Thunder vs Bucks NBA Preview
Action PRO projects Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo for 3.94 assists tonight, a great 24.9% edge against the market when compared to his 5.5 line.
He has gone under this line in six of his eight games in January.
Giannis is averaging 4.9 assists in his last 10 contests, 0.6 fewer than his season average of exactly 5.5.
He will be facing a Thunder defense that ranks first in the NBA in fewer points conceded (108.0), and third in assists allowed to opponents (24.5), so you can fade Giannis tonight in this category against OKC.
