Probably the most intriguing NBA game on Saturday, February 3, will be played in Dallas between the inter-conference rivals, and here you can read the Bucks vs Mavericks Player Prop Bets. The Milwaukee Bucks come to Texas to avoid the third loss in a row, while the Dallas Mavericks want to return to winning ways after a blowout defeat in Minneapolis.
Bucks vs Mavericks Player Prop Bets – Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 2.5 Steals and Blocks (+125)
Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks in points (30.9) and rebounds (11.6) per game this season, but what’s more important for this bet, is that he averages a team-high 1.4 spg and 1.1 bpg. In four of the last eight games, Giannis combined for at least three steals and blocks, while in those four games he failed to do so, he had exactly two steals and blocks combined.
Antetokounmpo registered three thefts and a rejection in the most recent games against the Trail Blazers. In one H2H against Dallas this year, Giannis had two steals and a block, and such a performance would be enough for us to win the bet tonight.
Dallas is not defending power forwards well, but we need Antetokounmpo to impress defensively this time out. Luka Doncic is averaging 3.9 turnovers per game, and I think Giannis will be the one to guard him in certain situations. That is a chance for the Greek Freak to get some steals. Antetokounmpo failed to get a theft in just one of the previous eight games, while he had at least a block in six of the last seven.
Luka Doncic Over 1.5 Steals (+115)
Luka Doncic has been in the best form of all NBA players in the last two weeks. Not only that he scored a career-high 73 points in Atlanta last week, but he also recorded four triple-doubles in the previous six games.
Luka sat out the most recent game against the Timberwolves, but he will be fresh to face Antetokounmpo, Lillard, and co. We all know what an offensive monster Doncic is, but his defense shouldn’t be overlooked. This season, Luka leads the Mavs in steals per game (1.4), which is also his career-high.
He registered 2+ steals in five of the last seven games, including the previous two. Milwaukee doesn’t commit a lot of turnovers, but Doncic’s quick hands can easily give him a pair of thefts here. The odds on this pick are attractive, so if only one of these two Bucks vs Mavericks Player Prop Bets turns out to be a winner, we’d still make a profit.
