We have the battle of two No. 1 seeds here tonight. Some could argue that this is a game of relevance for both Jokic and Giannis in the MVP race. I feel like Giannis is a deep third behind Jokic and Embiid, but Giannis certainly has a decent case.

Milwaukee would love to win this game. The Bucks would love to clinch the top seed as soon as possible to get the most rest for the playoffs. This game should be a competitive one where we see Giannis actually play 30+ minutes. There’s a direct correlation between this bet having a good hit rate and Giannis seeing bigger minutes.

Giannis has hit this prop in games of 30+ minutes in 12 of his last 14 games. The Greek Freak faced off against Denver once this year and scored 33 points. Denver was without Jokic for that contest, but you could argue that Jokic playing should be beneficial for Giannis because he’s too slow to keep up and not much of a threat defensively.

Denver has allowed plenty of points in the paint as of late, and that’s Antentounmpo’s bread and butter. Denver doesn’t have a single defender that scares me, and Giannis likes to take matchups like this into his own hands. I feel like we could see a Giannis masterclass tonight. We’ll play it safe and ask for 31 points here; let's roll!
