💰 Best Thunder vs. Bucks prop bet: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander goes off for 32+ points (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander averaged just 28.7 points per game against the Bucks last season, but now he gets to face the worst version of the Bucks since the 2015-16 season, based on their win total at the best sports betting sites.
The Bucks rank 21st in defensive efficiency this season, their lowest mark in 10 years. While Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t been great against Milwaukee, those numbers can be thrown out the window, as he now has the opportunity to bully a below-average defense.

🔥 More Thunder vs. Bucks prop picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo crashes the boards for 11+ rebounds (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Antetokounmpo has been bullying Oklahoma City’s bigs on the boards, grabbing 12 or more rebounds in each of the last three times he’s faced them.
Not only has he cashed this prop in three straight meetings with the Thunder, but he’s also grabbed 19 rebounds in two of those matchups, making him a strong candidate for a ladder bet. It’s not like Antetokounmpo has been a slouch on the boards recently, either, as he recorded 17 rebounds against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.
Chet Holmgren stays hot with 19+ points (-110) ⭐⭐⭐
Holmgren appears to be settling into his role as the clear No. 2 option with Jalen Williams out, scoring 28 points in a double-digit road win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
The situation tonight is very similar, as the Thunder are an 11.5-point favorite on the road against Milwaukee. While most star players tend to be subbed out during a rout, Holmgren played 31 minutes in Monday's win over the Cavaliers and stayed on the court until 2:35 remained in the fourth quarter - so there’s no concern that he’ll exit early if the Thunder build a big lead.
