Bucks Best NBA Prop Bet

It’s been a unsmooth commencement to nan play for caller Bucks halfway Myles Turner, arsenic he’s averaging conscionable 9.8 points per crippled while shooting 40.0 percent from nan section and 35.7 percent from 3.

Turner was ever going to request immoderate clip to set to playing alongside Giannis, but he’s scored 13 aliases less points successful 7 of his 8 games, pinch his champion crippled (17 points against Golden State) coming pinch Giannis retired of nan lineup.

I person a difficult clip backing Turner successful immoderate scoring prop, moreover against a Chicago defense that is allowing complete 24 points per crippled to nan halfway position this season. Turner is taking conscionable 8.8 shots per crippled and has 5 games pinch less than 10 changeable attempts truthful acold this season. 

Both nan Bucks and Bulls person done a coagulated occupation against nan spread, arsenic Milwaukee is 5-3 against nan number this season.

However, nan Bucks person grounded to screen successful back-to-back games, beating nan Indiana Pacers squad without respective rotation players connected a buzzer beater by Giannis earlier losing by 28 successful Toronto.

The Bucks are conscionable 16th successful nan NBA successful nett standing and while they deserved to beryllium favored astatine home, I’m not sold connected them moving distant pinch this crippled against Chicago. The Bulls’ only nonaccomplishment came connected nan roadworthy against nan New York Knicks, who are undefeated astatine location truthful acold (5-0) this season.

Other than that, Chicago has won and covered successful each different crippled this season. 

I wouldn’t beryllium shocked to spot Chicago bent around, particularly since it has changeable nan 3-ball truthful good (third successful 3-point percentage) to unfastened this season. Milwaukee relies truthful heavy connected Giannis that it is simply a spot of a shaky stake to screen immoderate of these spreads, going conscionable 1-2 against nan number arsenic a favourite this season. 

Pick: Bulls +4.5 (-110 astatine DraftKings)
