The Miami Heat hit the road tonight to Milwaukee to try and extend their current winning streak to five games against the Bucks. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Heat vs. Bucks

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 28.5 Points (-125)
  • Jrue Holiday OVER 17.5 Points (-115)
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 11.5 Rebounds (+100)

Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 28.5 Points (-125)

There is no question that Giannis is one of the best players in the NBA and probably will be for years to come. But even great players have down games and I have the feeling the Greek Freak is due for one tonight. While he has been routinely going over this total, he’s been doing so against some of the weaker defenses in the league. The Heat do not fall into that category and do a great job of defending both outside and inside the perimeter. The Heat held him to 15 points in both of the previous games they played this year and appear to have his number. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 11.5 Rebounds (+100)

.While I am skeptical of Giannis’ scoring tonight, I am all-in on his newfound love of rebounding. Antetokounmpo is averaging 11.4 rebounds per game on the year and 12.2 over the last month. But he has gone over 14 rebounds in his last two games in a row and has gone over this total in his last five. Only three times since the end of January has he not gone over this total and I have faith tonight won't be number four. 

Jrue Holiday OVER 17.5 Points (-115)

Holiday is putting up some of the best numbers in his 13-year career with the Bucks this season. He is shooting over 50 percent from the field and over 41 percent from downtown. Predictably, these percentages sent his scoring totals through the roof and Holiday is averaging a career-best 18.2 points per game. He is coming off a 21 point game against Charlotte and has gone under this total just twice since the end of January.
