The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks face off on Friday in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference NBA playoff series, and there are plenty of NBA player props that make a lot of sense. Let’s take a look at the best NBA player props for Friday.
Trae Young over 30.5 points (-110)
It’s pretty clear that the Milwaukee Bucks don’t have anyone to slow down Trae Young, and he is going to have a big game in this one. In 41 minutes in Game 1 of this series, Young finished with 48 points. This is the best prop bet on the board, and he should have no issue going well over this number.
Trae Young to score 40+ points (+580)
This one shouldn’t be bet as big as the other Young prop bet, but throwing a few dollars on this makes a whole lot of sense. Young scored 48 points in Game 1, and he is going to finish with at least 40 points in this game.
Jrue Holiday to record 8+ assists (-120)
Jrue Holiday needs to be the leader of the offense in terms of assists, and he is going to find success. In Game 7 against the Brooklyn Nets he finished with eight assists, and in Game 1, he finished 10 assists. Look for Holiday to finish with at least eight assists.
Giannis Antetokounmpo over 33.5 points (-116)
Just like the Bucks can’t slow down Young, the Hawks don’t have anyone to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo scored 34 points in the first game, and that seems like the worst case scenario in this game. Look for Antetokounmpo to finish closer to 40 points.
Khris Middleton under 23.5 points (-104)
Khris Middleton only scored 15 points in the first game, and although I think he finds more success than that in this game, this 23 points is too high. I expect Middleton to score closer to 20 or 21 points, and the under will cash.
