NBA Player Prop Picks for Wednesday: Key Matchups Highlighted

With 10 NBA games scheduled for Wednesday, two marquee matchups steal the spotlight: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers. These star-studded games, broadcast nationally on ESPN and ABC, promise tight contests and a glimpse into potential playoff scenarios.

For those seeking action and tracking wagers, here are some top NBA player prop picks for the primetime games on Wednesday:

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER Points

• Antetokounmpo has consistently scored at least 34 points in his last three encounters with the Cavaliers.
• Despite Cleveland’s robust defense, Antetokounmpo exploits mismatches when guarded by center Jarrett Allen on the perimeter.
• In January, he averages 32 points, shooting 61% from the field, with 12.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists.
• The Cavs lack an alternative defender to challenge Antetokounmpo, making him a focal point yet again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Props:

• Points: O/U 32.5
• Total Rebounds: O/U 11.5
• Total Assists: O/U 6.5

2. Donovan Mitchell OVER Assists

• Facing the Bucks, Mitchell benefits from their defensive vulnerabilities, especially on the perimeter.
• Milwaukee allows teams to shoot 47%, and their weakness in defending the paint could aid Mitchell’s playmaking.
• Mitchell, in exceptional form during the Cavaliers’ winning streak, scored 45 and 34 points in the past two games.
• With teammate Darius Garland sidelined, Mitchell is likely to draw extra attention, creating opportunities for his teammates.

Donovan Mitchell’s Props:

• To Win MVP: +25000
• To Win Clutch Player of the Year: +5000

3. LeBron James OVER Rebounds

• The Mavericks and Lakers boast a high pace of play, contributing to additional possessions and rebounding opportunities.
• James has collected at least eight rebounds in four consecutive matchups against the Mavericks, twice this year.
• Dallas struggles in defensive rebounding, with a rate of just 72.7%, providing chances for offensive boards.
• Considering the Mavs’ difficulties on the glass, James has favorable odds to exceed his rebounding average.

LeBron James’ Rebounding Line:

• To cover, needs one more rebound than his average.
