Bucks vs. 76ers Odds

Bucks vs. 76ers Prop Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 29.5 points (-125) ★★★★★

I agree that Unders are boring and especially for a star player, but we are trying to make money Friday and we have a huge edge on the Under for Antetokounmpo's point total of 29.5. According to projections, Antetokounmpo will score 25 points against the Sixers, which means the 29.5 should trade at -260 and not -125.

The -125 juice seems steep, especially for a wager that most people will not want to make, but it is the best price available via DraftKings. The Under is trading at 29.5 (-130) via Caesars.

Brook Lopez Over 18.5 points and rebounds (-125) ★★★

If Antetokounmpo goes Under, someone has to go Over for the Bucks and my money's on center Brook Lopez. This season, Lopez has attempted 6.4 3-pointers per game, which is a career-high. There's a reason he's now known as Splash Mountain!

Based on the projections, Lopez is expected to combine for 20.5 points and rebounds against the Sixers. That's two above his prop line and therefore makes this prop a play if the price trades above -140. BetMGM offers the best price at -125, while PointsBet offers a slightly higher price at -128.

Joel Embiid Over 10.5 rebounds (-123) ★★★★

In an article about the Bucks and Sixers, it seems wrong not to include an Embiid prop, so, we've found one. What is even better than finding an edge for the Embiid prop is the fact that it is on the Over!

It is projected that Embiid will pull down 12 rebounds on Friday, which means this total of 10.5 can be played up to a price point of -160. Caesars offers the best price (-123) for this prop, which is two cents less than what DraftKings and BetMGM are offering (-125).
