Giannis Antetokounmpo O/U 52.5 PRA vs. Nets
Again? Seriously? You and I both reading this.
I said it. You keep giving me this 51.5 PRA number and I will take it. Well, on some sportsbooks, this prop is 52.5. I am ok with playing either number in Game 6.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has had a tremendous series versus Brooklyn, no doubt about that, but this number remains too high.
The Bucks superstar and former two-time MVP put up a 50 PRA performance in the previous game. Over the five games series with the Nets, Giannis has posted 49, 33, 49, 49 and 50 PRA in 37.8 minutes per game.
The Greek Freak played his second 40-minute plus performance of the series and third of the postseason. In the three games, Giannis averages 31.0 points, 14.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists for 49.2 PRA. [[ad:athena]]
Giannis scored 33 or 34 points in four of the five postseason meetings with the Nets. If you are looking for an Over, that is the one to play.
For the season, Giannis is now 14-of-71 (19.7%) to the Over 52.5 PRA and 18-of-71 (25.4%) to the 51.5 PRA. In his 10 playoff games, Giannis has yet to hit the Over, giving him a 0% hit rate versus Miami and Brooklyn, per props.cash.
Overall, I like the Under because of his three-point shooting, free-throw shooting and assist numbers.
Over the series, Giannis averages 3.4 assists per game with 24.5% from three and 36.0% from the free-throw line.
Being home in Milwaukee has not been favorable for his shot either, if that is a thought of the readers. Giannis went 2-of-13 (15.3%) from three and 9-of-19 (47.3%) from the charity stripe at home versus Brooklyn in Games 3 and 4.
In those two outings, Giannis combined for five total assists compared to 67 points. It is pretty obvious where Giannis’ mind is at when he holds the rock.
In four total home games during the playoffs, Giannis is 3-of-23 (13%) from three and 21-of-39 (53.8%) from the free-throw line. He has averaged 31.0 points, 14.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists for 49.2 PRA versus Brooklyn and Miami.
The Nets have yet to figure out a way to stop Giannis in the paint either, so I expect more two-point attempts and free-throw attempts, both positives to an Under 51.5-52.5 PRA total.
Antetokounmpo landed between 47 and 50 PRA in seven of those 10 outings, but no more than 50.
Keep riding this train until it takes us to wherever Giannis plans on vacationing.
Pick: Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 52.5 PRA (1u) down to 50.5 PRA
