For the final NBA prop piece on Monday, January 29, we have the most intriguing clash, and here you can read the Bucks vs Nuggets Player Prop Bets. The Denver Nuggets will host the Milwaukee Bucks, searching for the fifth home win in a row, while the Bucks look for the third straight road victory.
Bucks vs Nuggets Player Prop Bets – Nikola Jokic Over 39.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)
Nikola Jokic leads Denver in numerous segments; such as points (26.3 ppg), rebounds (12.0 rpg), assists (8.9 apg), blocks (0.9 bpg), and minutes (33.6 mpg). The two-time NBA MVP is a double-double machine and already has 13 triple-doubles this season.
Jokic registered 10+ boards in nine straight games, while he combined for 40+ PTS and REB in six games in that span. I am opting against PTS, AST, and REB combo at 49.5 because I am not sure whether he’ll contribute enough assists.
Milwaukee allows 120.1 ppg and 43.9 rpg this year, both of which are not even near to top 10 in the NBA. When it comes to defense vs. position, the Bucks allow 23.0 ppg and 14.4 rpg to the opposing centers. Jokic scored 25+ in each of the past nine showings, so I am backing him to get around 30 tonight. I’d be shocked if he finishes the game with single-digit rebounds.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 49.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-110)
We conclude the Bucks vs Nuggets Player Prop Bets with another former MVP. Giannis Antetokounmpo, same as Jokic, leads his team in multiple segments such as points (31.0 ppg), rebounds (11.7 rpg), steals (1.3 spg), and blocks (1.1 bpg).
Giannis is another double-double machine; he registered a DD in 15 of the last 16 games and even had five triple-doubles in that stretch. However, he failed to combine 50+ PTS, AST, and REB in six of the previous nine outings.
Antetokounmpo will face Aaron Gordon in a direct matchup. Gordon is a solid defender, who is capable of sacrificing his offensive contribution for a solid defense and for the team. I believe the Greek Freak will not have a field day on Monday. In 19 games against Denver, Antetokounmpo averages 21.8 ppg, 9.5 rpg, and 4.4 apg. The Nuggets allow 22.0 ppg, 9.8 rpg, and 4.2 apg to the opposing power forwards.
