A 2:00 P.M. E.T. NBA game has bettors rejoicing. Check out our +475 Parlay for Nets vs Cavs in Paris. If you want a quick player prop bet in that game, I’m all over Spencer Dinwiddie under 6.5 assists. For the rest of the slate, I have you covered with a player props bet.
Let’s dive into our best NBA player prop bet for games on Thursday, January 11. Also make sure you also read our NBA predictions for today’s games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, PF, MIL, Under 6.5 assists (-120)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
The most intriguing game on the slate is in Milwaukee, as the Bucks host the Boston Celtics. With the NBA nowadays, our fingers will be crossed that everybody on the Celtics will be active tonight after an overtime win last night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The core of the Celtics all played 40+ minutes, so we’ll have to see whether or not head coach Joe Mazzulla will push his guys. Nonetheless, DraftKings is hanging a great number and price on this player prop bet of 6.5 assists at -120, while FanDuel has Giannis Antetokounmpo’s assists set at 5.5.
The Celtics have constantly challenged Antetokounmpo. He has been held under this line in 3 of his last 5 games against the Celtics, which extends to the playoffs 2 seasons ago. With Damian Lillard now in the picture, we have to take those past numbers with a grain of salt. Antetokounmpo recorded 5 assists against the Celtics this season, with Lillard and Khris Middleton active. With all 3 players active, the Greek Freak has been held under this number in 18 of 28 games this season. We’ll wait and see how the Celtics defend Antetokounmpo, but I’ll take my chances with this +EV spot on DraftKings.
