The Washington Wizards are in a downward spiral having lost seven of their last eight games. Life doesn’t get much easier tonight when they take on the Bucks in Milwaukee. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Wizards vs. Bucks

  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope OVER 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)
  • Kristaps Porzingis OVER 20.5 Points (-130)
  • Kristaps Porzingis OVER 1.5 Blocked Shots (+130)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope OVER 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-125)

This prop relies heavily on Caldwell-Pope’s rebounding totals tonight. He has been up and down lately on the glass, but I think this matchup bodes well for him in that area. For as good as the Bucks are, they are not the best rebounding team. Milwaukee ranks 19th in the opponent's total rebounds per game and I think Caldwell-Pope exploits that lack of tenacity on the boards. He’s also averaging 16.3 points per game this month which helps a lot. 

Kristaps Porzingis OVER 20.5 Points (-130)

Porzingis is a player I have had my eye on since his trade from Dallas at the start of March. So far, I like what I have seen. Porzingis averaged 14.9 points per game in his last month with the Mavericks. He added 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game to that scoring average. Since joining the Wizards, Porzingis is averaging 20.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game. He is much more involved in the offense and is regaining his confidence on and off the ball. 

Kristaps Porzingis OVER 1.5 Blocked Shots (+130)

Porzingis has quietly started nagging opposing shooters lately on a level he had not previously done. He is averaging 1.6 blocked shots since the trade and is coming off a five-block game against the Houston Rockets. Plus, the Milwaukee Bucks are the 28th ranked offense in terms of blocks per game and block percentage overall. I think the Unicorn gets his tonight.
