The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks will face-off on Saturday night in what is the best NBA game of the day.

The Bucks will enter the game as home favorites, as they look to extend their win streak to 17.

But, what about player props? That’s what I’m here for. I think there are some great spots to back the 76ers in the player prop marker tonight.

Let’s dive into them.

76ers vs. Bucks player props

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 31.5 points
  • Joel Embiid OVER 10.5 rebounds

Giannis Antetokounmpo UNDER 31.5 points

Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.3 points per game this season, and his point total for tonight is set right at that number. With that being said, he has struggled in the shooting department in his two previous games against the 76ers this season, averaging only 23 points.

That makes sense when you realize how strong Philadelphia is on defense. The Sixers rank sixth in the NBA in defensive efficiency while allowing the third fewest points per game at 110.3.

It’s always risky to bet against Giannis, but I think tonight is a good time to take the UNDER on his point total.

Joel Embiid OVER 10.5 rebounds

Joel Embiid has dominated down low in his two games against the Bucks this season, averaging 11.5 rebounds per game against them. With his rebound total set at 10.5 for tonight, I love the OVER in this spot.

It’s also worth noting that Embiid has gone over this total in four of his last five games. I expect him to go over it again tonight.
