make 1+ 3-Pointers (-149)

Bobby Portis OVER 14.5 Points (-125)

Bobby Portis has been huge since Khris Middleton went down with a knee injury, as he’s scored 18 and 14 shots in each of the last two blowout wins for the Bucks. 

Portis is averaging 13 shots per game since moving to the starting lineup, and his numbers in the regular season showed that he is up to taking the challenge of a bigger role. 

With Middleton out of the lineup this season, Portis has thrived, averaging 14.7 points on 12.9 field goal attempts per game. 

He’s also averaging 15.5 points per game as a starter this season while taking 12.5 shots per game. As a reserve, he’s averaging just 10.4 points per game on 10.4 shots. I love Bobby P to get 15-plus to close out his former team on Wednesday. 

Ayo Dosunmu OVER 10.5 Points (-105)

This is strictly a volume play, as with LaVine and Caruso out, Dosunmu is going to get some extended run for the Bulls. 

With just Caruso missing half of Game 4, Dosunmu played 29 minutes and scored eight points on 3-of-7 shooting. I think he can push double-digit shot attempts in this game with someone other than DeMar DeRozan needing to step up for the Bulls. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo to Make 1+ 3-Pointers (-149)

Through four games of this series, Giannis Antetokounmpo has only hit a 3-pointer in two of them, but it;s not for a lack of trying. 

Giannis has attempted at least two 3-pointers in every game in this series, and now he faces the Bulls without Caruso hounding him on the perimeter. 

I think the MVP candidate will get enough volume from deep to find the bottom of the net in Game 5.
