The best matchup in the NBA on Tuesday night is between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns, so why don’t we place some prop bets on it to add to the intrigue?
Both of these teams are in the second night of a back-to-back, but there is value to be found in the prop market regardless.
Here are my three favorite plays:
Bucks vs. Suns best NBA prop bets
- Brook Lopez OVER 1.5 Blocks
- Josh Okogie OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
- Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 32.5 Points
Brook Lopez OVER 1.5 Blocks
Brook Lopez has been an absolute machine blocking shots, moving to the favorite in the odds to win the Defensive Player of the Year award this season.
Lopez has multiple blocks in five straight games and seven of his last nine matchups. The Bucks big man should have no problem working on Deandre Ayton and Jock Landale down low, and the Suns lack much size in the lineup after them.
After picking up 17 blocks in his last three games, Lopez is a value at just 1.5 blocks.
Josh Okogie OVER 1.5 3-Pointers Made
If you’re looking for a plus money prop, Josh Okogie’s 3-pointers may be the best way to go in this game.
Okogie is playing a huge role since the Kevin Durant trade, and he’s hit multiple treys in six of his last 10 games.
The Suns wing is also taking a healthy amount of shots from beyond the arc, attempting at least four in seven of his last 10. He should find a few open looks tonight, and at +105, I think the OVER is a value play.
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 32.5 Points
Giannis Antetokounmpo returned to the lineup on Monday night, dropping 46 points, and he should have a bigger offensive role than usual with Khris Middleton out for tonight’s game.
The Bucks superstar is a matchup nightmare for the Suns, who lack a lengthy defender with the footspeed to handle Giannis.
Ayton may draw him early, but Antetokounmpo showed in those 2021 NBA Finals that the Suns can’t really hold him down.
I love him to have another big game on Tuesday night.
