Andrew Caley analyzes key props for the Bucks vs. Thunder NBA Cup Finals, focusing on Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Damian Lillard, and Lu Dort's performance.
Andrew Caley breaks down his favorite Bucks vs. Thunder props ahead of tonight's NBA Cup Finals in Las Vegas including Damian Lillard and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander .The NBA Cup Final features two of the biggest names in the sport, figuratively and literally. That’s because the Milwaukee Bucks ’ Giannis Antetokounmpo will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder ’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander .
It seems appropriate that those names will be lit up by the bright lights of Las Vegas with the game being played at T-Mobile Arena. And with names this big you know we’ve got to have some Bucks vs Thunder props to go along with them.. And I think a win in tonight’s NBA Cup Final could be a precursor to what we see from OKC in June. That said, I will still happily fade them on the glass with opposing player rebounding props. The Thunder are great at a lot of things. It’s just rebounding isn’t one of them. Now, some of that is due to injuries but it doesn’t change the fact that OKC enters this matchup against theis still a monster on the boards averaging 11.5 rebounds per game this season but 12.5 is a big number, even for the Greek Freak.. Lillard is known for his scoring and playmaking prowess but he’s also Milwaukee’s fourth-leading rebounder, averaging 4.5 per contest. His rebounding prop is set at 4.5 for this one with the Over getting decent plus money. It’s a number he’s gone over in six of his last 11 games and three of his last four overall. At this price, in this matchup, I’m happy to back him to do it again.As noted, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are the biggest names in this NBA Cup Final (literally) but the winner of this great matchup will need some of its secondary players to step up.. The Oklahoma City Thunder 3-and-D specialist may not be scoring as much as in years past, but he is arguably having the best shooting season of his career and enters this big game dialed in from beyond the arc. Dort is shooting a career-best 4
