Best Magic vs. Bucks prop predictions
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 29.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 53.49%
Terms and conditions apply.
Giannis leads the league in scoring at 32.5 points per game, and he comfortably leads in points per game at home with a monster 35.9. Based on his performance this season, his points line is set far too low, so we’re hammering the Over here.
Orlando sports the best scoring defense in the NBA, but the Magic will have a tough time slowing down a player who’s scored at least 30 points in 14 of 21 games this season, including 10 of 12 at home. Giannis has gone for at least 35 in half of his home games.
Antetokounmpo has scored no fewer than 31 points in each of his last five games against the Magic, averaging 34 in those contests. We’ll back the superstar to stay hot at home and take advantage of this mispriced line.
Jalen Suggs Over 20.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -115 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 53.49%
WIth both Banchero and Wagner sidelined, someone’s got to pick up the scoring slack for Orlando, and Suggs is the next man up.
Suggs has improved as a scorer, averaging 19.1 points per game across his last seven and hitting the Over on this prop three times. That includes two straight games with at least 22 points.
In Wagner’s absence, Suggs led Orlando with a whopping 34% Usage Rate on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns and posted a team-high 26 points in the process. He’s scored 20 or more in seven games this season, including four times on the road.
Suggs is averaging 15 points at home and 16.6 on the road, making this prop even more enticing.
Goga Bitadze double-double ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +300 via Caesars | Implied probability: 25.00%
New users only. Must use promo code. Min. $10 deposit. Max. additional winnings $2.5K per token. Tokens expire in 14 days. Void where prohibited. Full terms.
Bitadze went off for 21 points and pulled down a career-best 16 rebounds in the Magic’s last game, but we’re not chasing one good game. Bitadze is enjoying a career year, and we can get a prop that he’s cashed regularly for juicy, plus-money odds.
The backup big man entered the starting five when Wendell Carter Jr. went down with an injury, but the two have shared the frontcourt in a jumbo starting lineup since the latter's return.
Over the last six games, starting with Carter Jr., Bitadze has averaged 11.2 points and 9.3 boards and posted three double-doubles. He’s posted seven double-doubles on the season overall and recorded at least 10 rebounds in eight games.
