Best Bucks vs. Thunder prop predictions
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 42.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 53.49%
Terms and conditions apply.
Antetokounmpo has been on a tear this season while averaging 32.7 points and 11.5 rebounds, good for 43.5 points + rebounds. He’ll benefit from an incredible matchup tonight, and we’re taking the Over on this combo prop.
The Thunder are tied with the lowly Washington Wizards for the most rebounds allowed this season, including the most offensive rebounds. That means there will be plenty of opportunities to crash the glass and lots of second-chance points for the Greek Freak.
Antetokounmpo has hit the Over on this line in three straight contests and six of 10. He’s averaged 34.4 points and 10.3 rebounds in those outings. He posted 30 points and 19 boards against the Thunder last season. We can count on another huge game tonight.
Isaiah Hartenstein Over 27.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +104 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 49.02%

Hartenstein started the season on a high note for his new team, but the hits keep coming for OKC’s starting center. The big man is averaging career highs across the board with 12.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists.
With an average of 28.9 PRAs this season, Hartenstein can produce a below-average game tonight and still hit the Over on this line. The Bucks are allowing a healthy 37.6 PRAs to opposing centers, and there’s no depth behind Hartenstein in Oklahoma City’s frontcourt.
He’s registered at least 28 PRAs in seven of 10 games, but we’re getting incredible value at +104 odds here. This line is offered at 26.5 for odds of -120 or shorter elsewhere among our best sports betting sites. Taking just one more PRA gets us to a profitable plus-money wager.
Damian Lillard Over 4.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +125 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 44.44%
Bonus bets will expire in 7 days. One new customer offer only. Additional terms and conditions apply.
Lillard is averaging 4.5 rebounds per game this season, so he’ll simply need to be average tonight to cash this plus-money prop. Milwaukee’s superstar point guard is averaging 4.3 rebounds per game at home and 4.8 outside of Fiserv Forum.
He's hit the Over on this line in only nine of 22 games this season, but Lillard has reached the mark in six of his last 11. That’s good for 54.5% of his outings, making these plus-money odds a bargain.
The Thunder are tied with the Washington Wizards for the most rebounds allowed to opponents this season. That includes the most rebounds given up to opposing point guards (8.4). OKC has surrendered 9.3 rebounds to PGs over its last seven matchups, setting Lillard up nicely here.
