Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers Player Prop Picks
Our favorite Milwaukee Bucks vs. Philadelphia 76ers player prop picks include Buddy Hield hitting three or more three-pointers at -150 odds and Giannis Antetokounmpo pulling down 13 or more rebounds at -106 odds. See below why we are backing these two players!
Buddy Hield Over 2.5 Threes (-150) – DraftKings
Buddy Hield has wasted no time getting acquainted with his new teammates in Philadelphia; he has posted 19.3 points per game on roughly 49% shooting from the field, 46% from behind the arc, and 75% from the free throw line. Additionally, Hield has shot just below ten three-pointers per game, knocking down more than four per game for the Sixers. He has hit the Over on this line in all six of his games for Philly and has played between 32 and 44 minutes in those outings. The combination of volume, accuracy, and minutes in his short span with the Sixers is very promising.
Additionally, our team has detailed, across many articles and videos, how poor the Milwaukee Bucks’ point-of-attack defense (and perimeter defense, in general) has been this season. In this situation, the Bucks will have Malik Beasley guarding Buddy Hield, which is a hilarious matchup, considering they are two of the best catch-and-shoot shooting guards in the NBA and also cannot defend to save their lives.
Milwaukee has allowed opposing shooting guards to score the second-most points of any team in the NBA, so Hield will have plenty of opportunities to score. This becomes even more apparent since Embiid is still sidelined. Lastly, the Bucks have allowed opponents to knock down the fourth-highest percentage of threes in their past three games. Even with added motivation to get things back on track, Milwaukee will still have difficulty chasing Hield around all game long.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 12.5 Rebounds (-106) – FanDuel
History has been on the side of Giannis’ Over backers, at least for his rebounds, in games against the Philadelphia 76ers. In fact, Giannis has pulled down 13 or more rebounds in nine consecutive regular season games versus the Sixers. No, that is not a typo, believe it or not.
The Sixers have been a horrendous rebounding team without Joel Embiid this season, pulling down merely 41.6 rebounds per game in his absence (22 games.) If that were maintained over the entire season, Philly would be the sixth-worst rebounding team in the league, at least in that statistic.
Besides Embiid, it is not like the 76ers have much size anyway. They have recently been rolling out a starting lineup featuring Tyrese Maxey, Buddy Hield, Kelly Oubre Jr., Tobias Harris, and Paul Reed. None of those players has a remote chance of keeping Giannis off the glass.
To support this claim, look no further than this statistic: Philadelphia has given up the most rebounds to opposing power forwards in the NBA this season.
