NBA No House Advantage – Best NBA Player Props
Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at CHI: Over 31.5 Points
Giannis has been a bit inconsistent lately. Over his last seven games, he scored fewer than 20 points two times. However, he also scored at least 40 points twice. In general, he is having another MVP-caliber season, providing 31.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. His usage rate is a whopping 38.2%, and he should remain busy Wednesday with Khris Middleton (knee) still sidelined.
As far as matchups go, this is a great one for Giannis. The Bulls are not a good defensive team, and they don’t do a good job of defending the paint. The last time he faced them, Giannis scored 36 points over 34 minutes. Despite this hefty number, the over is still the way to go.
Jordan Poole, GS vs. UTA: Over 23.5 Points
The Warriors have played each of the last six games without Stephen Curry (shoulder). Poole scored at least 24 points in five of those games and averaged 27.8 points overall. He averaged 20.5 shot attempts during that stretch, up from the 15.5 shot attempts per game that he has averaged for the season.
Not only will Curry be out again Wednesday, but Klay Thompson will also likely sit out for rest since the Warriors just played Tuesday. He has not appeared in both games of a back-to-back set yet this season. All of the shots that he can handle against a Jazz team that has the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league could lead to a monster scoring performance from Poole.
Russell Westbrook, LAL at MIA: Over 5.5 Rebounds
Westbrook has seen his production take a hit this season in his new role off the bench. Still, he is averaging 6.3 rebounds per game. He produced a triple-double against the Magic on Tuesday, which included 13 rebounds. That was his third double-digit rebound performance over his last six games.
With the Lakers playing for the second straight night, it would not be a surprise to see LeBron James rest. The Lakers are also without Anthony Davis (foot), so if LeBron sits, they will be without two of their best rebounders. Westbrook would also likely see added minutes if LeBron is out, leaving him with the potential to blow past this modest line.
Patrick Williams, CHI vs. MIL: Under 11.5 Points
Not a lot has gone right for the Bulls this season. While he’s not one of the bigger names on the team, the Bulls were hoping for improved play from Williams. They don’t have much talent at power forward, so they needed Williams to stay healthy and played added minutes. He has averaged 28 minutes over 33 games, but he hasn’t been a significant contributor statistically, providing 9.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game.
With regards to this stat line, Williams has scored 11 or fewer points in 13 of his last 16 games. That included a matchup against these same Bucks in which he scored 11 points. Add his limited 15.1% usage rate to the potential for foul trouble against Giannis and the under here could prove to be profitable.
