3 Bold Predictions for Giannis Antetokounmpo in Bucks vs. Sixers

The Milwaukee Bucks are six-point road favorites against an undermanned Philadelphia 76ers team on Tuesday night. 

WynnBET is favoring the Bucks without Khris Middleton because the Sixers will not have Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris or Matisse Thybulle due to the league’s health and safety protocols. 

This could mean that superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is in for a big game, and here are three bold player prop predictions I’m making for his performance tonight: 

Bold Predictions for Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Sixers

• Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 28.5 Points (-112)
• Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 33.5 Points and Assists (-115)
• Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 28.5 Points (-112)

Giannis is averaging 27.3 points per game this season, but he’s scored 25 or more in seven consecutive games. 

With Embiid out, the Sixers relied heavily on Georges Niang and Andre Drummond against the New York Knicks Monday, but neither is a good enough defender to contain Giannis. 

Julius Randle lit up the Sixers for 31 last night, and I’d expect the two-time MVP to put together a similar performance tonight. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 33.5 Points and Assists (-115)

I’m already backing Giannis as a scorer, but he’s also been a great passer with Middleton sidelined for the Bucks. Antetokounmpo is averaging 6.0 assists per game this season and has four or more dimes in four straight contests. 

He may get to this prop on points alone, so I’ll gladly take the boost with the assists over 33.5. Giannis has cleared this number five times already this season. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

Like I mentioned, Embiid is out and the Sixers went small at points against the Knicks on Monday, playing Drummond with Danny Green, Seth Curry, Tyrese Maxey and Furkan Korkmaz. 

That’s going to be hard to do against the Bucks, so I love the fact that we’re getting Giannis at just 10.5 rebounds when he averages 11.1 on the season. 

He’s coming off an 18-rebound game against the Washington Wizards last time out, and I think he dominates an undermanned Sixers team in every aspect tonight.
